Robot Appliquéd Quilt Blocks ~ Prepping...

If you've been reading along on Facebook or Instagram, you'll have seen some of the robot blocks I'm working on. My youngest son has designed all nine robots, each one with a different job or occupation. The blocks are going to be incorporated into a single bed size quilt.

Drawstring Gift Bags...

The other day I showed you my latest Quilt As You Go Zippered pouch - a gift for a friend. As I so often do now, I wrapped the present in a drawstring gift bag.

Thumb Printing ~ a Simple Painting Activity...

The kids and I experimented with Thumb Print Art on the weekend. Even though paint is involved, it's a fun, kids' crafting activity, that requires minimal set up and the clean up takes next to no time.

Threading Your Way ~ Features...

This week's features - (all have been Pinned)... My apologies for taking so long to look at and leave comments on your posts. And... a month between feature posts - way too long. I'm back to regular posting now.

An amazing cubby house, added to the Softies, Dolls & Toys link party. It packs away when not in use and can be customised to fit any table...

Nelson Bay Holiday...

Back home today after a wonderful week's holiday in beautiful Nelson Bay, on the southern shores of Port Stephens. Only three hours north of Sydney, Port Stephens is an area we love and have visited many times.
