Sunday SUNday

One of the things that I have decided that needs to happen to have a successful blog, is you need to be able to take a great photo, great in all aspects - colour, composition, subject, quality. I really don't know if I have any of these - except for maybe the subject, because in all honesty I think I have some of the cutest kids around - but hey don't we all? And surely that is the one thing in life that we are able to boost about.

So, when we had such a beautiful day here today and we had been cooped up in the house for the rest of the weekend seen as though Daddy is in Sydney for work this weekend, I thought I would take the kiddies out to the park for a runaround and a bit of a picnic lunch. I also thought I would try and capture some of their moments on film, but got there and the digital camera wouldn't work - damn those little hands finding the camera earlier this morning and running the battery flat and somehow managing to break the lens retreat function as well! So I just had my iphone to try and work some magic. Not sure that you could say I did that but none the less I did snap a mere 324 pics, so surely a couple must be ok. I would really like to get a fancy schmancy digital SLR one day, can anybody give me an idea on a good one? Canon, Nikon, Pentax?? I have no clue...

So here you go some pics of my beautiful SUNday with 4 of my most favourite people :)

(must say though bring on Monday afternoon when Daddy gets home! I will be out that door with my running shoes on - can't believe that missing out on exercise when he has been away is one of the main things I haven't liked about being home alone!)

See told you I still have a long way to go in the photo taking stakes!

Sunday Stash #1

Decided that this might be a good way for me to get into the habit of being a regular blogger, so I have taken Bianca's lead and I am going to start a weekly Sunday Stash Post.

This week courtesy of my iphone seen as though Paul is away and has the camera, I present you with my latest bargains! I got these 2 from The Haby Godess who isn't selling fabric yardage anymore so she was getting rid of all that she had left super cheap, and I got these 2 prints. Unfortunately it is all gone now, and I would say with the prices as low as they were they would have gone in minutes.

On the left is Trefle by Kokka and the other is Arcadia Geometrics in Orange. I have an Arcadia Layer cake and so this will be used for the backing of a quilt once I get around to using the layer cake.

And secondly this is was in one of the boxes that my "dealer" sent over during the week. It is some precuts from It's a Hoot by Moma for Moda and some yardage from the same line, which will also turn into some more quilts.

Ok, well that is the first Sunday Stash, hopefully there will be many more!
