I am very eager to start another crochet cushion!<br />
I have including a photo of the back of my Copenhagen cushion using a few vintage buttons on the back<br />
Still posting and taking photos with my iPad, and haven't worked out how to add text under the photos.<br />
I forgot to mention my little pincushion (in bottom photo) which is the March project with the stitch a long group...such a cute little project and another lovely Anni Downs design.<br />

<br />
<br />
Late Friday afternoon I was feeling quite guilty, with only 2 crochet blocks done toward my Copenhagen pillow Crochet-a-long. All the other girls were going so well and leaving me for dust lol! So I decided I must make more of an effort...<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f8bA3czj5tQ/UTrb-EXc7vI/AAAAAAAAF20/alN4vG_2D-Y/s1600/IMG_0764.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f8bA3czj5tQ/UTrb-EXc7vI/AAAAAAAAF20/alN4vG_2D-Y/s640/IMG_0764.JPG" /></a> </div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">

Well here's my missing favourite photo (from previous post) I have been amazed at the quality of photos that my new phone takes...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1Vyv_F_DOVs/UTXJqlwpIyI/AAAAAAAAF2U/w7XzVb1l94k/s1600/IMG_0628.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1Vyv_F_DOVs/UTXJqlwpIyI/AAAAAAAAF2U/w7XzVb1l94k/s640/IMG_0628.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_iYU2WG2MRI/UTXJrfv7WfI/AAAAAAAAF2g/siFTAXOc3Wo/s1600/IMG_0619.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_iYU2WG2MRI/UTXJrfv7WfI/AAAAAAAAF2g/siFTAXOc3Wo/s640/IMG_0619.JPG" /></a><br />
This arrangement came about as a little challenge for myself...to arrange some flowers with what seemed to be very little flowering in my garden...as it turned out I was pleasantly surprised!!!<br />
<br />
My <a href="http://sweetcinnamonstitches.blogspot.com/">sister</a> has created a badge for the crochet-a-long (on my sidebar), so for the ladies who have joined i will email the badge for you to use if you would like........and I will share a post my very slow progress!!!! Pleased we have no rules with this one!lol!<br />
Bye For Now<br />

<br />
Time has come to update our little kitchen...when I look at this photo all I see is green!lol! It has been quite exciting with the joiner visiting yesterday to take measurements, shopping for cooktops, ovens, lights etc.<br />
The plan is to have white washed pine ceiling with downlights, <br />
white tiles, white benchtops, extend the breakfast bar and have more cupboards underneath<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8jgw7a6Xy9A/US6J7wI0KiI/AAAAAAAAFy0/LFtSpxR5kAc/s1600/IMG_0389.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8jgw7a6Xy9A/US6J7wI0KiI/AAAAAAAAFy0/LFtSpxR5kAc/s400/IMG_0389.JPG" /></a><br />
new oven and cooktop </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JK5O4PCJPcc/US6J8QSGhgI/AAAAAAAAFy8/0qksDqI46Sw/s1600/IMG_0477.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JK5O4PCJPcc/US6J8QSGhgI/AAAAAAAAFy8/0qksDqI46Sw/s400/IMG_0477.JPG" /></a><br />

Induction cooktop and pyrolytic oven</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bUep0I-h-J0/US6J_owgH_I/AAAAAAAAFzE/XJixYa_f6Z4/s1600/IMG_0470.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bUep0I-h-J0/US6J_owgH_I/AAAAAAAAFzE/XJixYa_f6Z4/s400/IMG_0470.JPG" /></a><br />

