Snippets

June 30, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 50 Comments

According to Wikepedia, a Snippet is a small piece of something. Here are a few Snippets from my week….

Crafting

I have been working on a few projects for a magazine. Here is a peak at one of the projects..

Shopping

I couldn’t pass up with lovely Kokka print from Hot Possum

Entertaining

I made up a versatile cream cheese and herb filling which was piped onto cucumbers and mini toasts to make two different savouries. 

Quitlting

I have been working on my String Quilt – 32 blocks done, 16 to go!!

School holidays start next week and I have a week off from my day job. Looking forward to sleep in’s, family time, and lots of crafting.

    Hi girls, love the flowers on a stick, so simple and yet really effective, could be an idea to do with the kids over the holidays. Loving the quilt by the way can’t wait to see the end result.

    I love string quilts! Yours is going to be gorgeous with those beautiful fabrics you picked out. One of these days, I will make the time to make one myself. And those flower snippets are really adorable and charming next to the big lollipops. What a great week you’re having!
