Shopping is an art... I am an artist.

Caity & I went out and had a great day out - We had our make-up done and Caity was clever enough to organise a photo when she got home, but I didn't. However here is one that Caity took while we at the make-up counter, Cheesy grin & all...

After a great day out - which was also a very busy day as I also went to Gym in the morning, then drove around all the quilting/fabric shops and dropped off flyers for the Toowoomba Quilters Open Day before starting the girly fun day.

I was exhausted by the time I got home but was delighted to find that the postie had left me a parcel wtih the Patrones magazine I won on
Christina's blog . Thanks Christina - it is a great issue!


I love the coat on the cover....
As well as the coats there are great dresses...
and pants - not sure if this straight leg style would suit me but I might have to try them...

I am not sure my sewing is up to this yet but I hope to try at least one item from this magazine by the time we are heading toward Autumn. Hopefully my sewing skills will keep improving!

Keep watching the blog as I plan to have a give-away also to keep this lovely act of kindness moving...

  4. That gray dress is my favorite out of that issue. I had my fingers crossed for Christina's contest. I'll be waiting to see what you make from it. So many cute things!
