Lazy Sunday

Well its Sunday already, the weekend is amost over. I called in sick at the flying school this morning, I didn't have any flights booked and I have a cold. We live underneath the training circuit of the local aerodrome, this morning instead of flying over my house looking down, I was on the ground looking up at the traffic flying over. The mornings on the weekend are the peak times for the airport, we get a plane fly over evey few minutes (only for a few hours).

Yesterday was lots of fun, Bron, Alice and myself went on an adventure to the other side of Sydney looking for a Quilting shop that I had seen in a Magazine. They had some amazing fabrics, we were there for at least an hour pondering over which colours and designs we wanted. In the end we purchased an Amy Butler pattern and some funky fabrics to make a bag. I think we will all get together on the easter long weekend (once I have finally finished cleaning out the study) and make a day of it, the picture on the pattern looks fantastic, we will have to see how it looks once I have had a go, at this point I am not feeling so confident that the finished product will be something that I will ever want to use. Today I have posted a link to Flapper Girl Fabrics (In the side bar), I recieved an order from them a few weeks ago (on my birthday), it is much cheaper (less than half the price) to order quilting fabrics directly from the states than get them here in Sydney and it only takes about a week for them to arrive.

Last night we had Chinese at Kylies house and then watched Becoming Jane at the cinemas. The movie was good, maybee one for video though.

On Sunday nights Lauren & Chris often come over (they are coming tonight). Matt is cooking roast chicken and veg. I feel like desert so i made some chocolate mouse to have with ice cream and raspberries (my absoloute favourite food is raspberries).

Thought I would just say "Hi" to my Nanna in NZ, I hope you are feeling better after your operation.

Hi There,

The fabric was from Material Obsession in Hunters Hill, small shop jam packed with absoloutley amazing fabrics. Not as cheap as ordering it on the net from the states but its great to see the actuall colours and size of the designs of the prints (Just for your info, they carry Heather Baily, Amy Butler)
