This Week at Guides I received 20 packets of Guide biscuits to sell. It will take me a while to sell them (unless we eat them all first)!
Last week at Girl Guides I made a no sew pillow out of red polar fleece.
You need – A cushion insert
Two pieces of polar fleece that are cut 5 inches bigger than the insert
Scissors
This is how I made it: Put the insert between the two pieces of polar fleece. Then cut strips that are 2.5 inches in length along each border of the square. The strips are about an inch wide. Next tie them in a double knot. When they are all tied, you are done!
Today we received a lovely package in the mail from Bluebird make her nest. She sent us some gorgeous Manila folders, some 70% cocoa chocolate, some of her cute Ella and Kate clips and some pretty fabric. We were very excited when we opened it! It is the first giveaway we have won. Thank you so much Tamara!!

Sarah – don’t you eat all those biscuits!!! – I love the package you got in the mail – I just followed your link over to Tamara’s site – I just loved it as Ella Cate is my daughter’s name – I think I might just have to get her some of those ribbons they are just wonderful – thanks for the link
Glad you girls were happy with your little package. Even big girls can wear some of my Ella and Kate bows! And all girls like chocolate and lovely stationery.
Sorry it took me so long to post.
Hi Sarah – thank you for the fantastic idea for the pillow you made at Guides last week. Tonight I was talking to one of my quilting friends and she mentioned that she has been asked to organise some crafts for her daughter’s Brownie group – I thought this may be something they could do too – so have passed your instructions – and link to your blog. LOVE the butterfly fabric you received in your package from Tamara. Have a great week. Hugs Jx
Lots of good things this post! That butterfly fabric is so pretty. And what a clever idea that pillow! Happy Days :o)
We have a box of G.G. Biccies – well half a box left….I love the ones with chocolate :/ My daughter makes sure we pay up though! Great craft idea with the polar fleece pillows.
Congratulations Sarah how lucky to win such lovely things!
Isn’t it just lovely to recieve pressies..that fabric is lovely as is Green and Blacks yummy. Hub is now going to find an Australian stamp book to go with Milo’s stamps. Thanks again.

love your pillow. i have seen the same thing done to make a blanket.
If I lived closer I would take some of those GG cookie off your hands. Looks good! The pillow is a great easy craft for kids to make on their own, thank for the instructions!
Hop into those Guide Biscuits – we had NO trouble getting rid of the 20 packets. They are too yummy!
Hi Lisa and Sarah – many thanks for the link to the website for the cushion – have passed onto my friend for her brownie group crafts she is organising… How are the bikkies selling 🙂 Am looking forward to our ones being on sale again …. love them sandwiched together with a good dollop of butter – hmmm. Hugs Jx
Do you think I am the only person, alive or not, who has never eaten a guide biscuit!!! I’m sure you will sell them but maybe not to someone like me…
Ahhh, Miss Sarah. If we weren’t separated by a big wide ocean, I would SO buy some of those cookies. But to send them in the mail? The mailman would eat them!
congratulations on winning! Isn’t fun to win a giveaway?
My husband takes the girl guide biscuits to work and they get eaten there! Cunning way to keep them out of my mouth.
I had forgotten about guides biscuit…… Lovely giveaway pressies……. and great pillow.
what a wonderful idea that cushion is I MUST try it. I bought some cute polar fleece at the end of last winter Spotlight had it at a ridiculous price so I bought tons and had no idea what I would do with it! Now I can make cushion!!!
