yup- its my meme!

and I am yet to cut out my skirt....

Tonight!  I promise!

I just see that fabric sitting over there, and I feel kind of scared to bite into it!

Tonight there will be no WiiFit, there will be no cooking, and providing the little ones settle in their beds I WILL CUT OUT THIS SKIRT!!

Just a reminder for you all that next week we will start displaying our creations... so if you are like me and have not cut anything out... well you know what you need to do!

Also next Friday I will be drawing the winner of the blog giveaway too, so if you havnt entered, please feel free!

The fabric designer Amy Butler has a new range titled LOVE, and really... I LOVE it!

This turned up on my door step on Monday (along with the orange and turquoise above)

Isnt it just beautiful!

now what to do with it?

43C today!

It was 43C here yesterday, got to 32 overnight then back up into the high 30's today.  So you can imagine the kids when it started raining.

They were actually running around and dancing in the rain, they were so relieved to finally feel some cold!
