Ughh. Good thing we got a great house so that we never have to move again. So I have been filling some of the yard with vege patches and buying seeds off Etsy and have been mostly successful, just having trouble with lettuce and the herbs, which is sad because I had this wonderful dream of a gorgeous herb patch, will try again with my remaining precious seeds :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Dinner looked so good I thought I would just add that photo in, chicken pie mmmmmmm. My last art quilt I made, tell me, does it look like there is a stain on it?????? And the chair in the corner of the photo is one I got on a free kerbside pickup where council comes and collects your rubbish, so two free chairs and then fabric from my stash!!!! This day of the dead fabric is to die for hahahaha sad I know, but I love how it looks on the chair and it is sooooo comfy. This will be the reading corner once I get it all sorted. We renovated the single a garage into a study and it took so long, so the house is only just getting back to normal. I will find a cute little table to put your book and drink and chocolate in.... Bliss :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Finally sorted out the paints and got them in a cupboard, I need to seek some of my art quilts to make room for more, and I finally have more space than the corner of the dining room wohoooo, and I sanded back the drawers and then glossed them, gorgeous aren't they!! Only had two of the rose handles hehehe will see what else I can find. Next post will be photos of the renovation, glad it is over :) and I will never make a living as a painter :) won't be showing you those mistakes :)</div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div>Jane http://www.blogger.com/profile/18190306535477045301noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483299437740013129.post-43834397410506692852015-05-01T21:54:00.001-07:002015-05-01T21:54:11.409-07:00Never any time!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VsLziA7UUtc/VURYQlmpvKI/AAAAAAAADPg/b7oHUsl0Fts/s640/blogger-image--1449094298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VsLziA7UUtc/VURYQlmpvKI/AAAAAAAADPg/b7oHUsl0Fts/s640/blogger-image--1449094298.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kOUQES_yfhY/VURYZGc1UXI/AAAAAAAADP4/_xSLX3GbcMU/s640/blogger-image-927655807.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kOUQES_yfhY/VURYZGc1UXI/AAAAAAAADP4/_xSLX3GbcMU/s640/blogger-image-927655807.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PXKHkBMlz4E/VURYTVbfekI/AAAAAAAADPo/P_mzTur5UzY/s640/blogger-image--753381768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PXKHkBMlz4E/VURYTVbfekI/AAAAAAAADPo/P_mzTur5UzY/s640/blogger-image--753381768.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AkrSP5XMOMc/VURYcQVCM_I/AAAAAAAADQA/ddV8-4flwFY/s640/blogger-image-1896596949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AkrSP5XMOMc/VURYcQVCM_I/AAAAAAAADQA/ddV8-4flwFY/s640/blogger-image-1896596949.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lmAfnqaqhdQ/VURYWf04zzI/AAAAAAAADPw/8FTlyGxWECM/s640/blogger-image--1762297600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lmAfnqaqhdQ/VURYWf04zzI/AAAAAAAADPw/8FTlyGxWECM/s640/blogger-image--1762297600.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div>Well I am slowly getting there in my scribble design :) I used a gorgeous #30 weight thread for some of the design, but I don't have a 100" needle and it just tore up the thread!

Now I can keep going on my next project, tree mosaic thingy :) lots of colour and lots of blending hopefully :) If it all works out.<br />
<br />
Bought another ebook! I was such a staunch real book person, but it is so cool to have a book on my ipad and I don't have to wait for it to come out in Australia :) It's a Ben Elton book called Time and Time again. It's about.... time travel :) and I am totally absorbed :) Need to get audio books so I can listen AND paint, bliss :)<br />
<br />
It's rained here, which is great for the drought, but not great for our plans to go to <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attraction_Review-g499670-d590781-Reviews-Kondalilla_Falls-Maleny_Sunshine_Coast_Queensland.html" target="_blank">Kondalilla Falls</a>, oh well another time. It is so gorgeous up there. More time to paint at least.<br />

Yes, sure I can do that!! Easy...... :)<br />
<br />
So I went and found a free pattern on the net from<a href="http://pinoyinoz.blogspot.com.au/2008/07/tutorial-city-backpack.html" target="_blank"> here</a>. It was a great pattern and real easy to make.<br />

