EB Doll’s Quilt Swap!!

Saturday was opening day for the swap! I was super excited. And this is what I found….

It’s so cute, I love the bird, I love the flowers and also the quilting on it is different but work’s so well! Thank-you Becky

This is the one I made.

And this is the back.

Pay It Forward.

I Signed up for Pay It Forward on Helen’s Blog & Lily’s Blog. These will be my first PIF.

Want to play along? I will make a handmade gift for the first 6 (yes you read right 6) interested people that comment below. I then have 365 days to do it in. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise!  The catch is that you must participate as well: you must have a blog and before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Aust, resident’s only please.

I suck at Blogtoberfest!

Blogtoberfest was supposed to be a post everyday in October. I suck. Yep, uh huh.

I have even sucked at Wordless Weekend. And I don’t even have to type anything (or maybe I’m just so good I don’t even have to post on a weekend (nope I just suck)).

But I have been reading a lot of new blog’s. Which got me thinking…

I know what makes a good blog to me, but what makes a good blog to you?
What do you like to see?
What’s your favorite blog at the moment?

Knitting again…

I tried, I really did. I can’t even cast on. I suck at knitting.

Knitting.

I have decided I am going to learn to Knit.

My finger’s just won’t do it.  So I am going to sit here until they do…..!

Stay tuned.

But while I’m here, ever had a Jelly Baff??? This is my son, enjoying his he got for his birthday!

They come in Green, Blue, Red and Pink from Kmart.

Quite a bit of fun!!

I know you want to join in! So make your own list and then let me know you have done it, in this post. I will add a blog roll list in my sidebar and add you in when you have your list up. We can then help each other to make sure we complete our list’s before our goal date’s.  You also have to blog each achievement, and add pictures if you can too (we all love seeing what you have done, good excuse to blog too). The thing’s on your list have to achievable. They can be as big or little as you like. They have to be thing’s you want to do. Add the list to your sidebar so you can see it, and remember what you would like to achieve. And your list does not have to be long, if you only want 4 thing’s on your list, or 10, maybe you can think of 50!!  Make it as big or little as you want, it’ doesn’t have to be by your next birthday, it could be by the end of 2010, just make sure you do set an end date, so you know when you hope to finish your list by.

Maybe I should make some kind of button for it too, that we can have on our blog’s.  Any idea’s on what we can call it? Birthday List? Give me some idea’s.

♥ Looking forward to seeing your list’s ♥

And with all these new people popping in, leave me a message to let me know you’ve popped by, how else will I visit your blog
