They are done!
It is time for celebration! I have finished my last project for the "Girls Day Out" retreat with Country Thyme Patchwork!! For a girl who has never designed a stitchery or applique pattern before I am quite proud of myself to have my 3 projects completed and to actually like them!!! I am in love with the completed project from my last sneak peek and wish I could share it with you but this is not to be......In late May it will all be revealed, maybe some of your will be at the retreat in Mooroopna and can be the first to lay eyes on them!? I hope so! On the weekend I designed and made my third and last project for the retreat and am quite pleased with it! Here is another little tease..
So now it is starting to look like I may have some time in March to dream up some new Melly & me designs - Yippee!!
I am very excited this week as Rosie and I are heading up to Townsville on Friday for the weekend!! Rosie is going to be teaching at the "Tinkers Cart" retreat and I have decided to go along for the ride. I have always wanted to see Townsville and am really looking forward to a weekend of fun with Rosie as well as some quiet time on my own to dream, design and draw. I am hoping that this may be able to be done in the sunshine on the beach but I think with Townsville's last few weeks of weather I may have to be happy with sitting in our beautiful hotel room with pad and pencil. I can still hope!!
Reece wrote to us this week asking if we were going to run another Scrappy Cabin scrap swap this year - we would love to hear people's feedback - is anyone interested in a Scrap Swap # 2 ? If so we will definitely get one started - nothing is better than new scraps!
And now here is a picture of something I have no idea why I made and no idea why I am showing it. But for no apparent reason whatsoever (other than having a photo to show!!) meet "Itty Bitty Kitty" - Melly

Goodmorning, Aussie Flossies! Love the stitchery on your secret project! I see a little girls’ hair with some flowers...?? And Little Bitty Kitty is gorgeous.
Another scrappy swap would be great.
Depends on the time schedule however if I will be able to take part.
