How awesome does this piñata look? Want to have some fun during the school holidays? Want to make a your own? Well I have 2 tickets to giveaway to a fantastic event at the Powerhouse Discovery Centre at Castle Hill. Here are the details:

Papier Mâché Piñata!

Workshop Part 1: 1.30pm–3.30pm, Thursday 5^th July

Workshop Part 2: 10.00am–12.00pm, Friday 6^th July

‘M’ is for Mexico! Presented by Hughes Studio, this workshop offers fun times for the whole family to enjoy together. Each adult and child will create and decorate their own piñata to take home while learning about the construction process of the piñata, as well as the cultural symbolism and significance of this festive Mexican tradition. There will even be an opportunity to try cracking a pre-made piñata in the traditional method...with a blindfold and a piñata stick of course! Please note that this workshop will be delivered over two consecutive days to allow for the papier mâché to dry and participants will need to attend both days to complete their piñata. All materials are supplied.Suitable for 6+ years–adult and young children must be accompanied by a responsible adult or older sibling.




Leave a comment on this post or on the post on Facebook by 8pm Saturday night and I'll let you know on Sunday if you are the lucky winner. If I can get the day off work on Thursday I'll even see you there.

This quilt had been a long time in the making. I got these Dream On charm squares way back in 2010 I think. The top was finished way back here . I ended up putting a border around it in white and also some of the sheet I backed it with.

I blogged about this vintage sheet way back here. It ended up going so well with Dream On. I had lots of help from Peta and Sheridan do the basting for me, otherwise it would never have been finished and I did the binding at Sew It Together.

 

It finally stopped raining so I could wash it and I put it on Charlotte's bed tonight and I'm happy to say she loves it. Now to finish Lucy's.

I've just gotten back from a fantastic weekend in Canberra for Sew It Together. A big thanks to Sheridan for all her great organizing, to her right hand person Donna and to Gillian for organizing the name badge swap.

This was my gorgeous badge made by Lisa

Once again I organized the sample swap with 32 lovely ladies participating.

 

I got some amazing goodies

Gathered clutch from Karen

Pillowcase from Leah

Tote from Peta

Earphone holder & sewing kit from Donna

Fabric basket from Maryann

Fabric flower from Sara

Bird cushion from Lisa

Needle case & pouch from Jules

Zippered pouch from Fiona

Cushion cover from Bronwyn

I did a little scratchie and vintage book envelope for everyone with the groups on it.

Thanks to Claire and Sophie for being great roommates. Can't wait for next year!

 

I did some shopping at the Yardage Design sale earlier this week and it arrived yesterday morning. I absolutely love it all, 2 tea towels and some fabric, not sure what I will do with it yet though.

I'm off to Sew It Together tomorrow so if you follow me on instagram you might see some photos pop up.
