Seed Thief...and a little progress :)

Participating in challenges can be great for so many reasons...they can get you out of your comfort zone, get you using up supplies that you might have forgotten about, or get you to try a technique that you normally wouldn't. They can also remind you to record a story that you might otherwise have forgotten, which is what happened to me this week.

It is Leah's turn to set the challenge this week at Scrapsidaisy, and the challenge is quite simply a word..."animal". We've been looking after Merryn's class budgie over the school holidays, and he is quite a chirpy little bird...so I instantly thought of him, and a funny little story that my DH told me quite a while ago about Merryn and Bluey.


If you click on the picture, you should be able to read it :) I hadn't recorded this story anywhere, but it makes me laugh every time I think of it.

I used paper from Cosmo Cricket Delovely and Crate Paper Lillian, as well as the diecuts from the Lillian collection which complemented my story perfectly. Thanks for the challenge Leah!
I've also been working on my Gardeners Journal Stitch-A-Long quilt...

Just a little (actually, quite a bit of) hand-stitching to go, and I can move on to the next block...woohoooo!
Here's to a great weekend...
