Can't belive I am almost Mother to a one year old

It has only taking me weeks of procrastinating try to decided what I want it to look like but I have finally finished Sebastian's 1st birthday invite, and just in time to post it out as it is one month on Thursday till the big day. Now I just have to get over to Mornington to get some matching envelopes to put them in. I am making him the frog cake from the Women's Weekly Kids which is why there is a frog theme for the party

I have been tagged

Thanks RedinOz for the tag.

I have to write either 6 random things about myself or if I have been tagged previously 6 things that make me happy and then I have to link the person who tagged me and tag 6 more people you know (and let them know you have tagged them in a comment on their blog)

As this is my first tagging I will leave it at the six random things.

1. I love to go sailing with my parents and go fishing for Flathead using a hand line, actually can't wait until Sebastian is old enough to teach him to fish

2. I hate to do laundry, so much so that my husband does it all for me (blush)

3. My husband and I met at a football match when he was down from Sydney for the weekend. I lived in Melbourne and after 19 mths he left his whole life to move down to be with me

4. I named my son after Bastian from Never Ending Story, I picked his name out (and the girls name) when I was 18, luckily my husband like both of them.

5. I spent 3 weeks earlier this year in hospital with severe pancreatis, worst 3 weeks in my life. I missed my boys so much :(

6. I love go camping, especially over Easter with the extended family on the Murray

Now I tag

Sorry if you have already been tagged but I don't know anyone else in blog land :)

Quilts completed #2

It is quite embarrassing that I forgot about these two quilts that I had completed, one of them is hung on a wall that I walk pass multiple times a day, the other is over a chair in Bastian's nursery. Anyway for completeness sake here they are


This one was a kit that my parents bought me for my birthday and few years ago.



This one may of actually been the first quilt I started, it was only finished last year in time to go over the rocking chair for Bastian's nursery.

Current Work in Progress

My list of projects to be completed is not what I am currently working on, it is what I have started at some stage and never finished, that being said I do intend to one day finish them all.

Currently I have two projects on the go, the first is a block of the month called Granny's Magic Bag. I am doing it as a class at my local quilt shop, Magic Patch Quilting in Tyabb. We are meant to be up to month 6, I have just started month 3, this one I will finish as it is for my beautiful boy to one day go on his big boy bed... Reckon I still have a year or two before that happens though.

These are the two blocks that I have done to date

Month 1

Month 2

I have changed the wording slightly by changing Granny to Grandma as that is what my mum is called.

As for my Baby Dear Jane quilt I will have to find an easy way to blog what I have done so far on that one, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Quilts completed

Seeing that I have actually finished soooo many quilts to date, thought I should post some pics of them
This one was the first quilt I actually finished, it is only normally comes out over Christmas.


















I am very proud of this next quilt, it is Monticello a Jinny Beyer quilt, I made myself finish that as I booked it in to be quilted so I had to get it done, maybe I should try that more often



This next one is a floor mat for my son Sebastian, I actually started before we had even started TTC and it was only finished June this year. Still I am really happy with how it turned out

So much so I decided to put a close up on as well.
Now if only I could finish some more....
Why a blog, well everyone seems to have one these days so why not have one as well. Also hopefully by having a records on what I am currently working on with my quilts might encourage me to get off my but stop watching tv and do some sewing. Anyway if you are reading this I hope you come back for more updates as I try to actually finish some of my many many many WIP.
