Friday Fun

A Craft Show, Retail Therapy and cooking with my little helper.
My Friday couldn't get much better.

This weekend in Bendigo we have "Craft Alive" happening and I was lucky enough to take some "me time" this morning to go for a wonder around all by myself. Nice and slow. No one telling me to hurry up or no one glaring at me because I was talking too much :o)

This book, "Ho Ho Ho Let It Snow" was a little online purchase that arrived earlier this week and the fabrics were my first purchase for the day. I am looking forward to cutting into these.
  

Here are some of the projects from the book.


My next little purchase.  No plans to start this one yet. I'm just going to start stashing them for later.  I can blame this purchase on Suzitee :)  If you pop on over here and take a look at her version and you will fully understand my love of her version.  I have plans for mine to be made with all my Bonnie and Camille Scraps. Ranging from Bliss through to Scrumptious. 


On the way home I also stopped at my LQS and picked up these. I have plans for them :o)



Now, to get out of the house this morning I had to make a "bribe" with Miss Lily that we would make cookies when I got home. So this afternoon we have been busy making Raspberry and Chocolate Chunk Cookies, double batch ...... Yum Yum


The recipe can be found here on Retro mummy's Blog


and let me just say, this beater didn't stay like this for long!


Have a great weekend.
Hugs Sharon

    Yummo for those biscuits! Love the version of Scandinavian Roses that you linked for us, I have some Bliss and Ruby fabrics that I'll save for you for our next Mill Rosie meet up to add to your stash for this project :) Barb.
    P.S: Which threads/colours did you use for Rosalie's new hexie BOM as I'm thinking of doing this as well and love the colours you're using?? :)

    What a lovely way to spend the day Sharon. Think I will have to buy Ho Ho Ho Let it Snow - so many lovely projects. And must admit I have started stashing Scandanavian Rose also - not sure when I will get to start it, but will keep adding. Those biscuits look "to die for"

    That's all I need, is to keep being reminded about Scandinavian Rose too! I love that quilt, but I think I love BFF a little more, so far...

    Too many choices! Darn. I think you should be earning a commission, Sharon! I'm sure you've sold a bunch of these patterns. :0)
