What happened? 






I hope 2010 provides you with new and exciting experiences, and the heady rush you get from twirling too much.
What happened? 






The felt came from the Steiner store in Kew - lovely wool stuff of course in the most gorgeous colours.

If you'd like to meet up with other crafty bloggers, many of whom you may already 'know' from comments left on each others blogs, then come along and create, chat and share a meal.
I don't think the drinks with sewing above (see the machine hiding in there among the bottles and glasses!) are quite what Sheridan had in mind, but it should be lots of fun.
Joseph had me stumped for a while as I wanted he and Mary to look a little less 'polished' than the kings and nothing seemed quite right for a while.
a golden chalice;
and a gold pouch.

The present making has been set aside while I tackle the Christmas dresses.
They are super-quick to make and very inexpensive but I think will be well-loved.
I was hoping to show them blowing in the wind - but there wasn't any, so I will leave you with this scungy photo!
I figure the elaborate dancing concerts that take place on our deck will be that little bit safer with these, rather than the traditional 'twirling' ribbons they have been using.
A series of pointy sticks and two twirling three-year-olds along with a toddler is not my idea of safety at its best!

I even managed to steal away for a minute or two and check out a few of the stalls, and make a little purchase just for me (for a change!).
Given my well known addiction to all-things-babushka there was no way this little lady was not coming home with me.
I've been looking for a brooch to wear with this plain white shirt and my new little friend is perfect.
She was made by Sarah - check out her blog for details of the market she will be at in Carlton this Monday.
Thanks Sarah - she's just what I needed, and my girls are already eyeing her off!
