Huckleberry Market Extravaganza Ticket Giveaway

It's coming! In two weeks time Bella's Patchwork will be making their very first expo appearance at the Melbourne Showgrounds, and to celebrate we have two tickets to give away.

The HBM Extravaganza is a great opportunity to support local small businesses; Huckleberry Market is the leading market in Melbourne currently specialising in boutique and hand made items for babies and children. Our stallholders appreciate that they are showcased alongside other like-minded businesses and have developed a real community.

I have two tickets up for grabs, so for your chance to win one, please leave a comment below. The draw will close 5pm next Friday. 7 March. And please, visit the HBM website to check out all the other businesses that will be involved. 

Raspberry Muffins

I know how much the Mister likes raspberry muffins, so I decided to surprise him with a whole tray of them last night. Love seeing that face light up with a smile.

The recipe is super easy and very tasty. And if you want to be a little decadent just add some white chocolate. Recipe can be found here.

The Almost Daydream

So close!

I'm just waiting for yardage to arrive now so I can get the borders on.

Then it's time to quilt!

Be My Valentine

Valentine's Day has always been a bit of a non-event for me, but with a lovely boyfriend we decided to make the most of the weekend. So on Friday afternoon we made our way to the airport for a little lounge-time, then onto our flight to Brisbane. I worked a little magic to make sure we had the best seats on the plane. 

Once in Brissie we were whisked to our hotel, where we dressed up, then wandered to a lovely restaurant to dine amongst the other couples.Amazing food, including some very yummy pumpkin cheesecake.

Saturday morning we hitched a ride down to a friends house on the Gold Coast, and spent the rest of the weekend socialising, swimming, and just generally relaxing in the sunshine.

 

Great way to spend a weekend when you have an insanely busy week coming up at work (so apologies for the lack of posts lately).

 

 

Beach Time

It's been a bit hectic lately, with work and a couple of big markets coming up. But the Mister and I managed to sneak away to the beach for a weekend. Time out was just what we both needed, and the dogs absolutely loved it too.

Very sad to see the damage at Portsea Beach, but still a great place to swim.

There was a lot of this happening; nothing better than whiling away the weekend on a swing, watching the world to by.

There's a little sewing happening but not as much as I'd like. But I do absolutely love these blocks.
