Tues 1 

I love almonds. I found a packet of sliced almonds in the back of the pantry and baked some cookies. I pretty much just used this recipe but decreased the amount of sugar by a bit, replaced the vanilla with almond extract, and swapped the chocolate for sultanas and almonds. Also today, I put some new wildflower cushion covers into my etsy shop. I made two of those vintage pink ones, so I can keep one for myself. 

* two little pieces of local news: *

fabricabrac is a wonderful fabric market taking place in Wellington, Saturday 19th June. As well as having lots of beautiful fabrics, it helps to raise money for Mary Potter Hospice. You can go here for more details.

The Colombian Women's Craft Group, run by Refugee Services in Wellington are looking for donations of sewing supplies like scissors, yarn, paint and brushes, fabric and threads… if you can help out please contact amy dot dawson (at) refugeeservices dot org dot nz

Thanks!

    It’s all about the fabric – I just LOVE the “flower-design(s)” material used for your cushions!

    I love the World Sweet World mag – a real pity that it’s no longer in print. I had only just discovered it (and started subscribing) when they pulled the pin on it. Any suggestions for me of similar mags in NZ?

    hey sarah, yes- it is sad about WSW!
    i like ‘extra curricular’- there are two issues so far and i’m sure more on their way.

    Your pillow covers are just beautiful and so much nicer that you often use vintage fabrics.
    Warm wishes.

    I love the Alice in Wonderland zip pouches in your shop! Although Alice has been made so popular by the recent movie – I am still a fan of hers from the book days. I even played Alice in my class’s 6th grade play. I remember the dress I wore – it felt so special!

    Thanks so much for your plug for fabric-a-brac. It was a fabulous day and we raised more than $1000 for the Mary Potter Hospice, which made the task of sorting and carrying all those suitcases of donated fabric around worthwhile!