But it always feels like it never is truly finished. :). Once I finished the binding, I then spent two episodes of Warehouse 13 cutting off the threads of the back :) it was fun watching the episodes :).<br />
<br />
Have a look<br />

My son wants a quilt now with Wack Foo written on it :) It is a tv show the kids have discovered. I am not even sure if that is the right spelling :) will have to work on that :) So I know what I am doing next.</div>

Just had a big storm here and got a huge amount of rain in a real short time. It was so nice and now it is cool. It was so humid today, so the cool change is so nice. The only problem with the deluge is that is has flooded all the trains leaving the city and no one can get home. Bummer. </div>

Watching <a href="http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/life-below-zero/videos/winters-warning1/" target="_blank">Life Below Zero</a> at the moment, such a cool show. It would be fun to live in the wilds of alaska for a few weeks, but after that I would miss so much :) I would get a lot of quilting done :).</div>

I think that is a generous prize and I love this fabric!!! I mounted some of the fabric on canvas and made pillows and will make her a backpack out of it. With the leftovers :) I will make a quilt mmmmmmmmm cannot wait :). Have a look at the delectable goodies.....<br />
<br />
The girls are done by J Wecker Fisch and they are called Handmaids for Quilting treasures. Just gorgeous. The day of the dead fabric is byBaile de calaveras, which I think is the month ofmay and the date of the actual day of the dead which I can't remember :) De Leon design group for Alexander Henry, just stunning too, they have pictures of Frida on them as well. The butterfly design is by Tim Holtz! It is called Eclectic elements and butterflight, that is yummy edible fabric!!<br />

Well that was fun :) I convince myself that I have enough fabric and I don't need to buy any more :) then I see wonderful fabric like this and well, you want it allllll. The shop Voodoo Rabbit is amazing and I could have spent my savings in there :) and totally worth it too! :) I will be happy to play with the bundle for a while and make something cool out of it all.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, went up to Mount Cootha tonight and it was so gorgeous up there. I am a quilters pleasure on instgram where i posted a photo. You just want to live up there :) <br />
<br />
I have been reading a series of books on an English village written by Rebecca Shaw and they are cute and a good storyline. It's nice to read something without a lot of violence. When I read Lee Child, it is confronting and in your face. That is what is good about it, but it's nice to have a break from that :).<br />
<br />
Loving The 100 Still, great show and can't wait for each new episode. What are you enjoying watching?<br />

Well, not sure if anyone reads the blog, so I have stopped for a while :) Thought I might start up again and show my work in progress.<br />
<br />
I entered two quilts into the Queensland Quilt show and my daughter entered one too. I didn't win but my daughter won for secondary student category with her own designed quilt...<br />

And I got an email from the owner of a big craft store here in OZ and she wanted to put one of my quilts on her blog!! Have a look <a href="http://punchwithjudy.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/art-pictorial-quilts-at-brisbanes-craft.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It helped me feel better about no sales on my etsy store :) and not placing at the show. I love this art quilt and I am real happy with the quality of my machine work on this one.<br />
<br />
I have made a pieced quilt for the first time in years!!:) and I loved it and it isn't perfect but I am proud of how well I did :). Now I am doing the free motion and loving it. I would loooove a long arm still, especially when it takes me weeks and weeks to do the quilt when I know it would take a few days on a long arm. But that's life :).<br />
<br />
Have a look...<br />

I love the difference between the plain quilt and then the machine quilted part. You can see how much impact the machine quilting has and how it makes the quilt look so much better.</div>

Went to the craft fair and got a few things, it was so fun to shop for thread instead of just viewing it on the internet :) I wanted to see if I could find something new (to me) and see if it would work. And I did :) I went to one stall and found this...<br />
It is a sewslip mat and it is tacky on the underside so it sticks to the board and the top side is all slippery. It is fantastic... except that it is already curling at the edges and when that tacky underside hits the quilt it sticks and I am stuck!! It is real annoying. I have tried blue tack but that doesn't work too well. I don't want to sticky tape it down as when you go to sew normally it won't move. So I need to remove the mat at some point :).<br />

Now the ring is made by Sharon Schamber and is amazing!! I no longer have to pull the quilt through the machine, I can just use this metal ring to manoeuvre the quilt around. It is fantastic and I am glad I paid $30 for it. The only thing I would have liked is for it to be a larger circle, so that you don't have to stop so often to move the circle and then have that stop start point in the quilt. Otherwise, it is great.<br />
<br />

