Happy Australia Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a quiet week here in my house as two of my boys have been away to the beach with cousins.

My craft room is well set up with air conditioning and a tv for watching the Australian Open. I get addicted to the tennis every year and I can get so much sewing done while watching.
Cute Little Shorts for two little twin boys!
I have nearly finished hand quilting a quilt, been working on some samples for the upcoming Melbourne Stitches & Craft Show where Louise and I will be doing some workshops especially for children. I also started and finished two orders for customers which I think turned out quite well. These are the pictures.
Bloomers

All in all it has been a good week and I feel great that I can cross some of my projects off the list. Now I can begin some new ones without that guilty feeling!Little applique bib


Happy Australia Day to all Australians living all over the world! I am off to make some Lamingtons!!!!!!!!! You can find a good recipe here.

Gorgeous work. Yes, a tv in the studio is as much a sidetracker as blogs!
I'd love to know what the name of the white background truck fabric...

The little clothes are so sweet, and that floral fabric is gorgeous! Do you know the name of it, and do you know of anywhere that I could by it and have it shipped to the uk?

Oh, I am sooooo jealous of you having aircon in your studio!!!!! My studio is the hottest room in our house so needless to say I am not doing a stitch this week - it is just SOOOOOOO hot! I think I will have to invest in some for the studio this year!!! Your lamingtons look lovely!! Good on you baking them instead of grabbing a pack, you are much better than me =]

VERY cute bibby - I have a TV in my sewing room too, and it's great late at night when everyone has gone to bed and I am up sewing.
