Bonjour my lovely Peeps!!
Since my blog is sadly neglected these days you've probably barely registered my absence LOL but I have been away!
For 17 days to be precise, swanning around France and Italy!
It's the first time I've been really overseas (Aussie doesn't really count ?) and without any of my children for longer than a week!!
It was absolute bliss! I ate all the food did all the stuff (cycled 300km ) and saw all the things.
But best of all I had a holiday from my life, which is far from terrible but can be really busy and tiring and demanding....just like everyone elses!!

I highly recommend it!

Massdrop did come a callin' while I was out.....3 times to be precise!
Valdani threads Perle #8 Whistlepig palette
Aaaaand while I was standing in an airport queue in France ( Ryan Air is an adventure all by itself!! )
I realised my Tasha Noel vintage Market bundle had sold out at Westwood Acres, so I panicked and jumped onto Hawthorne Threads and bought me some half yards....phew!
I bought what was available and filled the bag with Dumb Dot White on Black which is a staple for me and I knew I'd run out
So pretty all stacked up
Tasha is never short on cuteness and the reason I think so many of her lines appeal is not only because of this but that there is ample opportunity for fussy cutting!
Look at these girls on bikes, they're crying out to be the centre of a feature block!
I got a bit too clicky on the Add to Cart button and also bought a half yard of the Floral in Mint in KNIT.........any suggestions would be helpful??!!
I've long admired Liberty Prints but have thought they were far too expensive to purchase any.....
WELL..... Polka Dot Tea fabrics clearly called my bluff, every girl obviously has her price and mine is Tiny Teapots and Alice in Wonderland????
I never said I was playing with a full deck when it comes to fabric.....
