Our Family Holiday

During September, we went on a holiday to visit family near Newcastle. Not only was it Liam and Noah's first time flying, it was new for me too. Luckily, we went on a plane that was more aerodynamic than this one. Our trip also included rides in taxis, trains and Skybus.




We spent a day at Nelson Bay, where Liam enjoyed a babycino. He also enjoyed Noah's babycino too.



We spent another day out and about at Oakvale Farm & Fauna World. There were animals wandering all over the place, including a very enthusiastic goat.



I couldn't resist taking a few snaps of this handsome fellow. Isn't he beautiful?




There were kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, llamas, goats, sheep, chickens, ponies and heaps of other assorted animals too numerous to mention. The kids really enjoyed feeding them pellets that we were given upon arrival.



We even got to pat real, live koalas. They are very soft.




The kids also enjoyed riding on Thomas the Tank Engine.



They also enjoyed the real train. The best part was catching up with family that we hardly ever get to see. Hopefully we will make it back there again soon.

More Lovely Fabric Goodness

This parcel arrived in the mail last Thursday from Hawthorne Threads, only five days after I ordered it.

On top is some lovely voile from Alexander Henry that I am making into a top for myself. Beneath that is some beautiful Laura Gunn Poppies fabric, followed by some Kaufman Playday and some Erin McMorris "Sprout" from her Wildwood collection.

Blogtoberfest 2010

Welcome to Blogtoberfest 2010 - the festival of blogging that goes for a whole month. So much has happened since Blogtoberfest 2009, much of it I believe happened because I jumped in and joined the Blogtoberfest bandwagon last year. I got to know heaps of fantastic people, went on to go to Sew It Together where I met heaps of them and learned many things along the way.
