4th of July Celebrations

Yay I finished a project.

I saw a blog post by Wild Olive today which gave a tutorial on how to do pistil stitch so tonight while we were watching some 'Bush Tucker Man' I decided to give it a go.

This was also a bit of fun for me because on 4 July 2012 my husband and I were in New York and sat on a closed off piece of highway to watch Macy's fire works.

Oh the memories...

Anyway, here are tonight's efforts :-)

Bras and Tats

I really enjoy going to my craft group each week. Not only are the ladies absolutely lovely we also tackle group projects which are both fun and meaningful.

Recently one of our members has been undergoing treatment for breast cancer. To help this wonderful lady and her friends raise money for their entry into 'The Weekend to End Women's Cancer' a few of us have embellished a 'bra block' which will make a black white and red themed raffle quilt.

Tonight I finished my block. Ta-da

Most importantly I want to work towards creating a happy healthy home and way of life for my family.

This is a blog to record all the different projects I work on that bring mecloser to achieving my goal of a pretty and simple lifestyle.

Join me and watch my progress. Exciting times are ahead.
