Beiber Fever

Just thought I would share this with you. I giggled when I seen it - hope it makes you smile aswell.

My youngest, Ethan - who is nearly 8, has become a little obsessed with Justin Bieber. It all started with the girl next door - she's 10. As we all know 10 year old girls these days have a serious case of Bieber Fever. I'm afraid Ethan caught it.


Anyway - moving forward - Ethan drew this the other morning - he's quite the artist isn't he?
Its Justin Beiber!

Look what I made. My very first quilt. It took nearly all day (in between a 2 hour nanny nap) and housework - but I got it done and I am pretty pleased.


Next on my list is a Noddy and Friends quilt - isn't it funny what fabric you find in the bottom of your fabric collection box?

You know those days you have when your so excited to do all the jobs on your list and then you have the rest of the day, or the next day to just 'chill'?

Well, that was my last Sunday. I did all the housework (and a little bit extra) I had it all planned. Went to get my sewing machine and ready to sew the patterns that I spent 2 hours cutting out, only to find that the bobbin case of my machine is gone. Not 100% sure what happened to it, or where it has gone - but I am pretty sure a little 6 year old - that happens to live in my house has something to do with it. So sewing for me is out at the moment, which is a shame because I bought an awesome Smurf sheet set that I wanted to make into a quilt for the new addition. Not to worry - I just have to get down to the sewing store and see if they sell a bobbin case for my machine - either that, or wait until July for my 30th birthday and fingers crossed a new sewing machine is coming my way.





In the mean time - without my trusty machine - I've been doing my UFP (Un-finished Projects) - we all have UFP don't we? This is one of my UFP - as you may or may not know, my sister is obsessed with snails - pretty sure she's happy with the outcome. I've also made some more owls aswell. Who doesn't love owls and snails - perfect for the garden I say.





I am hoping to get one or 2 market stalls in before the end of June aswell. Which is something else I'm looking forward to. Gezz, so many plans, so little time but heaps of ideas - how on earth do we do it?

My Oh My - it been a LONG while

I have been extremely slack with - well, pretty much everything really. As all the mums out there know January and the start of a new school year is a crazy time. With that goes P&C commitments, add to that hospital appointments every fortnight, the boys footy training, a small social life, family time before baby number 3 comes along and then try to fit in some 'me time' life can get pretty busy.

So this is the plan - stop doing whatever the hell I am doing and start focusing on Kazza's Happiness. I have until June (thats the due date) I miss sitting in at my dining room table cutting and tracing on fabric. Lets face it, I am not lacking in fabric by any means. I also miss blogging and updating all my goodness on Facebook - I love knowing that someone out there loves what I have made and loves it so much that they want to buy it. So that's it - I'm back to the lovely Square One...which I am excited about.

In other news - The Happiness Family will be welcoming another boy into the family in June/July. Mr Happiness was a little sad that he wont be getting a daughter - but that lasted about a minute and is over the moon that another boy will enter the world. I couldn't be happier - I secretly wished for a boy. Due date is 7th July at the moment (the day before my 30th birthday) but I have my fingers crossed that our Caesar will the 29th June.
Until my next post - which will be very soon. Be good and never forget what you love doing!
