I'm starting to wonder if I should change my posting schedule to Sunday? It seems to be more achievable for me lately. After a busy week I went to bed at 9.30 on Friday evening. Those of you that know me will understand that such an early night is almost unheard of for this night owl. And I slept for a full twelve hours!
Anyway, I did get a few things done this past week - first up, I'm entirely thrilled with this lodestar ornament - the pattern is another by mmmCrafts:
It's so pretty! The pattern is for a tree topper, but there are options to make smaller ornaments too - thought I'd mention that if you go looking for the pattern for yourself.
I also completed the binding on Camo's aviation themed quilt - so glad to be able to have it done in his birthday week:
Rowley wanted to be involved in taking a photo of the finished quilt, and how could I say no to that sweet face? My dear friend Lizzy did a lovely job of quilting with a cloud pattern, and even helped me track down some more of the green fabric so I could use it in the binding. I am so lucky to have such beautiful friends xox
And last of all for today, on Tuesday I had an urgent sounding call from my Mum alerting me to some Copeland Spode Byron pieces that were at the Op-shop. Of course I dashed over to pick them up and was so surprised to find this:
There were six place settings in total of all the things you see in the picture. The two handled soup bowls are just darling, and to have a coffee service with demi tasse cups was such a surprise. I don't know how I'll squeeze it all into the buffet cabinet, but I'm sure I'll manage it somehow. And when I tell you that this treasure was only $32 dollars, you'll understand when I say I feel like I won the lottery.
I'm not sure what I'll work on in the sewing room this afternoon, I have so many things I can choose from, but you can be sure I'll find something to do. Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, chatter soon! xox

That is an amazing op shop score. Lucky lady.
Love the star ornament, I'm off to look at the link.
yes the ornie is adorable...and oh that china! what a find
It doesn't matter when you post, it is always a pleasure to read your post. The star is amazing. You did an excellent job, as always. Thanks for the link. You did score BIG with the Copeland Spode Byron. What a treasure this is. Give Rowley a big hug for me, please. Enjoy! ;^)
instead of blogging on a schedule why not blog when you feel the urge to write and share photos. So many put themselves on a schedule and it feels like work not fun/sharing
I agree, it doesn't matter when you blog just continue to do so.
WOW, WOW AND WOW on the dishes what a steal. Congratulations on it. I can't wait to see it used.
The star is very pretty.
Rowley is gorgeous and so photogenic. I am sure Camo will love the quilt.
Take care and yes, don't make it feel like a
chore, just post when the urge strikes.
Twelve hours of sleep sounds wonderful. you probably needed it, too.
Beautiful star!
How amazing to find the china, and at such a great price! It wears a glorious shade of green!
Lovely post to read and Rowley is so cute!! Great find with the china and your Christmas star is so pretty.
Oh wow, you did win the lottery! They are gorgeous!
