It’s been a busy week – charms out the door for the Bonnie & Camille Aussie Charm Swap, crafting for a little boy who I’m pretending isn’t having a birthday this week, catching up on Project Life, and getting some cute letterpress notecards listed in the Etsy shop. How’s your week been?
Last night, when the baby was in bed and the big children were at their grandparents, I parked myself on the loungeroom floor with my BigShot.

On the work table today is a gorgeous table runner I am making for a friend, based on this tutorial from Blossom Heart Quilts. I am totally smitten with this fabric, and have a couple of projects for myself planned already. Last week, Skip shared her hexie travel project – complete with makeshift craft table – clever or clever? Have […]
