One Chilly Saturday....

Saturday was the annual Stitching in July at Deloraine. Despite the weather outside, the hall was nice and warm and it was a great day.

Some of the girls I spend my Thursday nights with.

Meredith, Giselle, Myself, Sue and Mum.

It was great getting to meet Sarah and Christine some fellow Tassie bloggers.

I loved this little Christmas Stocking. I bought the Viv Robinson pattern on the day.

.HATCHED AND PATCHED.

I have now finished a grand total of 4 of these Annie Downs stitcheries. I have almost finished my 5th.

Happy Stitching

Love Alex

Welcome To The Dark Side.

Tonight I got a brand new haircut. YAY. Yes I am a bit sad. I now have dark brown hair, with 2 purple chunks and a full fringe. I love it!

The purple.

The fringe! I had this haircut in grade 8 and wasnt that fond of it. I thinks it suits me better now and I love it, so does my hairdresser Priscilla and Mum.

Happy Stitching

Love Alex

Other Things.

On Saturday this weekend Mum, Leanne and I went to Cyber Stitching Day at Esme's.

We had a fun day, stitching and chatting. We went to Peckish for lunch, which was yummy.We got a great goody bag filled with frabic, cottons and patterns. I also won a Hugs 'n Kisses Boobie Button as my lucky door prize.

Some of the things from the goodie bag and my Boobie Button.

I have also started the new Anni Downs quilt Hatched and Pathed. I have finished one stitchery and the words on the other stitcheries.

Happy Stitching

Love Alex

Quilt.

I have not posted a blog for a long time but I finally have something to share. For a long time I have been working on True Friends Tempters Stitcheries by Helen Stubbings from

Hugs 'n Kisses.

Once I Finished all 9 stitcheries I decieded to make them into a quilt, using TiddlyWinks fabric.

I have now, with the help of my mum finished putting the quilt top together. Now it just has to be sent off to Esme's to be quilted.

Work in Progess...

7 About Me

I have been tagged by my mum for 7 random/weird/unusual things about me.......

1. I was talking in full sentences when i was 9 months old. According to my parents i have not shutup since!

2. I talk and walk in my sleep. I have conversations with my mum late at night and have no memory of them. I also get up and go exploring and get myself stuck in hotel fire escapes.....

3. I hate coffee but love Farmers Union Iced Coffee.

4.I dont like P.Js.... I always sleep in the top i was wearing during the day.

5. I much prefer being with my mums friends to my own, dont get me wrong I love my friends but I have much more fun at stitching night than going out with friends.

6. I dont fit in my family. I am not quite old enough to be one of the "Big People". My cousins are all under 11 so being 16 i dont fit with the "Little Ones" either.

7. I find writing about my self really hard. I hate writing about me things or answering questions about myself.

But if you want to know how amazing I am, just ask my mum she will tell you.

Happy Blogging.

Hugs and Kisses!

After Months I have finally finished my Hugs and Kisses stitcheries.

Mum and I bought the packs on one of our trips to Esmes.

I fell in love with the stitcheries and the fabric.

The Lesson of love is that you learn to love yourself.

True Friends love you for who you are.

True Friends share your thought and dreams.
