Heat Hogs!

Just had to share this image of the Heat Hogs!

Life is a warmth and love for these three

Great Tale!

Remember this latest member of the family, now almost one and rules the roost!

Geraldine the breeder has written a wonderful tale about her mum Suzee

"The true story -though with frequent flights of fancy- of the friendship between Suzee - the Jack Russel Terrier and Magoh Magee -the Australian Magpie."

Cards!

I have been reinspired to make cards again by the lovely Robin and Leonie after attending Stampin Up classes with them. Thanks ladies!

This first card was from Leonie's class and is for my sisters birthday

Love the leaves and top note Sizzix plates with the Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder

This one is for Mum

One for Sheena with the Cuttlebug embossing folders

And an engagement card using the Cuttlebug

Shaking Morning!!

Just a quick blog to say we have survived the shake this morning. 

Rather nasty way to start the day!

Most of the damage was to buildings in Burt Street and one street back towards Kalgoorlie

Twice in a month!

Long weekend here in WA but at the computer working!

Managed to find the photos of the handbag I made between Christmas and New Year with the pattern and fabric a friend gave me for my birthday.  Love the pattern and the result!

Made another one (left), another bag, note book cover and book mark with the music note fabric as a thank you gift.

Eventually got my stitchery made for a bloging buddy in New Zealand - Carole.  Cannot wait to see the finished quilt with all the stitcheries.

Oh Dear!!!

I see I have not posted for four months!  A lot has happened in that time and the blog is last on the list. 
I have a new computer too and went to post the other day to find I had to load PISCA to put pictures on the blog.

Not alot of craft has been done recently. 

I did purchase a Cuttlebug machine a while ago and just love the background effects with the embossing folders.  I also purchased a large number of Spellbinder Die cutters and have been looking for a way to store them.  I have settled on the following:

Thanks to the lovely Marg at Country Papercraft for the CD tins and ordering me some larger tins too.  I would be lost with out you Marg!

Easy to store away

Some of the cards I have made with the folders and dies.

Quick Post

My three Jack Russell's.

The two yougesters play well together, all supervised by Blaze

Having a puppy does make life interesting! Missing shoes, teeth marks, puddles strange things on the carpet etc. Keeps you on your toes!

Being doing a bit of sewing in between making red inchies for our swap this week.
Bag I have made using left over strips I found in the scrap box with a denim bottom.
I was looking for fabric to cut into 2 inch square to make some fabric baskets, found a heap of strips all about the same lenght and decided to join them together and try out another bag pattern I found for size.
