And not from the stork either...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think I would cry if there was to be one of those deliveries at my age and stage...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A very happy delivery though!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have only bought from Craftsy once before and it was s.l.o.w.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew this was a gamble...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was surprised at how quick it was,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just under 2 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things are improving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a thing for both rainbows and graded fabric at the moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my reward to myself for the end of year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any excuse, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus it was on sale AND I have the perfect wall for it to hang on...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Who is going to deny me this lot?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, anyone know of a fast and reasonably price long arm quilter out there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who might be interested in a load of quilts in desperate need of attention?</div>

I got some free fabric!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't it just the most beautiful fabric?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple of weeks ago <a href="http://southernfabric.com/">Southern Fabric</a> had a special.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buy a fat quarter bundle and receive the Joel Dewberry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lilac selection of Aviary 2 for free.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find that Southern Fabric frequently have great deals and giveaways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shipping seems to be fairly quick too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This just my opinion and from my experience with this business.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not being paid in any way for this review.</div>

It was rather nice and filled beyond belief.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
a birthday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
loads of presents</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some sewing (not as much as I would like)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 colds - gross (where does all that snot come from???)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a clean up and tidy of my sewing room plus some new shelves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the arrival of some patterns and fabric - but only a little</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
new lights</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
little houses</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the best reaction ever to a note my friend <a href="http://maria-lifeontheblock.blogspot.com.au/">Maria</a> sent me - it was a classic prank with a $100 note,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that really was a note and not money at all...that little face, priceless!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It certainly has encouraged me to move a bit more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has even motivated a few more people at work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to buy them and get moving.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amazing how a little device can encourage a bunch of adults to move!</div>

I've had a cold all week, so when the bell rang at 3:20 pm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gave a sigh of relief.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then fell in a heap.</div>

All I managed was to glue down a few more</div>

hexies for my long term project</div>

"Hex on the Beach"</div>

2 different patterns</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 different interfacings</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 similar but different results.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnW7k1Qc3n15HGIVkB7Mep9G1w48Q9wmVrpVm-H82KRp0OzZ3dIIu4bzEoZEc00GyppMKQ3bPKLUFD9XK8cLl5GQ2u5tBOGkEYSFiEeU6Pc_bxzwljWXyZk-kI6fzfU4vSWbvbeHKg22s/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnW7k1Qc3n15HGIVkB7Mep9G1w48Q9wmVrpVm-H82KRp0OzZ3dIIu4bzEoZEc00GyppMKQ3bPKLUFD9XK8cLl5GQ2u5tBOGkEYSFiEeU6Pc_bxzwljWXyZk-kI6fzfU4vSWbvbeHKg22s/s1600/007.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one was the more detailed pattern in the number of steps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to create the pouch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Towards the end it was fiddly because I was working</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with small pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKsNxdmcn7bFyQHqULtITMd9XGAkCbh4Cg-pGpZ04nA3eoyCBuWoL-2-x4Ekya3RgSKR_5nppwjJCLrl8pzJphlsbvS3aLNIVLUmEGDNTBCThjhhBubPLq2WAmsyJFhGENXRr_x69SRX4/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKsNxdmcn7bFyQHqULtITMd9XGAkCbh4Cg-pGpZ04nA3eoyCBuWoL-2-x4Ekya3RgSKR_5nppwjJCLrl8pzJphlsbvS3aLNIVLUmEGDNTBCThjhhBubPLq2WAmsyJFhGENXRr_x69SRX4/s1600/008.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern called for ironing a fold down the middle of each piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then had trouble ironing out that fold.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it should come good over time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The interfacing was one from Spotlight and held any ironed shape very well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpOCMWgZ-_2582d8kTbHSG7No58NadxTG1FiW0vpVBAeOtEWohsjcq-FwXfJmxy_ucqeiRq2cayVD3MYRKW-a7CrbfL5Vu32zMkQ_VY3yRwUzdaYS5kAzSYgKYtO2Mhi3pDyT6RhmF1ng/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpOCMWgZ-_2582d8kTbHSG7No58NadxTG1FiW0vpVBAeOtEWohsjcq-FwXfJmxy_ucqeiRq2cayVD3MYRKW-a7CrbfL5Vu32zMkQ_VY3yRwUzdaYS5kAzSYgKYtO2Mhi3pDyT6RhmF1ng/s1600/009.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over- all a great pattern and I was pleased with the result.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinzNPFMKbyvMBU3Daaw_yYwcKXubOAVPmiXW3CveO2eyRZexzjXQaSOr02AqBRmIHuU7uR0_ZpWlCaoTtGOfyjjwTnB3vguuso7FzsAQxzj6YaY4sSkNlF0Om8Hwbgb4Jtg55OB7m_Ovw/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinzNPFMKbyvMBU3Daaw_yYwcKXubOAVPmiXW3CveO2eyRZexzjXQaSOr02AqBRmIHuU7uR0_ZpWlCaoTtGOfyjjwTnB3vguuso7FzsAQxzj6YaY4sSkNlF0Om8Hwbgb4Jtg55OB7m_Ovw/s1600/010.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the second one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A different pattern, less pieces and less steps,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
however not as neat on the inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're not into exposed/raw seams, then this pattern is not for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For this one I used Pellon shape flex.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh boy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd never used it before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AMAZING!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought some on e-bay to try as I keep seeing it in patterns.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shops owners of Australia -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
START STOCKING THIS PRODUCT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is firm yet flexible, hence the name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can iron it and it is still pliable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved working with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I prefer the second boxy pouch -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's Bonnie and Camille,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was quick,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was super easy and not fiddly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the shape is better (due to the shape flex).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and these are my first 2 finishes for September.</div>

only I haven't included them in the total because</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by the rules they aren't a finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's one more thing I finished but I can't share yet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as the recipient hasn't got her hot little </div>

hands on it yet...soon.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I ordered hand cream, foot cream, nail polish,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
flatter and a soak kit complete with yarn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My daughter asked me if I bought it for the yarn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I told her no...but it did influence my purchase...slightly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hand cream is lovely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be trying the flatter out later today - I'll let you know what I think.</div>
