Back again....



I hope I can manage to stay back this time... I have been flat out. We have been flooded in twice since Christmas. The last flood I have never seen so much water....




Lately I have been doing a lot of graphics work.  There are siggy tags, post it note holders, bookmarks and notepaper to name a few. I have some added to my website so pop on over and take a look....... 



I have also added some new Cottage Garden Threads to the website. So while you are there please check out the Threads page. They are gorgeous threads to work with. I also sell the hand dyed felts that Pam from Cottage Garden dyes and soon I will have her ric rac in stock as well.. Just waiting on the order to arrive......



This is my latest doll pattern. It is called Annie & Chooky. Both are freestanding as you insert dowel rods into the legs. The pattern is available for $10 + postage for a paper pattern or $7 for an e pattern. Just e mail me if you would like to buy one. I accept Pay Pal and Direct deposit for Aussie customers and Pay Pal for all international customers.





These are some more dolls I have just finished. I am about to start on the next batch....... Patterns for these little cuties will be available soon.

Just look under pages in the right hand side bar for Gracie and click to follow and download. The link to my Typepad blog is in the following section.

I have returned.....

Sorry about the long time between posts.... I have been very busy and then my computer crashed. I have been with out it for three weeks. My computer had to be reformatted so I lost a lot of information. I am slowly recovering it all.....

Hubby has been in hospital again... and will have to go in for another small operation next year as well...

As soon as I can get the rest of the things set up on my computer I will take some pics and show you all what we have been making......

I have lots of new fabric to sell... new patterns and lots of other fun stuff.
