What I've been pinning Friday and more...

What's up?!? I've been a little lackadaisical (don't you just love that word!) these past few days, I think I needed a wee blog break after blogtoberfest, but I will not let this blog fall by the wayside as I've done in the past, oh no!

This week (wed) I did my folio presentation for the course I want to get into next year, not trying to get my hopes up but am a little excited!!! Not sure when I'll find out, there was something said about Nov 15th but still not 100% sure. Just keep you're fingies and toes crossed for me!

I've also been doing some crafty purchasing for myself over the good old interwebs, which I hope to get next week, what did you buy I hear you ask, well...

The first thing is the clover stack and store bobbin carrier, its a handy little thing and it bounces hehe.

The Rasant thread I am trying for the first time, getting a black and white, I'm a gutterman girl, always have
been but I've been hearing good things about rasant it's supposed to be as good as or even better than gutterman and also fair bit cheaper too! Will let you know how I go.

The third thing form four frogs on a log is a bodkin, used to thread elastics, ribbons etc easily around casings.

BIG W fabrics!

I quickly took some pics of the fabrics I picked up from Big W, some really cute ones and they are about $3 for the FQ and $6 for the remnants. The remnants are top right and 2nd row left.

My Melly and Me book still hasn't arrived :( It will be two weeks on wed so am going to continue to stalk the letterbox! Can't wait!

TSS traveling doll UPDATE!

There are some new photo's of the dollies first stop over on the TSS blog! Check it out here. I am hoping to meet this wee dolly this sat YAY!

Here's a sneak peak!

In other craft news I am stalking the mail box this week as I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Melly and Me's new book, Sewn Toy Tails! I was luck to met Missy Melly herself at the recent Daylsford Crafters Retreat and she is just so lovely and very talented! It's coming from the UK and was orders over a week ago so I am hoping it arrives this week, fingers crossed! I've had a look through it and fell in love with all the little creatures Melly has created.

I have to let you in on a secret, maybe I shouldn't maybe I should keep it to my self.... ahhh what the heck, it's not like anyone reads this new little blog or anything...


OK my secret is one of a unlikly place where some very cute (and inexpensive) 100% cotton can be purchased. OK ready, wait for it...It's BIG W! The next time you've popped in head over to the haberdashery dept, there are little rolls of FQ as well as remnants usually just over a mt of the cutest fabrics! There isn't a large selection but I never walk out with less than 4 FQ's when I rummage through. Check it out.
