Flamin' blogger... and Cupboard Love etc

Blogger's "Add Image" is driving me NUTS!!!!

Does anyone else have trouble getting their Photos to load??

Its not that they won't load. It just takes so flippin' LONG!

Its a bit like that Pantene Ad. The one where they say,

'it won't happen overnight, but it will happen'.

Its taking up to 5 minutes to load ONE photo. If I try to load 5 images its around 35mins.

(this has become the norm and frankly, I'd rather watch paint dry)

Boo Hoo

:o(

Alright, enough sulking... on with the post!

Ooo, speaking of Post. I've just come back from the Post Office. It was such a buzz posting off a little parcel to Virgina US. Yay!

I've been sorting through some sewing room stuff lately and found a few things I'd forgotten about. These fabrics were found in a box that I hadn't even opened since moving almost 3 yrs ago. A basket of newly discovered sweeties

The best kind of 'greens' (actually I like the vegie kind too)

Dear little vintage bunnies

and vintage 'dapple grey'.

(This fabric is a bit like cheescloth -very sweet - not sure what to do with it though)

~ Some treasure's I've picked up over the last few weeks.

Salt Box

Basket

More Baskets - Yep, its official, I'm a basket case :-)

Buttons - these caught my eye 'cos they say 'stitches'

and I needed some more for my collection!

Far too long... and ...my shabby little loo!

Well, its been far too long between posts. I just get so caught up reading about what everyone else has been doing, and so over-awed by how talented you all are, that I just don't seem to get around to posting - slack I know, but there you have it - I'm SLACK!

Life has been mad, sad, good, bad, up, down, fun, boring, sleep deprvied... I could go on, but you get the picture... life has been... normal!

Have stitched very little, have sewn quite a bit, have aquired a few yummy things, and met some GREAT people at the Quilted Crow Gathering!

One of the things I've been working on lately: My Shabby Little Loo

before...

during...

after...

and these...

new curtains for the loo

toilet spray cover

and cute Tilda style heart from my favourite book

The pretty rose fabric, used in all the above projects, is actually some cotton teatowels I picked up at Kmart for 50cents each - gotta love a bargain! Wish I'd got a few more :-(

Ribbon and ric-rac is from my stash (is it possible to have too much ric-rac? I think NOT!), lace from years ago!

Bought these yummy fabrics on the weekend.

The top 3 came from Cranberry Craft in Ulverstone, the bottom 4 from Wells' in Latrobe.

Mmmmm... ...fabric!

Found a nice new blog too. Pop on by and say "Hi" to Chris @ shoestringchateau.blogspot.com/
