Bus trip to Warwick.......

Yesterday I went on a bus trip to Warwick with a group of ladies from the Tenthill craft group. We had a wonderful day.

Our first stop was to the most wonderful patchwork shop. It was called Glenrose Patchwork. The shop was amazing. The ladies there provided us with a lovely morning tea. Unfortunately it was raining when we arrived and I left my camera on the bus. But I did steal a couple of photos from their website. The first one is of inside the shop and the second is the shop front. A few of us sat out on the veranda with our morning tea and watched the rain... It was lovely.

Another lovely shop we went to was Canning Town Patchwork. I got a couple of photos inside there.

From this shop I bought the most amazing tiny ric rac... I fell in love with it and got 10 metres of each of these three colours....... The large ric rac from another shop Shelly's Curtains and craft and yes I got 10 metres of it as well.....

We had a couple of competitions on the bus and I won one of them... Look what I got as my prize....

We also found a surprise waiting for each of us when we got on the bus to come home... mine was a wee small pink wheelie bin to sit on your desk... I forgot to take a photo of it...

I bought this at Spotlight in Ipswich last week. I need it for a project I am working on for the magazines.

You may have noticed the back ground in my photos... it is my most wonderful bag that I received from Cindy as a Christmas gift...... Here is a photo of the bag......

And lastly a photo of a name bunting that I have made for our newest grandee... Odin..... I have made these for our other grandees... Xavier, Rilee and Charli. They are so quick and easy to make. I think I will write up a quick little pattern and have the alphabet there so you can make what ever you want to. I have also made Merry Christmas.....

Well I had better get off here as it is time for me to prepare lunch. Steak and veggies today.....

Happy crafting......

Boonah Quilt Show.

What a wonderful time we had at the Boonah Quilt show, held on Friday and Saturday. I had my friend Lorraine next to me on her stall..... we had a ball. Lorraine's lovely grand daughters came with her on Saturday... one of them stayed and was making and selling cute little bracelets made from ... of all things, wee rubber bands... they were so cute. Lacey, my daughter who came with me to help and I both were given one to wear and keep. Though that didn't last long. I took mine off in the car on the way home as I was so hot and sweaty. Left it in her car and when she went back to Toowoomba our youngest daughter Louise saw it and ended up with both of them.... LOL went to town yesterday and found the packs to make them, for sale in The Reject Shop... so I have bought two packs for our youngest grand daughters to have a go at making some.

Here is a pic of my stall at the show......

And here is a pic of Lorraine at her stall.......

It really was a lovely couple of days. The Boonah Girl Guides look after you so well, a very enjoyable show.

The lady who ordered  the bone lacy zipper off me... if you read this could you please message me as I have lost your name and address......

Have fun everyone.........

What I made today........

I have been busy today, playing around making some little bags. Well two are really little bowls.

The first two are made from circles and are oh so easy to make.

 This one takes a little longer, but is still quite easy to make. I love the lacy zipper. Anyone who buys a zipper from me at the Boonah Quilt Show [on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th March], will receive the instructions on how to make the zipper bag.

 This bag actually holds quite a bit. Good to toss in with all your craft gear in your bag.

Well I am off now as all of our pets want to be fed.... they sure know how to tell me they are hungry.....

Have fun....
