Another day filled with wonderful surprises ~ today it was an unexpected parcel from Sonya at Giggle Buttons. Look what Sonya has sent me…. yep, it is one of her beautiful button stitchery kits to keep me busy during my recovery. Sonya knows I love pink and pretty so this is perfect for me. Thanks again Sonya – you are a treasure. If you would like to see some more of Sonya’s lovely ceramic buttons and kits you can visit her website at http://www.gigglebuttons.com.au/
Now while we are talking sewing, have you caught up yet with the exciting challenge going on over at Tag Along Teddies blog?
I thought about joining in this challenge but realistically…..I haven’t got a chance of keeping up. Kris from Tag Along Teddies together with May Britt are running this challenge to complete one sewing project each month. They are offering a prize draw at the end of each month too so with already over a hundred participants signed up, this will be a challenge to watch.
In other news, I’m eagerly awaiting the first issue of the newest E-magazine called Romantic Living. The lovely Kelli from Vintage Vavoom and her sister Maureen are busy finalizing the first issue due out on March 1st. Make sure you visit their blog and email them so you can subscribe to the on-line magazine.
Finally, just a reminder that my ‘What are little boys made of’ canvas is featured in the current issue of Handmade magazine – Vol 26/No 5 on sale at newsstands now. I received a lot of emails regarding this project when I featured it on my blog last year, so you can get the project instructions free in the mag or (for international customers) as a pattern packet from Woodberry Designs when I re-open in late February.
It’s another hot afternoon here in Melbourne and I’m stuck here in bed laying under the ceiling fan. I’m going to pop an old favourite in the DVD player now, a true chick flick – the original BBC production of Pride and Prejudice with the gorgeous Colin Firth as Mr Darcy….mmmmmm. Now that is a nice way to see out the afternoon.
Until next time….hugs,
Kerryanne
Hi Kerryanne
I just love that Giggle Buttons pattern – lucky girl!
An afternoon with Mr Darcy/Colin Firth – dreamy 🙂 My husband loves Mr Bennetts sense of humour.
Blessings

Lotsa happening!
Phew ain’t it hot.
I sort of wish I had good reason to lay under a fan and watch a dvd,Oh well I guess i will just chase around sweating profusely after my little punks,Who are as grumpy as all get out!
We got in the 30’s and for highland country thats hot,I hate the heat but as I “type” a breeze is comming up,we will freeze within 2 hours.
Hope the recovery process is going ok and your spirits are still high,It could get depressing hulledup in bed.
Think of you often though
Take care
Yep, another hot day – we went ot the pool AGAIN!!! I prefer Colin Firth too as Mr Darcy! He is very yummy…..Glad you have a few things to occupy yourself…I hope you are getting better?
Hello Kerryanne, I am glad you received your parcel, and I have to admit, that I too, wouldnt mind laying in bed under the fan, stitching whilst watching Colin Firth, in any role he plays. All the best, Regards Sonya at Giggles!
that really is the sweetest canvas for a boy i have ever seen. can you believe i have never seen that movie and there is a long list of other ‘classics’ i havent seen… sound of music, titanic, heaps more basically you name it i havent seen it. that should be my new years resolution, watch the classics!!!
hope the heat leaves you soon mmmwwaahh rosey
Too hot really to do anything but rest .

Hi Kerryanne,
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. It’s so nice to have new guests!
I love the “little boys” canvas. My grandson’s first birthday is today (1/7). I may have to make him one of those for a belated gift. Do you know if the magazine is sold in the USA?
PS. Colin Firth ~ lovely!
Hey Kerryanne!! Here I am, only able to communicate with the world by leaving comments on people’s blogs because I STILL don’t have email, web site or the cute banner and background on my blog! SIGH!!! On the up side, I’ve been sitting stitching in front of a DVD – but mine’s from a VERY different genre – “Midsomer Murders”! Murder, mystery, mayhem and some English humour thrown in to take my mind of my techmological woes! Still … quilt progressing well, so that’s the trade off! Hope Melbourne weather is kind to you soon! Bear Hugs! KRIS
OOPS! Meant to say I love that cute pattern from Sonya – what a sweetie!! Happy stitching! More Bear Hugs! KRIS
How are you going? Can’t imagine what it must be like for you, and in the heat of the summer too!!! I would be beside myself! Take Care – Rachaelxo
My husband and I just watched Pride and Prejudice last night for the first time. Romantic.
