Stash Sunday

I went on a bit of a fabric shopping spree a few weeks ago...and this is what has arrived this week!

This is only half of my order from EQuilter....hopefully the others are on there way soon! Wrapped beautifully in aqua tissue paper...they must have known that is my favourite colour at the moment!
The some of the new range of Al Fresco fabrics from Fat Quarter Shop. DH thinks these will work best for the nappy bag....he likes the blue circles one on the bottom as the main outside print...I'm still leaning toward the aqua and butterflies above....
I love they way these fabrics from Z&S Fabrics was packaged...these were on sale and too lovely to miss! With some at just US$3.59 a yard...I dare anyone to resist!

Which strip??? I bought the one on the left on a whim because it was on a sale and I just LOVE aqua at the moment...but I think it works better then the one I bought to go with the Butterfly fabric...it has a tiny silver stripe through it which I like but the white in it doesn't quite fit...??? What do you think?? Left or Right??
I've nenver had this on a parcel before!! Opened by Quarantine. Lucky it was packed nicely again! But they were very heavy handed with the box cutter and sliced right through the docket that came in the box, extra lucky that they didn't cut the fabrics!! Or I'd be sooooo cranky!! And there is a piece of fabric missing from the order...I've sent and email for it to be fixed...I hope one of the Quarantine officers didn't take a liking to my fabric! I've ordered lots from Cabbage Rose Quilting and never had a problem so hopefully they can fix it for me fast!

Wow, you have been a busy girl! I wouldn't worry about the eQuilter order; I regularly receive multi-envelope orders over a few days. I've never had one opened before, either; is there a contact number so you can ask AP/quarantine about the missing item? I noticed the Nest, too. I rather like it - same designers as Full Moon Forest ;) Happy sewing!

I vote for the left stripe too - but then we're looking at a picture rather than the actual fabric ...

Absolutely gorgeous pictures. I'm supposed to be using what I have for a while but I think I might just have to have a browse through the links you gave ...

I came in to say yep the left looks best... but then I spied that gorgeous ladybug fabric at the bottom!! What IS that?! I just have to find it - I can see it decorating some winter clothes for Madelyn

I've just received my firat parcel opened by quarantine! It wasn't fanric though, and since the customs for said 'nutritional supplements' (which wasn't true) I can hardly blame them! It came with a flyer saying nothing had been removed and had some contact numbers. Did you resolve your missing fabric?

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
