Thank artists for light

Having had a nanna nap till 9pm, we set off for dinner. The Rocks in Sydney are known for their artists.
This is exceptional


Enjoy...





Chimes inside


The sound was amazing


These changed color





John thinks this one looked like a hair tie gone hey wire..


Just a special touch to what is a very 'normal' bridge???


My favourite (well almost)


What a chandelier


I want one..


The world really is flat


And now i know how it spins


Just because it was amazing


My absolute favourite!!


John on the run..


Me!!! Looking fabulous!!! LOL thanks to Reanna for making me look so good..


Found this in a walkway. If only everyone who did graffitti was this honest!


A harbourside restaurant where keeping the customers happy is a true priority!! They were lounging watching the lights on the opera house


Fish


Moving art. It was this big!!!


Whinnie watching it all happening. Thankfully we just drive 50 metres up the ramp onto the flat so we can sleep flat..


The real me having a hoot!!
Hope you are having a happy day

A peek on the inside

Well after 2 days at the wholesale show in Sydney here's a peak at some of 'the booths'. No doubt you'll be seeing some or all in your local shops.
Remember if your local shop doesn't have it, use these photos to ask them to get it in for you...


Sue Daley and her gorgeous daughter stitching up a storm.


Sew line have a fabulous new pencil and liquid set to erase your lines without rubbing. Needless to say I now have one in my sewing tool box!


Pam and her new Cottage Garden threads. Watch for her new packaging (complete with care instructions on the back)


Clare, the new kid on the block with her gorgeous modern and fresh designs...


New designs...


Lynette Anderson has some great new patterns and a lovely new fabric range out


Sharon's a kiwi but her quilts make up for that. LOL


Gorgeous lace from Brisbane local and friend, Dianna.


Yep the Disney crew will be in your local shops real soon


McKenna Ryan has a lovely new Christmas quilt just releasing.


Beautiful threads and ribbons.


I just adore the Valdani threads!


Patrick, the main man behind Moda here in Australia.


Electric bias and cording machines. Yep you guessed it, one is coming my way so call past if you would like to see it in action


Annie Smith had some gorgeous new doll patterns out!


Natalie Bird from The Birdhouse had some fabulous new patterns out





Annie Downs from Hatched and Patched has been stitching up a massive storm





Kookaburra Cottage (below) looked as gorgeous as ever


Some great owl bags will be in store soon. These come from SSS. Loved them


There was so much to see and buy! My poor little shop will be exploding when it all gets unpacked.
Hope you enjoyed the sneak peak...

Designer Disaster cont...

Well you wanna know the end of the designer disaster story?
Well sorry, it's dark and in Whinnie I cant get a good picture.
Tomorrow...

We were scheduled to leave Brisbane at 3am this morning and finally left at 1pm. Not too much after schedule???
Couldn't leave before I printed off some patterns of my new 'tiny stitches' patterns..
Here's a sneak preview of them as I am still making the samples..


So here we are 'making a mile' down the Pacific Highway in the dark and where there is a will there is a way...


Yes that is my rechargeable Ott light, and yes it was as 'flat as a tack' when I went to use it.
Super Camper John has this gizmo that if he plugs his gizmo into the dash, I plug my light into that and Yes People, we have light!!!
Stuffing little cushions in the dark is OK but trimming off excess fabric and clipping curves gets a bit tricky..


Here's John listening to the UHF and note the Ott light in the reflection??? What a groovy gadget!


My sewing basket is now an Ikea box between the two front seats!

Just think, only 500klms to go...

John thinks because I haven't complained all afternoon he is going to take me across the Nullabor!
Now I ask you?
And men think women are dumb???
