Melly & me

On my lap today..

Today the kiddies went back to school for term four and I spent the day in full fledged "Melly & me" mode.

Most of the day was filled with the sun steaming into my lounge room while I sat with my laptop perched on my lap working away on my new fabric collection for 2013.  I almost cant even express how much I am falling in love with these new designs, do I really have to wait so long to show you all?! I think I am nearly finished the collection and that always gives such an exciting buzz, I cannot wait to send it off to see what the "powers that be" think of it :)

And now this afternoon I have something a little more exciting for you on my lap!  I have just drawn the winners for the "Toy Tales" fat quarter bundles - YAY!!!  Thank you all so incredibly much for all of your beautiful comments and sweet words of congratulations, I adored reading every one!

The lucky blog comment to be drawn as a winner is....

Heidee Hallam - Congratulations Heidee!!

And the Facebook comment that won the second little bundle of Happiness is....

Yay Emma!!!

Make sure you both contact me with your postal details so I can get your exciting bundles on their way (if I can part with them, he-he!)

I hope to be back next week with that yummy wedding post as I hear the photo may be here by then, super exciting!

And in the meantime I will leave you with a nasty tease of what else has been on my lap today - so cute, but cannot be revealed until a later date.  I am so mean!...

Toy Tales Giveaway...

I'm Baaaaack!!  After the most glorious and amazing wedding and honeymoon a girl could ever possibly dream of!  Every part of it was complete perfection and I promise to be back here with a wedding blog post very soon when I receive all of my photos!  I simply cannot wait to share my wedding fun with you!

But in the mean time I just had to share with you the exciting delivery that arrived while I was living it up in paradise. Yes.... eeeeek, my advance bolts of "Toy Tales" arrived and are in my hot little hands!  I am just so excited and so thrilled with how this collection has come together.  I keep looking at it and dreaming of what to do with them... and yes, there is a little stage fright, as always!

I have so many faves in here, and half of the problem is just in deciding which ones to use first!

So while I ponder such important dilemmas, I have had some fun making up some delicious fat quarter bundles!!  "Little bundles of Happiness" as I was calling them last night to my husband (hehe, had to use the "h" word).  And of course to celebrate I need to offer a fun "Toy Tales" giveaway!  I would love to share 2 advance bundles with you all.  One will be drawn from the blog here and one from my facebook page (feel free to enter both!).  Please just leave a comment to be in the running and maybe even mention what you would like to see me create from these fun fabrics.  So much fun!!!  Good Luck :)

And of course while I am talking about giveaways, I cannot forget to draw the names for the pattern giveaway I left you with. I have decided to draw five names, which are.....

Deborah, Michelle Dickie, Cara Rotter, Bard Conroy and Erin.  Make sure you all email me with your choice of pattern from 2012 and your postal address so I get them out asap, and congrats.

So, until I can come back with my fun wedding post, make sure you comment to be in the running for your own pre-release "little bundle of happiness". I cant wait to see what you will do with it!  Oh an just so you know, "Toy Tales" should be hitting stores in the next month or two (YAY!!) and is produced by "Windham Fabrics".
