Saturday Show: Owl Always Love You

Hello Peeps,

Today's Saturday Show is a one of the first quilts Miss H made. It was one that started her love of aqua and owls.

Miss H designed it herself (with help from the Mother). Isn't it coolio?

This is the owl fabric she decided to centre the quilt around.

The whole quilt has been quilted and tied with buttons by the Mother. Miss H started hand quilting it but she found it so difficult to pick up all the layers with her needle that she asked the Mother to do it. 

The thread used to stitch the squares was originally a sparkly thread. Unfortunately it broke so often. So the Mother added some ordinary brown thread with one strand of the sparkly one which made it a lot easier. 

The pinwheels each have a button in the middle.

Miss H put the cutest aqua spotted fabric on the back.

The border fabric the Mother found is absolutely perfect. It includes all the colours in the quilt.

 

Even with all the difficulties to make it this quilt is one that Miss H will always love.

Triangles, triangles, triangles.

Hello Peeps,

Miss H has a job looking after a couple of children before and after preschool. So she thought she would make them some special toys to play with when they visited.

When she saw this pattern, she knew it was perfect!

Here are the two triangle creatures she has made.

This is Deeno. Isn't he such a coolio dinosaur?

And his spikes are nice and soft prairie points.  

 Meet Bruce. He is a friendly vegetarian shark who loves playing with children - not eating them!

He has one fin so he can pretend to be the shark from Jaws!

Miss H has plans to make a lot more for the little girls to play with when they visit. Can you guess the animals she is going to make?

It's the Holidays!!! YAY!!!

Hello Peeps,

We spent Easter in Pauanui with friends. It was such fun.

Clever Master I-Zee (Kit Kat's brother) made the Mother a lovely paper swan. Isn't it coolio?

Today, Miss H had an adorable 3 year old to look after ALL day! I helped too. It was such fun. We feed ducks, made cards, played with toys, made a flower posy, ate chocolate and so many more things.  Here are some pictures of a few things we did:

It was Master C and Miss R's birthday (they are twins). So we sneakily attached balloons to their letter box and put their presents inside.

 

Then it was on to a fabric shop.

Anna, Elsa, and I enjoyed looking at all the pretty fabric. 

And we also baked Milo Koala Bear Cookies. They were yummy!

 

Pop by on Friday to see what Miss H has made with triangles.

Miss H's Birthday Party!

Hello Peeps,

Miss H had her birthday party on Sunday. The party was Alice in Wonderland themed.

 

Lots of sweet food! It was all soooo yummy!

Thank-you to all the lovely people who baked the sweet treats.

There was, of course, savoury food too! Lovely club sandwiches and asparagus rolls - just like all tea parties should have.

The Mother made a fabulous cake with a little bit of help from Miss Bee.
 

Miss Bee made this lovely bunny bum out of fondant. Isn't it adorable?

And look at the amazing tree trunk chocolate cake the Mother made.

The rabbit was trying to get to the M&M's that were secretly hidden in the middle.

Saturday Show: Deck The Halls

Hello Peeps,

Todays Saturday Show is a Christmas table-runner. I know its not Christmas - but the runner is just sooo coolio I thought I would show you.

See? Isn't it just amazing?

The top part is a Jenny of Elefantz design. 

Tralala!

This is one of the few times the Mother has done EPP. She rather enjoyed it.

The back is a pretty red.

What To Do With A Sock Darner When You Don't Darn Socks...

Hello Peeps,

Remember this picture:

Well, we found out the UFO that the Mother bought is a sock darner.

 

But the Mother doesn't darn socks... hmmm... what to do with it..?

So the Mother got thinking... she remembered something she had seen on Pinterest - but she wouldn't tell me what!

So I did some snooping. 

 

Why is she painting her fabric black? 

And what does it have to do with this red spotted fabric, green felt, and pretty red thread?

At this point she caught me snooping and tossed me out of the Sewing Room until she was all finished!
Sneaking, sneaking, Baa not sneaking!

And here is what she made:

A pretty little crow on top of a pumpkin pincushion!
Isn't it coolio?

She got some copper wire from the Boss and a twig from outside just to finish off her pumpkin.

And finally today, because I am a sheep who LURVES chocolate I thought I would show you the two lovely cakes I got to sample last week.

 

Miss H made this divine Black Forest Cake last Thursday - it was DELICIOUS!

 

 

 Miss Bee (who taught Miss H to crochet) made this adorable birthday cake for her daughter's first birthday. Yummy!