When I decided to start a Project Life Album, I wondered if I would be able to fill it with the weekly events that take place in my life...but boy was I mistaken! These are few pics that I have snapped over the week and I have to admit I am LOVING taking the photos!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYISfIdTHJI/UR1hopp7DxI/AAAAAAAAFrw/tDVsABm2Wjk/s1600/IMG_0176.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYISfIdTHJI/UR1hopp7DxI/AAAAAAAAFrw/tDVsABm2Wjk/s640/IMG_0176.JPG" /></a><br />
We went out fishing on Monday (a long weekend here) and caught some fish for tea...and you can't beat freshly cooked flathead and homemade chips. </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8TRVK8rD6E0/UR1hpOlHHRI/AAAAAAAAFr8/B_2k7MI-Bnc/s1600/IMG_0228.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8TRVK8rD6E0/UR1hpOlHHRI/AAAAAAAAFr8/B_2k7MI-Bnc/s640/IMG_0228.JPG" /></a><br />
I also decided that it was to hard having to scrapbook in another room, so I shuffled things around in my sewing room to make room for another table for scrapping. My sewing room needed a tidy up so the above photo is my favourite sewing spot </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SeGskLsk5fw/UR1hp2N4hvI/AAAAAAAAFsI/3IKrVAAkJWY/s1600/IMG_0226.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SeGskLsk5fw/UR1hp2N4hvI/AAAAAAAAFsI/3IKrVAAkJWY/s640/IMG_0226.JPG" /></a><br />
And in the opposite corner I have set up my scrapping table. Can you see my new vintage toy on desk? Thank you Ebay! </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f3F0XREGN5M/UR1hqr8SvfI/AAAAAAAAFsU/LGECQd1xMgE/s1600/IMG_0232.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f3F0XREGN5M/UR1hqr8SvfI/AAAAAAAAFsU/LGECQd1xMgE/s640/IMG_0232.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6pFu9CRHDDQ/UR1hrLwBq9I/AAAAAAAAFsg/mKG3p3gX1dE/s1600/IMG_0282.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6pFu9CRHDDQ/UR1hrLwBq9I/AAAAAAAAFsg/mKG3p3gX1dE/s640/IMG_0282.JPG" /></a><br />
And some early stitching this morning</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6GuhAbQ7A98/UR1hr5loIzI/AAAAAAAAFso/Y6YBShoHhOE/s1600/IMG_0237.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6GuhAbQ7A98/UR1hr5loIzI/AAAAAAAAFso/Y6YBShoHhOE/s640/IMG_0237.JPG" /></a><br />
Oh I love tidy! But how long will it last?? lol<br />

My <a href="http://sweetcinnamonstitches.blogspot.com/">sister </a>and I have both been keen to start a crochet project and decided to do a crochet a long and make a cushion together. The pattern is a freebie (and easy), so if anyone would like to join us, just let me know (I will add your link to my sidebar) and we can all encourage each other along the way to the finish line! I have even talked Mum into doing it also, so I will share some photo's of Mums work along the way. If you pop over to <a href="http://sweetcinnamonstitches.blogspot.com/">Janes</a> blog, she has the link to the Copenhagen Pillow pattern.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sa1bEFLgY1o/URocYYgFsYI/AAAAAAAAFqI/YpdnyK6GsJY/s1600/IMG_0142.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sa1bEFLgY1o/URocYYgFsYI/AAAAAAAAFqI/YpdnyK6GsJY/s640/IMG_0142.JPG" /></a><br />
I have been playing with a few african flowers, just to get back into the swing of things!</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CJGRSvIk-D8/URocY7l_OmI/AAAAAAAAFqU/XE6rwnzt3_g/s1600/IMG_0118.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CJGRSvIk-D8/URocY7l_OmI/AAAAAAAAFqU/XE6rwnzt3_g/s640/IMG_0118.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ceu-dIuQ0PM/URocZr6Yg1I/AAAAAAAAFqg/bEtNyF1A-Ac/s1600/IMG_0151.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ceu-dIuQ0PM/URocZr6Yg1I/AAAAAAAAFqg/bEtNyF1A-Ac/s640/IMG_0151.JPG" /></a><br />
And they quickly grew!<br />
Now I have my colours worked out, I am ready to start!<br />

