Tilda Swap Recieved
On Wednesday I recieved my swap from my swap buddy, Leanne. It is always an exciting event to get a parcel in the mail, filled with individually wrapped presents. Take a look at what Leanne made up for me.
As you can see, Jared has so kindly fixed my blog for me, so I could actually show you these goodies. Sorry, Leanne that it took so long to show everyone. I have done a few interesting things in the last week, so let me show you.
I melted some crayons and re shaped them. I will not do this again, I have stained a few things green. I have thrown them out…..FAIL!
My sister let me borrow the Dvd’s “Against the Wind”. It is an Australian drama made in the 80’s about the colonial settlement in the late 1700s. I noted the above scene, the lady is drinking from a cup. I paused it, and ran off to my cupboard to see this..
Snap!
I taught Cassandra a new skill this week. We cleaned the floor grooves with toothpaste. It worked a charm. Don’t ever throw your toothbrushes out folks, they have so many uses.
Do you like my little doll I made? The pattern is from a Tilda book. I put a couple of flat marbles at the base to make it sit well. I have also done some more sewing, but I haven’t taken photos yet, so I had better get to it.
We had a family Church BBQ at our house last weekend. We have been at a different church for a while, so we wanted to catch up with our home church. We had about 35 people in total. It was a shame that it rained, but everyone fit into the house alright. It was a lovely day of fellowship.