<br />
Houston quilt festival was just on and I love trawling the internet reading everyone's posts about the show and the quilts. I will go one day and spend a fortune :) and it will be so fun. I love seeing the photos of some of the quilts and just staring at them trying to work out how they did them!! That is cool. This was one that got me...<br />

I think all the quilts entered are amazing, and they all look so much better in person. All the machine work that has gone into the above quilt just can't be seen properly in this photo. I need to go :)<br />
<br />
I am having huge struggles with my machine!! the thread is breaking and it is skipping stitches. I have spent hours cleaning and changing needles and checking tension and threading on the machine. Now I have found a checklist and am going through that. I didn't pay very much for it, so it isn't worth servicing. I think a new sewing machine for christmas might be a great present :). Anyone got any great ideas on how to fix these problems ?:).<br />
<br />
Just tried some coconut and mango ice cream.... soooooooo good!! my fav flavour at the moment :)<br />

So when we aren't playing with this gorgeous puppy, I have been working on this...<br />
<br />
<br />
So I started with this one and then realised I had skipped a story, so I did the one before, ending up with two at once :)<br />
This one is obvious as to what is going on :) their dresses/pants show how happy they are and how free and excited they are.<br />

Well the school holidays are over, back to school tomorrow yeehaaaa :). They were quite enjoyable actually, we did lots of stuff together and I took each one out by themselves and did somethig special. It was very nice. Only yesterday with the two younger ones did it get mental !! ! First time in time out all holidays. pretty good really.<br />
Now I just need to get back into dieting. Holidays were tough on me for food. But it all tasted soooo good. :)<br />

So hard to put a big bed quilt through the domestic machine. Why can't I have $15,000 lying around doing nothing so I can buy a longarm????:)<br />
<br />
So I drew out my design for my next Felicity story and then realised I had jumped ahead in the story :) so I drew up the story before the one I started and am now painting them simultaneously :)<br />
<br />
It's been slow on Etsy and here..... not sure if anyone reads this thing :) I have started to get myself out there on instagram - aquilterspleasure, and I figured that maybe I might get more reads that way :).<br />
<br />
We also got a new member to our family......<br />

Had a real yucky week last week, think it might have been a bit hormonal! Wonderful things happen when you turn 40 :) I got pimples on my chin and greasy hair and serious mood swings!!. mmmmmmmmm Nice! I feel better this week thank goodness at least :) Still have greasy hair! What's the go with that?? Haven't changed my good shampoo so got no idea what's going on there.<br />
<br />
Well off to get the kids from school and take the oldest one to violin then come home and cook dinner. I am feeling really relaxed just thinking about it :).<br />

I love watching the march and love the feeling of Anzac day and how it helps us remember the men that gave their lives for us. My father has medals from his father and grandfather and it is wonderful to hear the stories that he tells passed down through the family. I am so proud of our children for getting up early and marching to support this day. Now we are relaxing and I am coming off a sugar splurge from eating the leftover cheesecake from my birthday :) so now I can feel the detox from the sugar already.<br />
Cravings are high and I want to eat anything!. It never ends. But I have lost weight so this is an incentive :).<br />
<br />
Went bushwalking last weekend, it didn't rain!! Amazing. It was so gorgeous up in the mountains and it makes me want to live up there, don't worry about the massive hours of commute to work or school or church hehehehe. The view was just incredible. At one point you can see the city!!!<br />

So off to read my fantastic book, it's the Maisie Dobbs series by Jaqueline Winspear and is the third in the series, trying to get them in order. Really enjoying the setting, 1920's and the strong, smart woman as the main character going it alone.<br />

So if you want rain, I will plan to go bush walking :) I am thinking positive thoughts that it will stop raining in about ten minutes, the sun will come out and it will all dry out till Tuesday morning :) Then it can rain. Alas, this does not look likely. Instead I will go shopping, bummer.<br />
<br />
We have school holidays at the moment and we were going to take the kids to the great barrier reef, but then we decided we want to go to the U.S so we are saving our money for that. So we have planned something for each day of the holidays. We have gone to the museum and the science centre, hmmm won't be doing the science centre again,<br />
<br />
Funny shots at the science centre :)<br />

