My Mobile


i have loved making the mobile for Elsie's mobile swap! (excuse the pics!) I made a hand sewn, paper bird, leaf and button mobile. Hung on copper, with a brown polka-dot ribbon tie. It was inspired by one of the beautiful packs of origami paper i picked up at the Sallies! (4 packs 4 $2, all unopened!) paintedfishstudio It is on the way!
OK, finally a picture (Really bad one) of Zozo's quilt! It is made from memory fabrics, clothes of Zoe's, mine (as a child), Mum's, fabric from Mum's duvet, fabric from my Mother-in-law, Great-Great Nanans shirt, The girl's dress fabrics...etc!!

jess, I'll forgive you for not knowing what a who-ha is since you're not from the states.
It's another term for our female region. :)

Thanks for the visit.

ooo jess, i *love* zoƫ's quilt, it's absolutely gorgy, love that you've used "memory fabrics"... perfect.
how the heck are ya girl???
our kids are all moving bedrooms at the mo, cos D18's moved to The Big Smoke for uni which means that THERE'S A SPARE BED lol...
so chaos is everywhere and we are all trying not to break our leg hopping over piles.
i hate piles, feel like sucking them all up the vacuum cleaner.
