The Wonky K and the Loot Glorious Loot Grand Finale

I suddenly remembered yesterday morning that I hadn't organised a mothers day pressie for my mum, so a quick flick through the ever mounting stash, and I found that I still had some of this lovely kitchen themed fabric that I received from Ingrid, and insulbright from Liesl.

So I whipped up a quick potholder and quilted (very haphazardly) a very wonky K.


I hope she likes it!



Then yesterday afternoon, all of the lovely Thornbury Craft Bonanza ladies came over to visit.

Liesl arrived bearing Loot! This beautiful tealight candle housewarming pressie with a battery operated candle (perfect for me because then I can't burn the house down)!

There was a bit of sketching, cutting, collaging, sewing, quilting, brooch making, crochet... I think we ended up convering nearly every category of craft over the afternoon - all washed down with lovely crafty conversation and yummy food. There was also planning for our upcoming crafty weekend away at Sewjourn!

PS - I'm not sure who left behind an entire packet of unopened tim tams but thankyou!


Serena took Charles and Di off to their new home in her kitchen, where I'm sure they'll be very happy...

Now, I'm off to have a cup of tea and one of Liesl's leftover cupcakes...

I had such a good time! Your place is so comfy. And I am now an addict to your area, heading back to Spotlight Hoppers today for more cheap fabric dye, and a squiz at Werribee Plaza. I live the high life, don't I? Your newsagent has Sew Hip, the most coveted mag on the planet at the moment!! I'm now trying to cook a 1.4kg pork roast in an hr- wish me luck!

the pot holder looks great :D love the idea of a battery operated candle, no chance of setting the flat on fire (or myself :p)
