hi all, just completed a little boy's cot quilt. Cute fabric.
I top-stitched the flowers and the trees.

A baby pillowcase to match and my label....

Update on the wedding...

Remember the wedding invite i posted a while ago... here are some pics of the wedding we attended. The wedding was awesome, being both traditional and modern. We wish Sharone and Andrew all the love; health and happiness, they deserve...





The oh-so yummy, beautiful cake...
The guests enjoyed the cake, in the beautiful gardens, whilst the wedding party had their photo sessions.

The cutest flower girl...

Our tables, decorated so prettily, we were seated at the Table of Kindness! Such a lovely idea, naming all the tables...

The ladies gifts... so precious.

Time flies...

HI all, time flies!! I've been down and out a bit, my right heel diagnosed with a boney spur, which has been quite painful, especially first thing in the mornings, when you get up and try to walk. No op's luckily though, i've got in-soles in my new Green-cross shoes, and i must admit, pain is so much better, except when i don't wear them!! i'm very grateful though, because the sewing part of the foot is not affected - yipeee, can you imagine!! Then i've been down and out with a terrible bout of sinusitis, but i'm back on track again. The good news is i did get a bit of sewing done inbetween.... below a tissue box cover (the smaller square version), and the fabric i used is from my favourite Moda, fig-collection. i only discovered that when i opened up a stash i'd been keeping for a while. This was a birthday presi for my lovely sister in law! My pic isn't so great, but i put a frill around the bottom, and top where the tissues come out, and then beaded around, with cream; orange; brown and green beads, like the colours of the fabric. Looked fairly pretty!!

allie-oops sweet happy life: Something For You, Something For Me

New project.... work in progress....

Yesterday was SA's Heritage day - We went to watch the ICC Champions Trophy, which is a cricket competition of 50 overs per side, between several country's, and yesterday SA played NZ, and SA WON - YEAH!!!! It was a lovely hot day - pity i didn't take some pics - i'll do so next time - i got a bright pink chest, not enough sunscreen on that spot!!! Anyway, it was a lovely relaxing day, and i did absolutely no housework or ironing or washing of any sort - Will have to catch up on the weekend. But i did do a quick bit of embroidery last night. These are supposed to be wheat sheaf's and so easy, i used lazy daisy stitch and stem stitch for the stems, but you will have to wait and see what the end product is!! which i doooo hope to finish this weekend. The Moda quilt is on the back burner again, because this idea struck me, and may make a nice Xmas presie. Have a fabulous weekend, and take care.

Bolster cushion

hi all, we received 2x of these LARGE bolster cushions from my mom. Ken loves them, because he enjoys lying on the couch or bed and reading with the help of such a big cushion. I don't know what they are stuffed with, but it's very comfortable. These were covered with a crocheted cover, but very old, so i took it off, and made a cream linen cover with an extra cover around the middle, so i don't have to wash it weekly. i got the idea of this cover from All people quilt, they have lots of nice ideas, go and have a look.....