<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ogJNeAoV-8w/URW5daPOk_I/AAAAAAAAFoU/NYE5Y3PJqA4/s1600/IMG_0114.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ogJNeAoV-8w/URW5daPOk_I/AAAAAAAAFoU/NYE5Y3PJqA4/s640/IMG_0114.JPG" /></a><br />
I have kept things quite simple...this is my Cover page </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bToTgj1FyT0/URW5eLJS6xI/AAAAAAAAFog/nkyzbqCr99w/s1600/IMG_0115.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bToTgj1FyT0/URW5eLJS6xI/AAAAAAAAFog/nkyzbqCr99w/s640/IMG_0115.JPG" /></a><br />
And week four...which is where I am making a start as I didn't even start scrapbooking until mid January</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CX00QhCiKBU/URW5egwcsjI/AAAAAAAAFos/WcZKbd3B-_0/s1600/IMG_0116.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CX00QhCiKBU/URW5egwcsjI/AAAAAAAAFos/WcZKbd3B-_0/s640/IMG_0116.JPG" /></a><br />
week 4 a photo of Dad taken back in the late 1950's turned up in our local newsletter when he played in the local cricket team...along with photos of my 3 uncles, 2 of which have now passed away.<br />
<br />
I am really enjoying this so much...wished I had done it sooner! </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gv5E1J475OE/URW5fOHuTtI/AAAAAAAAFo4/xhY8VKq-SzE/s1600/IMG_0104.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gv5E1J475OE/URW5fOHuTtI/AAAAAAAAFo4/xhY8VKq-SzE/s640/IMG_0104.JPG" /></a><br />
And heres a little snapshot of a plate full of flowers in my craft room...real ones (Jane McGrath rose) and some made with lace and fabric, taken with my new iphone (which I am loving so much). <br />
I have also joined Instagram, so look out for cubbyhousecrafts there too for some more pics<br />
<br />
Bye For Now<br />
I am off to trace a stitchery for this months stitch-a-long project<br />

This is a way I can keep track of what's happening in my life, whether it's crafting,family,cooking,gardening and doing it all with my other love of taking photo's. <br />
Now I just have to wait for my album and supplies to arrive.<br />
Have you been tempted to start Project Life too? <br />

We spent a few days away holidaying at Shearwater resort recently. Whilst walking around the shopping complex just over the road from the resort, I spotted a lovely little shop called Paperdolls Scrap'n'Card. I fell in love with all the pretty cardstocks, ribbons and lace! I purchased a few things, in pic below. I was given some catalogues by the owner of the shop to take and have a look at...my mind was racing with all the ideas for scrapping, journals and cardmaking!!! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HRoejXiRQ3s/UPd65QeQOFI/AAAAAAAAFhU/oDUoBrT_Meo/s1600/IMG_3146.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HRoejXiRQ3s/UPd65QeQOFI/AAAAAAAAFhU/oDUoBrT_Meo/s640/IMG_3146.JPG" /></a><br />
I came home searching the internet on cardmaking and all the products available, and was quite overwhelmed at all the products available! Let's just say that the postman is going to be very busy delivering parcels next week! hehe!</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-30MQogQNBSw/UPd6543rb_I/AAAAAAAAFhg/njdCNBh2CJc/s1600/IMG_3161.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-30MQogQNBSw/UPd6543rb_I/AAAAAAAAFhg/njdCNBh2CJc/s640/IMG_3161.JPG" /></a><br />
A new shop opened up here in town a few months back, which I only managed to visit yesterday...and look what I found</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MUT-PVYkWlo/UPd67HOTOtI/AAAAAAAAFhs/7ykmJFbRcOw/s1600/IMG_3159.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MUT-PVYkWlo/UPd67HOTOtI/AAAAAAAAFhs/7ykmJFbRcOw/s640/IMG_3159.JPG" /></a><br />
the prettiest vintage lace, old postards and vintage buttons</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VGIIyOle7qQ/UPd67-fVaUI/AAAAAAAAFh4/CB7G9nqyguI/s1600/IMG_3156.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VGIIyOle7qQ/UPd67-fVaUI/AAAAAAAAFh4/CB7G9nqyguI/s640/IMG_3156.JPG" /></a><br />
They are going to come in very handy!!</div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sZI3WAKzgiE/UPd68k51xXI/AAAAAAAAFiE/jw8xY-4AJaU/s1600/IMG_3155.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sZI3WAKzgiE/UPd68k51xXI/AAAAAAAAFiE/jw8xY-4AJaU/s640/IMG_3155.JPG" /></a><br />
all these ideas have had me looking back through my old journals, one of them Helen Stubbings "Life is Beautiful' journal. I really loved decorating the cover with my handmade crochet motifs and vintage laces and buttons from my stash. And now I have a few more to work with!(If I can actually cut into them that is)lol </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oebsPzLnzv0/UPd69d9LHyI/AAAAAAAAFiQ/ZIfrBXRlNR8/s1600/IMG_3170.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oebsPzLnzv0/UPd69d9LHyI/AAAAAAAAFiQ/ZIfrBXRlNR8/s640/IMG_3170.JPG" /></a><br />
