It's raining, it's pouring...

...and has been pretty much all weekend here in Perth. While it's not so great for getting out and about as we had planned, it is peeeerrrrrfect for snuggling in and making the most of the chill.

I spent yesterday afternoon in the kitchen, baking cupcakes and zucchini slice and jam drops and chocolate fudge brownies.....yuuuuummmm. The smell was so enticing...and I wasn't quick enough to take photos to show you :)

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time just touching my new fabrics that I bought at the Craft Fair...


...there is something delicious about pre-cut fabric, being able to see every single fabric and colourway in the range. I bought a charm pack, and while I have no idea what I am going to make with such small pieces of fabric, it really doesn't matter. Just touching them is making me happy :)

I have scrapped a little...


...and a double LO, no less :) Doubles take me such a long time to pull together. This one has been sitting on my desk for days...which could have more to do with all these handcut Christmas lights than the fact that it's a double...

What was I thinking? I really don't like hand-cutting anything! Anyhoo, it's done now, and that's a few less photos in my huge stack. The papers are from the Snowflakes and Mittens range by Rusty Pickle, and I've used my Martha Stewart Swirly Punch again...love that punch!

I can't believe you hand cut all those lights! They all look so perfect. I nearly bought a Martha punch yesterday after seeing your lovely borders. Your new fabric looks sweet - I am sure you will find the perfect project for it!

Definitley worth hand cutting those lights they look gorgeous. Is that a charm pack-not a jelly roll or all of the other funny names they have now. You forgot to mention that purchase in your quilt show post.
