Another year older

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. It was a great weekend. One of the highlights was a visit to Signature Prints in Sydney. They handprint original designs by Florence Broadhurst and there was a sale of fabrics and wallpapers over the weekend. So I was first in the door and picked up a few prints that I will post up a picture of soon.

The next highlight was a small party with some close friends. A few dropped out due to sickness, but the ones that came enjoyed this cake made by Monique.


Then last night was a party at my parents with all the family. My dad made me the BEST present ever. A pin board covered with my own printed designs and framed with stained wood. Again, I'll post a pic here soon.

I also managed to make a bag out of some of my newly acquired Florence Broadhurst fab and here is a little peek.

Can you tell that I like red and chocolate???

I love Signature Prints - spent a fortune there last year at their sale but have cherished using their fabrics ever since. Just be careful with any suedettes if you got them - the colour rubs off really easily (as I found out with a red dye on a white fabric it was against...)

Your lovely lovely postacrd arrived last week too! Thankyou!
