I have just spent 3 days in Brisbane at the annual @thermomixaus leadership conference and am really excited to share the new TM6 with everyone over the next few weeks, but right now I am sharing the costume I made for the ‘Rock Legends’ themed gala dinner held on Monday night. (It was the best sort of gala dinner- no speeches, lots of 80’s music and delicious food with a room full of amazing people!) I channeled @eltonjohn as my rock legend and had so much fun!!! Sequins, lame, glitter, velvet, fringing, metallics, tulle - this had a bit of everything!#costume #rocketman #rocklegend #horizons2019 ... See MoreSee Less
A friend just shared this with me and pointed out that if you substitute gin for tea it is still true! ... See MoreSee Less

A succulent garden in this vibrant orange teacup (appropriately found at an Op Shop in Orange) is today’s offering of mindfulness and self care. Plus it is a bit of fun!! #tea #teacup #repurposed #crochet #succulent #fakeplant #handmade #quirkyteaparaphernalia #alittlebirdmademeacupoftea #cactus #orange #vinniesnsw #crochettherapy ...

Being away from home has some advantages like time to look at op shops and play with ideas. I have been wanting to make a chicken tea cosy for ages so when I saw this yarn in an op shop I knew I had to try! I made up the pattern as I went and am really happy with the end result! #tea #teacosy #crochet #chicken #hen #opshopfinds #yarn #fluffyyarn #handmade #quirkyteaparaphernalia #alittlebirdmademeacupoftea ...

These are sooooo cute!!
Thanks Meredithe! I am enjoying the fine detail in a way the surprises me! Now I am thinking of other designs to apply in the same way.
I love this – so much detail. Is it hard to do? I haven’t done applique in a long time and I think i’ve forgotten how. 🙁
I didn’t find it too hard – I hadn’t appliqued in years until about 12 months ago. Then I found a tutorial on the Sew Mama Sew website – which taught me about using the iron on adhesive that holds it in place while you are stitching – and now I love it! http://www.sewmamasew.com/2008/07/summer-sewing-simple-machine-applique/
I just went there – I think it will become one of my new blogs to follow! Thanks so much for this.
I am glad! It is one of the blogs that I used a lot when I was starting out last year – and I have been accepted as a guest contributor for November, so am very excited to be able to give back!!
oh yay!! I’ll be watching for your posts there, then.
I love your bikes! They would look great on a tshirt too!
I had been thinking that too!
