I’m Australian and we don’t have Thanksgiving, tomorrow is American Thanksgiving, Friday is Japanese Thanksgiving. Tomorrow is my international mums’ playgroup Thanksgiving lunch and I’m on the decorating commitee… Well, me and the mum whose house we’re crashing at! Which of course requires something handmade to compliment the Daiso (100 yen store) decorations. And of course Kristy at Quiet Play… Read More

T-minus 50 Days!
I can, yet cannot, believe there’s only 50 days left in the year! Today is actually our 6 month anniversary of moving to Japan, which seems a little surreal! So, 50 days ago I listed/predicted/hoped: Finish my sister’s gender neutral cot quilt – they’re not finding out what they’re having, so therefore: My sister’s girly pram quilt – finalise design… Read More
Sew WIP Me Up Something Seasonal!
I am making all 25 of the Sew Seasonal patterns. So far, I’ve made 4… I’m way behind schedule to get this done for revealing for the Sew Seasonal linky at the end of November and I blame the kids for making me too tired and frazzled to sew during naptime lately! That and it’s so cold at night… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Bits and BOMS
After a crazy few days finishing up a pattern and the cover quilt, it’s been a quieter week to let my sewjo recover and restore to usual levels. I finished block 4 of the FQS Designer BOM, and the next one should be arriving next week. I’ve started cutting for October’s HST BOM. What should I be doing? Working on… Read More
A Lazy Afternoon
It’s a beautiful autumn afternoon here – the sun is shining through my sewing room window, toasting up my cold little tootsies as I do a little bit of this and a little bit of that. The usual case of I-have-things-I-should-be-doing-but-don’t-want-to-now. Instead, I started a paper piecing project (block 1 of 13), made my son’s Halloween costume (made being a… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Fourth Quarter FAL
So, pulling from my 100 Day Hustle list, there are a few that qualify for the 4th quarter FAL! In no particular order… – My sister’s girly pram quilt – I’ve finalised the design and am using my precious Art Gallery Fabric stash. – My sister’s boy-ey pram quilt – Got the fabrics, got a design, gotta make time! –… Read More
Tension Tension
Last night I finally sat down and made a start on quilting my Sweet Treats Blog Hop project and decided to be brave and try something new. Except I had more tension problems in those few hours than I normally do in weeks. Add that to the fact that the quilting pattern I was using required a lot of stopping… Read More
Sayonara September and Welcome to Oktoberfest!
Hooley dooley, it’s October. That means it’s almost 1 month until my son turns 3, almost 2 months until our first guests arrive, and 2.5 months until Christmas. It also means that the third quarter FAL is done and it’s time for Fresh Sewing Day, and all that kind of end-of-the-month-recaps and new-month’s-plans business. For my Third Quarter FAL, I… Read More
WIP Wednesday: BOMs Away September Update!
I’ve been busy catching up on the In Color Order HST BOM (in between making my HST BOF blocks – yes, it gets a little confusing…) and the Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer BOM. August’s HST BOM, with which I cheated and pieced the hourglass blocks individually instead of in rows to get those points nice and neat: September’s HST BOM:… Read More
