More selections......

Another few hours with the fabric and we have these to add to our One of a Kind selections. Helena seems to be in her element on the floor, in front of the patio door to my balcony, playing with my stash.  Today was sunny and the selections she put together just glowed in the sunshine.












Just a reminder, that for a chance to win a one of my "One-of-a-Kind" selections, leave a message on my Wednesday's post. Draw will take place on Sunday 7th April.

Family Time


It's a wonderful thing when you get your three kids, their spouses, and all the grandchildren in the same place at the same time, and to boot.....a great photo of the 7 grands and my nearly 97 year old mum.

From the left, Caleb and Brynn my two French/Canadians, Mum with Lauren;  Jack with his sister Emily, and Josh and Elijah, Lauren's older brothers.

I couldn't get my kids and partners together for a photo,  maybe next time!




PS  Don't miss your chance at one of my special One of a Kind packages of fabrics.  I celebrated my 500th post last Wednesday.  If you leave a message on that post you'll be entered into the draw, to take place next Sunday 7th April.

Still chopping up fabric....

My sister Helena and I are in heaven with all the lovely fabrics.  She's visiting from NY to help take care of Mum who is now living with me.  

So while she has been here, pretty well since Boxing Day, we've been surrounded by my boxes and bins of fabric.  And I have to say we've done the odd shopping trip for even more fabric, just so we have a wider choice!!  
This is Mah Jong, Helena's latest one.  These one-of-kind special packages of fabric all have a name. You may see four ladies in their kimonos, or you may not!  

"Hummingbird" 

This and "Hummingbird" both recently sold in my Etsy shop.

She's working on "The Shah" here.  It's always fascinating to see what she creates with a few pieces of fabric.
Special Note

This is my 500th post!  

I'm going to have a draw to celebrate.  The prize will be one of our special one-of-a-kind packages.  The winner will choose from a list of "names"  still being compiled.

Just leave a comment and your name will go into the random draw.  Deadline to enter is Sunday 7th April, 5pm Eastern Standard time.
