dont you just love -

a brand new stack of fat quarters?





I went to the Sydney quilt and craft fair yesterday with three other lovely DUSTy ladies.
We all do different things even though three of us make jewellery but our styes are very different.

Mandy of Beadsme and Radical Glass makes beautiful dainty pieces using glass and gemstones as well as fused glass pendants and earrings.

Rachel of LaFemmeJewels creates elegant jewellery using quality components.
She has also just opened a shop for her enamel and metal designs, rmdjewellery.

Somewhat outnumbered was Julie from julieblanchette who is a felt and fibre artist, but we managed to walk the length and breadth of the show, and fit in a couple of pit stops at the coffee shop.

We all came away with a few goodies!

Even though I dont need all these fabrics, they were too beautiful to resist!

Some of them will be appliqued to BoosTees tshirts, other made into cute little pin brooches.

I bought a few beads, so look out for an update.

Oh, and I bought some wool to knit myself a jumper - dont hold your breath for that one!

what do you love?

monday's treasuries

Sorry - a bit late this week.
I was tired after physio and pool therapy!

Anyway the advent of treasury east seems to have inspired people, because I was in three lovely treasuries last week.

Mandy of beadsme must have been inspired by mountain mist.
thanks Mandy for including BoosTees Paisley Cat tshirt.




You really should go and see Beadsme's shop as it is full of gorgeous and affordable jewellery.

It was so hard to pick my favorite, but as I love blue, I couldnt go past these pretty everyday earrings.

Leanne of Rainbowrevolution picked my burnt toffee and honey bracelet in her earthy collection.


Rainbowrevolution has wonderful hand made and hand dyed scarves and wraps.

I love this one made from bamboo fabric, it looks so soft and pretty.

Leanne obviously has a theme going, because she also made a watery treasury.

This time she popped BoosTees Blueberry mitts in with all the other lovelies.

I just have to show you Rainbowrevolutions fabulous eco-friendly shopping bags.

Last but not least - Papermemory put together this great collection of Aussie sellers.
I love the way the colours are grouped.

Thanks so much for including my Dancing Days earrings.

Papermemory has a sweet mix of photographs and vintage in store.
Please go and have a look.
