Rachel and James have just had the Joy of putting together a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse. There shoeboxes will be travelling to Thailand & distributed to children in need.
Winners are Grinners...
Kylie and I have been very lucky ladies lately, I won these fabulous scraps and printed stationary from Hollabee (see below) and Kylie won a day for 2 at Sewjourn. We will be sharing the love with our own giveaway VERY SOON!
Now that I have my sewing mojo back, I have been a busy girl. I whipped up these Pleated Beauty bags (pattern by Amy Karol) for some friends - they chose their own combination of fabrics/colours to suit their own style & personality. I love them both.
My DH spent this lovely spring day at the Red Bull Air Race on the foreshore of the Swan River, in Perth. He went to pit lane to meet the pilots (and get autographs for the kids), & take a FEW photos of the planes. He has come home with a huge grin & a sore neck! Just to please him, I'll post a photo here.
Hope you are having a fantastic weekend
With Love

I love the bags, you certainly have been busy. I love the Red Bull Air Race I went the first year it was held. Gosh some people were fanatical about it. Congrats on winning some prizes. It gives you a buzz doesn't it. Good to see your children getting into the Christmas Spirit.
Your kiddies are just so lovely with their full shoe boxes. We used to do those when the kids were little. What a wonderful way for the kids to learn about the world and to learn about sharing with those in need. I love the new look blog! Hope all is well! Rosalie.
I remember putting those same boxes together as a little girl! I loved picking out special gifts for them, our church still does the Operation Christmas Child.
