Nigella the 2nd (I wish)

My girlies love home baked treats, sadly when I do

bake them, its like they INHALE the goodies

and they are gone.

Its raining here today so I have gone on a baking

binge,

rock buns, my grandmas recipe and my daddy's favourite

chocolate crunch, Mrs Prosser taught me to make this in

cooking in grade 7 (28 years ago)

and Fudgy Brownies a recipe in the Herald Sun last week

if they inhale this lot, I won't be happy ;)

not very weightloss friendly but bugger it

you only live once

I found and ordered some 1930's charm squares

this morning at The Fabric Patch  

I think they will work well and what was even better was

I didn't have to pay for it  Webby did :)

Mum starts her treatment today Chemo and Radiation

fingers crossed for her that its a good outcome after her

treatment is finished.

I managed to get February's SAL blocks appliqued last night

after lunch I am going to sit down in front of the tv, catch up

on what I recorded while I was away and do the feature stitching

then prep some more blocks and see if I can get a little bit ahead

I am a bit over sew, laugh, love I will save whats left for my next trip

away which is supposed to be a camping trip over Easter

(but we might be moving house instead, fingers crossed please,

no not home to Tassie but to the House on the Hill

aka The Harbour Masters Cottage, ocean views, a HUGE HUGE

block with plenty of room for a new cottage garden, chickens,

the kids and the dog)

Photo Overload

with lots of yummy goodies I managed to buy

while I was away oops

First up is Gail Pan's Homecoming Lane

I wanted this as soon as Gail started showing sneak peaks

on Facebook

I got the patterns and fabric kit from the always

gorgeous Pauline at Calico Crossroads

Then is Ulverstone I found this yummy pattern and templates

and these were in my stash, I sorted them all out as part of

the friday night sew in that was on :)

plus the right amount of background fabric  means I am starting to

cut out templates today

This delicious pattern was at Esmes, and it was

half price

One of Anni's latest designs from Ulverstone

2 fat quarters for my stitch a long quilt

and this was waiting for me when I got home

and progress on the stitchery I took away with me

I did a very small amount last  night for the Friday night Sew in

and its bloody nice to be home and sleeping in my bed again

my life would be fabulous if  Henrycat would talk to me, he has

ignored me since I walked in the front door!
