Fresh ink...

I don't generally share many photos of myself on my blog but I just wanted to pop in and show you my new ink...

...and you all thought i was just completely normal didn't you?! Hehe. 

I find it amusing how quickly people can judge you based on your appearance. For example, I went out to a bar recently and someone implied that I lived in a certain 'trashier' area of Melbourne and that I probably enjoyed a certain kind of music based on the fact that I am tattooed. HA!!!!! I live in a quiet little family orientated suburb with my husband and two kids and I enjoy baking and sewing and crochet and I listen to the most normal kinds of music like Ed Sheeran and Missy Higgins lol...the moral of the story is...never judge a book by it's cover!

As far as sewing goes, I have been fairly productive...

...I finished binding this quilt that a friend has commissioned from me and for once everything worked out first go! All my seams lined up, the cornered of the binding all matched up perfectly...I put it down to the fact that with so much *crap* going on in my life, something is bound to work out eventually haha. 

I'm going to be finishing off a hand embroidered label over the weekend and then it's off to it's new owner...I'm gonna miss this one!!!!

I also realized the benefit of packing away your fabric as you go...

...I spent a good 3 hours the other night re-sorting...argh! Hehe. I probably would have let the situation get even worse except that I had a house inspection this week so I thought it best to pack away the creative chaos that was my fabric pile. 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!
