Today was shaping up to be a boring Saturday. I was going to go to the Craft Fair yesterday but needed to tend to domestic duties and the hunting and gathering so that was that.
This morning Hub prepared to go to the city to take no 3 son to a Trade expo in the city which just to happened to be at the same venue as the craft fair! Well it didn't take long to change plans from boring to fun. Elyte had emailed me to let me know she was going today so I thought it would be a bonus to catch up it we ended up being there at the same time. We caught the train into the city, had a quick lunch then headed of to the Convention centre. Didn't take long till I caught up with Elyte, Robyn and Annie, (&Jo and Mary-who I hadn't met before.)
We spent a lovely afternoon together looking at the quilts and of course the mandatory retail therapy. There were so many quilts that had hexies, I am not alone!
Here is my lovely stash...
some fabrics to add to my Dr Seuss stash.... boy was there so much tempting fabric to add to this collection. But I think I do really have enough- if that's possible?
Lots of really well priced purse frames. These were too good to not buy a few of.
this lovely fabric was a surprise from Elyte for my novelty hexagons. Very cute and I have cut six petals ready to go. Thanks so much Elyte for thinking of me.
Now for Annie who wanted to see some crafting that I have been up to...
Well there has been some quilting (boring to blog about) and a renewed friendship with this stitchery project....
I got so excited I finished the right top corner! Now to work on the left side... I am enjoying it again.
I have also got these little fellas organised for the next lot of Swan Lake hexie flowers..

We got home about 5.30. Hub had had his own dose of retail therapy so we were two happy chappies catching the train home!
No 1 son had some dinner ready and then he started to make a pavlova. guess who got to lick the spatula?
I prefer the raw meringue to the cooked pavlova. Yummmmm
Hope you are having a super weekend too..
cheers
