WOWSER.
Hey and don't forget those cool boardies you got in the men's section at Savemart years ago.
PS Please add a t to your title!
Hey lookit you - rockin the op shop! I only found one sheet today but it is a really pretty one and I feel well pleased.
Would you like some contributions for the quilt? We could add a bit of Sth island love to it.
Nice fabric. I've been forbidden to buy any more until I use what I've already stashed. Sorry the pollen is getting to you. I'm having the same problem and it's making me miserable to live with. Love your "shoutymama" discriptor. I've definitely had too many of those episodes lately.
Aw. Bad, stupid hay fever.
Lookit all the daisies!!
Shoutmama is harmless. Sarcastic, whiney, martyr mother is evil. When she blows through, I spend a few days apologizing and being extra nice to everyone. We are all left off-balance, but the boat, she still floats.
Not only is it lovely fabric, some of it looks strangely familiar. I'll have to post a piccie of one of my latest projects and you'll see.
Fabulous finds! You are a magician with your sewing machine. I have been peeking at your aprons (with baby in arms and no free hand to type with). I love it all, you are very talented Kate.
If Mickey doesn't cure your hayfever then my opinion of the Walt Disney corporation will plummet... Mickey is far superior to Barney the dinosaur. You have taste, ma'am.
ack!! it's now saturday night and i have been sans pooter since half an hour since i posted this. I AM NOT COPING.

My father used to have a real thing about Toni Basil - he denied it of course - but whenever she was on TV his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She didn't cure his hayfever though - he still has that!
