Thoroughly Spoilt

This past week I've been thoroughly spoilt!!

I was given "Style Stitches" by Amy Butler from my wonderful parents for my birthday. I can't wait to make some of the bags ...

.My Nana gave me a bit of money which I put towards this Bliss layer cake .....

One of my sisters Rebecca sent me this cute pink journal - the leather is so soft and aren't those little black dress cards so adorable ....

My husband suffered a trip to a quilting shop with me so I could pick up some of these Kaffe Fassett prints ......

Don't they look good with my other Kaffe prints?

I find quilts only made from Kaffe prints can sometimes be a bit too overwhelming for me, but for this quilt I am planning on there being a fair amount of neutral fabric too. I was thinking maybe this quilt pattern by Material Obsession - still deciding....

I also got some makeup from another sister Kelly and some chocolate and I'm so excited that my husband has organised for me to take a trip to Sydney in a few weeks to visit 3 of my sisters and to do some quilting with Kate ... YAY!!

I told you, thoroughly spoilt and very blessed!!

Happy Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE!!!

I hope you are having a wonderful day XOXO

Another Year Older ... & Giveaway Winners

Today is my birthday and so it's presents all around because it's also giveaway day too!!!

I have had a lovely day! Well I had to go to work ... surely there should be a law passed saying you don't have to work on your birthday. This evening my wonderful husband took me out to dinner and we really enjoyed chatting and being together and the food was good too. It's also been nice catching up with family over the phone. I didn't bake a cake because it's just the 2 of us and my husband isn't a sweet tooth, but don't worry I still had cake.




And now for the all important giveaway "presents". The winners are ..... (drum roll) ......

1st we have no 27 Missie from Crimson Lily

2nd we have no 29 Jennifer from That Girl ... That Quilt

Unfortunately I have not yet worked out how to cut and paste the random number generator thingy, so you will just have to trust me :)


Congratulations to both of you, please email me your address and I'll get your winnings off to you ASAP.


Oh, and you know how I mentioned that "I'm not the luckiest person when it comes to winning giveaways", well not true anymore ... I'll tell you about it very soon :)