Shopping with their allowance and bowling. We went to a helicopter show that was a bit of a fizzer but still cool to see the helicopters.<br />
<br />
So going for a bushwalk tomorrow is about the only day we can do it. You watch, it won't rain for the rest of the week :). Some farmer really needs this rain and I am whining :)<br />
<br />
I found a fantastic looking vintage shop the other day and so I am really looking forward to going back and having a look at the gorgeous goodies.<br />
<br />
I have done the painting on the Leaf.... not sure what to call it, maybe something with Mosaic in it.....<br />

Okay, so I went and made dinner in between, scrumptious enchiladas and potato bake mmmm and we were discussing cosplay and dressing up and I said that if I was hot I would be wonder woman and my son says " but mum wonder woman is skinny!" hahahahahahahahaha he just kept on playing on his computer :) soooooo funny :)<br />
<br />
Found a good author that I am enjoying, Hester Browne and have found some fun shows on Hulu. Rehab Addict is fun, it would be great to be able to use all sorts of tools and be gorgeous and skinny as well as do up houses to look amazing :) that is what I will be when I grow up.<br />
Tired, had sick kids and have been up all sorts of hours and times looking after them. Sleep.<br />

Her heart is stitched/healed together with time. I will take a close up shot so you can see it better. She has a nose too, you just can't see it due to my fantastic photographic skills.<br />

I decided to make something different instead of another Felicity design. I used a piece of fabric that I had dyed ages ago. It really makes me want to dye more fabric, but it is a bit tricky and expensive when it goes wrong :) I thought that I might try using my fabric paints and wet the fabric and see if that gives the same effect. I have so much paint so why not try it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This design is of a big leaf with mosiac type patterns inside each leaf. I am so in love with this orange. I haven't used it as I love it so much. I can't replicate it as I hand dyed of course. But there is no use to it sitting in my cupboard either. So this will get me to experiment with the paint. </div>

It has finally rained here and hasn't stopped for days. It has been very nice. Had to catch the bus to school for a couple of days due to the rain and the second mode of transport being a motorbike :) so the kids thought that was fun hehehe. The second day we arrived at the bus stop to Fire engines and the electricity truck, all the fuss was over a gorgeous Chevrolet classic 1950's car that had ploughed through a fence and hit the house. The car didn't look too bad, just sad to see such a gorgeous car damaged at all. Not sure about the house, poor owners. So that was more fun for the kids :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Going to do some cooking tomorrow, a baked cheesecake that sounds divine, from a Mrs Fields cookbook and some biscuits and a wicked chocolate cake. Yes I am still trying to lose weight :) I am still doing my extra exercise every week. This week was walking home from school. Took me a very brisk 45 minutes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Was going to go for a bush walk this weekend, but due to the rain, we will do that another time. Will take the kids to <a href="http://www.daisostore.com.au/" target="_blank">Daiso</a> instead and we need good church shoes and donuts :). That still sounds fun. Would rather bush walk, but the other idea is great too :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I need to work out whether I am going to do another Felicity and get all the idea's I have for her out on fabric or do another design I have.... I know, so important and complicated. My life is full of hard decisions.</div>

I am having so much fun doing these and it is nice and quick getting them out. I still want to put together a huge quilt with triangles all over and full of soft reds, pinks, greens and whites but the thought of how long I will spend on this quilt and time away from making more Felicity dreams stops me :) cloning would be handy wouldn't it?? I would make about three of me, one to clean and cook, one to make big quilts and the other to be a perfect mother. Bliss.<br />
<br />
I got my paints, so quick and they are divine!! Have a look at these gorgeous colours! And the gloss and shine to these paints are amazing! It doesn't come through the camera, you need to see them in person to see how yummy they are :) I will be spending all day tomorrow experimenting with these gorgeous paints.<br />

I actually did ramp it up on the exercise front this week and wohooooo I can see results already!! I know I am slimmer and I feel great that I did something I said I would do! :) it hurt real bad riding the bike but it was worth it :) will do another ramped up exercise week again and will have that great body by my birthday :)<br />
Just read another lovely Maeve Binchy book. They are great reads and so relaxing, need more of that :).<br />

