A colourful Neighbourhood

So it's been about two weeks since I last blogged.  This is partly because I've been busy with other things and partly because I've been doing lots of 'bread and butter' sewing lately and there's really only so many colouring take-alongs and pencil cases you can blog about.  But I think this is one worth mentioning.  Recently I acquired a FQ of Heleen's In the Neighbourhood fabric in pastel, it's so cute, I love the little details like the kite and the butterfly.  I thought it was perfect for a colouring take-along, what do you think?

And also perfect for a pencil case.

One of the 'other things' I've been busy with was a girls weekend away to Wellington.  What a great place to go for a weekend, it was so easy to get around, we walked everywhere.  The highlight of the weekend was the Wearable Arts awards show - fantastic, awesome, can't wait to go another year.  Another highlight was getting along to the Underground markets and buying a few FQs from Stitchbird Fabrics.
