Engagement parts & todays Favourite Blog

On Sunday Haylee & I went to the engagement party of her School Friend Amy. Haylee is to be one of Amy's bride maids when she gets married next year.

It was a nice chance for Haylee to catch up with Amy - who at the moment is living in Townsville, but will be moving back at the end of the year and Sarah who lives in Sydney.

Haylee, Amy, Melinda & Sarah.

Amy's family - dad - Ross, fiance - Steven, Mum - Lyn, Nan, and brother Chris.

Cutting the cake.

Today's blog is one that I am sure many of my sewing readers would be very familiar with - The Moda Bake Shop . I just love browsing the archive to see what they do with the different Moda ranges. I get so much inspiration from this blog and have earmarked many of their projects to do one day, I have made a few items and have bought Moda fabric after seeing a project using it even if I dont make that project.

I am also going to share with you Scrap of Faith -a Christian Craft forum that I have been a part of for many years. A few years ago I was asked tobe on the Design team to contribute OTP projects . We originally started as a scrapping site but have now moved into all crafts. We believe that we can and should take a scrap of faith into everything that we do, including hosuework, baking, gardening and of course craft. This year we are focussing on encouragement and are about to launch our new monthly challenges.

We are hosting a retreat next February at the Tops Conference centre, Stanwell Tops.
