I don't know about you all, but I love playing along with Kirsty's 'My Creative Space'. I love it because I don't really have anyone to show my crafty pursuits to as my husband gets really bored with it and just say's ' that looks good darls' after he is prompted. Same comment every time, ho hum.......
Anyway, I have decided to do more patchwork quilting and combine my love of stitching with it. I have about 4 projects on the go at the moment and have the biggest stash of fabric to get through. I am looking forward to heaps of craftiness in 2010.
My pics here include:
- the little quilt I am currently working on. This has now been pieced together and I have added some stitched hearts. I will add a pic when it is finished.
- My little snacks I had to have while I was sewing - this helps to keep the creative juices flowing!!!!
- My new sewing machine. We are still getting to know each other but we are off to a good start.
- The last pic is of all of my christmas presents. My stash is so full and I have so many projects in the wings.
If you want to play along, go HERE.
Craft is the best!

Yay, I love playing along with this when I have the time. Thanks to Punky & Me for hosting it this year.
And another Yay, what a good way to get back into blogging for the year. I have big plans.
Anyhow, I am currently reading Gerald Durrell's 'My Family and Other Animals'. I have decided to read more this year and always seem to struggle on what to pick to read, so I have joined in on Pip Lincolne's book club. If you are interested go HERE.
Happy reading.

Hi Everyone,
Well I can't say that I am a prolific blogger but I will be taking a break from blogland until after Xmas. Hopefully I will be fully revitalised after our holiday at the beach. Fingers crossed anyway!
I survived my week in Millmerrin last week. It was really really really hot and I did really long days. I was so glad to be home again. I am glad to say Ella survived quite nicely without me and her father was really glad to see me back again. I think he had forgotten how much needed to be done for a little one. Ha ha I say!!! I can't believe (well I can really as I am quite forgetful at times) that I forgot my camera, so no pics of my trip. I did take some with my phone but as I am technically challenged, I haven't worked out how to get them off yet wiht the Bluetooth. I will keep on trying.
On the weekend my beautiful little girl turned into feral girl and threw some of the most impressive temper tantrums I have seen. Very impressive.
I am trying to spring clean the house and keep on top of the washing. I am determined that I will arrive back from holidays to a pristine (ha ha ha, like that will ever happen) house. Today is scrubbing the bathroom from top to bottom and washing, tomorrow is dusting and vacuuming and putting away the washing. Friday is Xmas lunch with my boss and Ella's daycare Xmas party. Saturday is cleaning out the fridge, washing and packing. Sunday is finish off the packing and Monday is YIPEEEEE going away day.
So I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and I will be catching up with all the blogland news when I get back in 3 weeks time. Aso, I know I was supposed to have a giveaway this week but I has just not been organised enough to get it happening so I think I will think about it while I am on holiday and start the new your off with a giveaway. Top idea I reckon.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Keep safe and well over the holiday.
Bye
Love from
Lis

I was just reading Gemma Joy's tip for putting pics in your blog quickly and easily so I thought I would give it a try. Yay it works. Thanks so much for the tip Gemma.
Here is my demonstration that it worked for me. I don't know whose pic this is but I really liked it - I have a thing about hearts at the moment.
Talks to you soon - I will be having a pre-christmas giveaway - just as soon as I get back to civilisation!!!

I am soooo excited. Yesterday I delivered the first batch of my stitchery patterns, kits and deluxe kits to the Handmade Heaven. So I have officially launched my little business, Sunny Street Designs. I am excited, but also very scared as well. I really hope I get at least 1 sale, LOL. I won't be listing my products anywhere until after Christmas as I have just run out of time. So next year, Etsy here I come!
I will be running a give away next week but I need to think about what will be in it......mmmmmm I have some ideas........
I am off to Millmerrin (think that is how you spell it) for work next week. So it will be the first time away from my little girl and I am seriously stressed. Aggghhhh. I am just focusing on the weekend after and my Christmas holidays.
See ya later
