This week I've worked on this little stitchery that our lovely activities coordinators at SS&Q gave out to everyone at our Melbourne Cup night sit and sew. It has a very sweet saying on it that I really identified with. I have a dear friend who I think will also identify with it, so I'd like to try to incorporate it into a bag design for a Chrissie pressie for her. It says... "A woman is like a teabag. You never know how strong she is until you put her in hot water." I know so many strong, competent women so this picture is for all of you!

I've also been playing about with some pincushions, the design of which I found
here. Mine are a little plainer than the ones in the tutorial, but I'm pretty happy with the result anyway. They came together very quickly as promised by Kirsty and I think the little one in particular is very cute. I've had so much fun with them, I think I'm going to do one in felt next.

Today wasn't quite so creative, but lots of fun. I went along with Noah's class on an excursion to the Melbourne Aquarium. It's a fantastic place to visit if you've never been along before. How adorable are these little guys?