Food is always involved hehehehe. So since I don't even have one tree in my yard, I will settle with flowers instead :) so I am starting to fill the garden sloooowly with flowers. I bought three terracotta pots and about ten different flowers and two bags of soil and it cost me $80, not too bad. I have tried to grow flowers from seed, but it has been so dry here lately that they didn't grow :(. I will try again now that it has rained just a little.<br />
<br />
Here are the gorgeous flower pots....<br />

I finally bought the most amazing fabric paint that I have wanted for so long!! I have a few colours already and have used all the gold and it is the best paint I have ever used. I am so excited to get these <a href="http://www.kraftkolour.net.au/paint/opulence-embellishment-ink.html" target="_blank">paints</a>. Have a look if you need some fabric paint :) soooo gorgeous, and I am very curious to see what the gold black looks like :) I bought some more wash away from Kraftkolour as well as it was half the price as any other place I have found it. And I got some thinner as paint gets thicker over time and I can just add some thinner and wohooo I can use the paint again. Getting so excited about the most mundane stuff :)<br />
<br />
Made some choc chip biscuits for the first time in moooonths!!! I have decided I am going to have to relax the diet just a little and up the exercise. I have been obessing over food this week and don't want to get too bad. Choc chip biscuits are a good start :) Next is choc chip hot cross buns hehehehe I am going to do my interval training twice in the morning and then throughout the day go for a killer bike ride up a huge hill in my area :) here comes a better body by my birthday :) dreams are good right??:)<br />

So I went to an eye specialist and I have dry eyes :). I do not have enough oils in my eyes. So the doctor pulls out a needle and say that he wants to squirt some salt water in my tear ducts!! I got a bit nervous and he said 'oh don't worry, it's a bendy needle'. Oh well that's okay then. Made me feel so much better. I wish :).<br />
<br />
So he inserted a needle into my tear duct!! Ughh, thankfully it didn't hurt too much, the yucky part was then he turned the needle once it was in my tear duct to get the right angle :) At least it was over very quickly and since this procedure my tear ducts have been so much better. So there's a first :) tick it off my list, needle in my eye :).<br />
<br />
So <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/177373823/your-heart-for-my-heart" target="_blank">Your Heart for My Heart</a> is on Etsy now. I am loving her dress :) and I have started another one already and love the sky on what I have done. Feels good to like my work :).<br />

My daughter has finished her quilt, with the help of her friends hehe and I have done a bit of piecing on the ends and now I will put it together and start sewing :) should be fun. Seriously I cannot piece at all!! I think I might buy a online class on piecing just so I don't feel so inept :).<br />

So excited, here I am thinking it looks like a child's drawing :) And I sold Dream Tree too. Good timing for back to school and about another ten bills as well. I get so excited every time I sell something :) someone actually likes my stuff AND gives me money too!!:)<br />

Finished the next Felicity in the series, it was slow going as the kids have had friends over and all I do is feed them and then clean up after them all. Fun. But they have fun and there is no arguing so give and take :).<br />

So now just to bind it, I find it hard to match a binding colour. I used to just bind it in some funky gold I had but I ran out and the fabric shop I go to get all sorts of different stuff in and not always the same. Will have to look again for something tomorrow.<br />

Then one of my wonderful friends went back to the U.S, so sad and not fair :) Helped clean her house and then when it was empty it looked so nice and clean :) of course, so I came home and did a huge declutter and went through the kids rooms and just cleaned everything!! Now it feels better and when the kids go back to school (wohooo) next week I can relax for a few days before having to clean again. Ha ha ha funny. Dreaming. Nice.<br />
<br />
<br />
Went shopping and there was no chocolate on special!! What??? I never buy chocolate at full price $4.80 for a block of chocolate? No way! So I have to check if there is any stashed at home or keep going back to the store waiting for a special :) This is news people!!. This is important.<br />
<br />
My daughter wants to make her own quilt and she has designed the quilt top up and will start drawing on it tomorrow and then paint, we will then go get the backing and wadding which thankfully is on special at my local quilt shop. Said daughter said well then we should be done by the end of the week then mum once you've done your stuff! hehehe I wish I was that quick or had a long arm and it would be done that quick :)<br />
Dinner, what a chore!! off I go...<br />
