New Toy

Like most, Easter eggs were very common throughout our house over the weekend. But there was also a new addition that I can't wait any longer to share. 

My beautiful boyfriend was very spontaneous and bought me a NEW CAMERA!!!!

I have been a camera enthusiast for quite a while and my little old camera is just not cutting it anymore. 

Now I am the proud owner of a Canon EOS 1100D SLR Camera is just so pretty.

With this lovely lense.

And to carry it around a lovely bright green carry bag (that's the Irish coming out in him)

I am having the best time taking photos of anything I can.
We went for a little drive around yesterday afternoon and I had a chance to take a few snaps.

My First Quilt

So I thought I would share my first quilt with anyone who is reading.
I made it when I was only 20. It was made with scraps from my mums fabric stash. 
I even quilted in the ditch myself. I have never quilted my own since this one. 
I always send it away to the lovely Betty, she does a better job then I would ever be able to do.

I love the backing fabric, I have a little obsession with polka dots and strips, as you will notice with a quilt that I will show at a latter date. 


This quilt is a much loved couch quilt and is coming apart. 
I must not have done a great job with the quilting. 

But I love it and it is with me everywhere I go.

So just wanted to share. 

*Sorry for the bad photos, did not have the best lighting.

A little about ME!


So today I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself. 
There is not much but so don’t get too excited. 

I am 22
I am Australian
I am living in New Zealand
I am studying to become a primary teacher
I am studying online so I can do it anywhere and anytime
I love to cook but don’t like to clean
I love food and I eat too much
I love making quilts but don’t have my sew machine
I love fabric and I buy way too much
I love the colour aqua

That’s about all I have to tell
For now…
