Whoo Hoo...More Huggles Arrive

I am so thrilled ladies and gents...look at the cute little Huggles that have flown all the way from South Australia...they must be tired...OK well maybe they had a little help from Australia Post...thanks so much Pip for these Gorgeous Owls they are so beautiful and very unique I know the children will love them so much.

As Pip tells us on her blog a group of owls is called a Parliament...this implies that those in parliament are wise as owls ???

our tally now sits at 44 Down 56 to go ...how are you all doing out there with this challenge??

Remember to email me here for my address and give yourself plenty of time for the post to reach me before the last day of August.

Ladies if you live outside of Australia or find the postage on stuffed Huggles is just too high, please don't let it be a barrier for you, send me an email and we can work something out. I would not want anyone to miss going in the draw because of those reasons.

My Birthday Money from  my on-line CRAFT group

how did spend it??? well my parcel from the States arrived yesterday and I was so happy, don't you just love your postman when he brings you something nice...

Two gorgeous bag patterns, a yard of Swiss Chocolate Lovely Lotus Fabric and a fat quarter bundle of Espresso Swiss Chocolate fabrics by Amanda Murphy for Robert Kaufman Fabrics.

Awesome fabrics and I can't wait to try out the bag patterns...this may only happen over the school holidays so I better get a move along.

Oh and I still have birthday money left to buy more fabrics, when I get a chance to have a really good look and decide what fabrics I love the most.

Keep up the fantastic sewing you all are doing, I hope life is good for you as well.

Happy Stitching

Huggles Arriving Already...

Wow some of you gorgeous Ladies are fast off the mark...I came home to find on my doorstep a parcel from the lovely Sandra with 6 Huggles hiding inside...along with a $10 donation toward stuffing...thanks so much Sandra I am extremely excited about all these darling Huggles going off to Ethiopia in a matter of weeks (10weeks even).

 I also received these gorgeous Teddies from Lucky and Maria,  7 from Lucky and 4 from Maria...Lucky (Leanne) is co-hosting this challenge so she has opted out of going in the draw (as do I) so more of a chance for others to enter...

I am so excited as these darling little Huggles are arriving on my doorstep, I can just picture the sheer joy on the faces of the children who will receive them.

thanks so much for being in this fantastic challenge and helping bring great big smiles to faces of very sweet little children.

Happy Stitching Ladies...
