Craft Expo
This is where mum and I went yesterday. We both walked in and we were like, “*H)(&%*. This. Is. Heaven.” Only my mum doesn’t swear so her “*H)(&%*” was symbolic of the mind-blowing-ness of walking into heaven.
But seriously. We stood in the front door for way too long, just taking it all in.
This is how the day went: Stop at one stall and star at craft goodies and say “we’ll never get through them all at this rate, we need to just go throught them all the stalls and then come back to the ones we like best”, Stop at the very next stall, buying slightly over-priced craft goods, and say, “wwe’ll never get through them all at this rate, we need to just go throught them all the stalls and then come back to the ones we like best”. REPEAT.
We did get through all the stalls, some we loved more then others. We also did a bag challenge run by Bernina. We had the front flap of the bag and we had to use these scraps and create something on the front. We had to leave the ‘bernina’ logo uncovered. I thought mine was quite clever- incorporating the red bernina logo into the rainbow. Apparently no one else did though. 
These are some of the goodies I picked up too:
And my visual journal got a bit of a workout. I wasn’t copying down things I saw, but you know how it is when you’re around such inspiring places, you see one craft and think “oooh! That would go well with XYZ I wanted to make” or “That technique would be perfect on the Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt I’m making” etc. So yeah, I wrote down ideas and thoughts and brands that I wanted to look into a bit more at a later stage…
Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!
My Dad…
My dad has four children, and one wife. He’s my boss, and my protector ( I have a few of them!).
He’s smart, caring, and loving.
Here we are, from youngest to oldest. I know I’m a few days late, but Happy Father’s Day!
Gardening & Birthdays…
Did you know I’m part of an apron swap? We’re making garden aprons! I am nearly finished mine- I’ve got the basic apron shape done and just have to put on some ties, and some pockets! I was thinking about it today, and was therefore inspired to go out and do a bit in my own garden!
Remember when Luke made me my super pot? Well, since then I’ve planted up all my other herbs into tyres (as well as some in the pot Luke made), and straberries and what not in the back garden bed. Nanna gave me a stack of beautiful cane mulch for Christmas (I know, SHAME it has taken my nearly 6 months to do something with it!!), and while Luke is out shopping for my birthday presents (!!!) with Hay & Mon, I decided to invest the time is getting rid of weeds, and using up the much!
Also, it is my birthday on Wednesday, and Luke organised for my family and a few of our friends (unfortunately not all- it was pretty booked out) to go down to the Jazz club in Brisbane on Friday night. If you have not been (and live in QLD) then you MUST go, it is absolutely the best place ever!
And I love my Mum & Dad. They are so cute and in love, and it makes me happy to go out with them. I could seriously just chat with them for ages and not get bored.
