Matahra does Tinkerbelle

Week of the 5th to 9th January
Greetings all,
Happy New year to all my friends and family. I wish you great happiness and good health for the year 2009.
The week started of by having Matahra stay over. She is a happy soul. She loves to help where ever I am not to mention have afternoon tea at Gloria's Buderim.There are always little notes left everwhere she goes around the house. We did watch Tinkerbelle together both wearing our Tinkerbelle T Shirts.


Tuesday and Wednesday Sienna had her turn at visiting. Her Nintendo got a very big workout and she even taught me a little on how it works.
Her BIG statement while we were having lunch at Buderim Cafe was quote" I would like to make a Quilt Gran!" Well I almost fell off the chair.
So what does a Gran do.... We went to the Patchwork Angelat Forest Glen and Sienna chose her fabric, a 5 inch square charm pack, a pair of scissors, some matching thread, some pins, needles and a ruler.
When we got home I put it into her special quilt box, added a marking pencil and then we were off to start.
All the fabric has 1/4 inch lines to sew on, pinned 2 pieces together and she is off and stitching. Her stitches are not quite as small as mine but I am so proud of her. I can pass on lots of quilting techniques not to mention my stash that she is already looking at for more squares.

Thursday saw me laze in bed and read. Bob gave me Dr Chris O'Briens book "Never say die" It is a good read so far. I was given several books for Christmas so it means many lazy mornings resting in bed and reading. What more could a Dr order.....
Somehow I have had a bright idea that I might like to make some Artsist Trading cards. (silly me) Now I know how to do them I am going to give them a go.
Getting inspiration as to what fabrics and embellishments to add is my big worry. I am sure something will come to mind.
So, until next we meet,
