Needles in the Haystack: A Pound of Flour
http://theneedlesinthehaystack.blogspot.com/2011/08/pound-of-flour.html
Wednesday, 31 August 2011. A Pound of Flour. So the girls and I made pasta today. Just one of those impromptu mommy playdates, you know how it is! Linda and Kym working the pasta machine. Look at all that pasta! The plan was to roll out the pasta sheets and then turn 50% into fettuccine and leave the rest as lasagne sheets. We ran out of bench space jut before we started to cut the fettuccine, so Kym and I went hunting for a broomstick to hang the fettuccine over (old style! Hanging pasta to dry. Pasta m...

Needles in the Haystack: Weekly Stitch 'n Bitch
http://theneedlesinthehaystack.blogspot.com/2011/09/weekly-stitch-n-bitch.html
Saturday, 10 September 2011. Weekly Stitch 'n Bitch. Almost every Tuesday the girls and I catch up for a pre-Playgroup stitch 'n' bitch. We all bring along whatever project we're working on, chat, drink tea (or cappucinos from Phillipa's coffee machine), eat and talk. There's usually a lot of eating and talking. First things first, scones in the oven! Phillipa in her gorgeous Emmeline apron. But I was still hunting for the perfect pattern. I like the Emmeline pattern, but sadly I'm rather generous in...

Needles in the Haystack: Stitchin' sisters
http://theneedlesinthehaystack.blogspot.com/2011/10/stitchin-sisters.html
Saturday, 29 October 2011. Now that school holidays are over, it's back to routine (thank goodness! Which means we're back to our Tuesday "Stitch n Bitch" craft mornings, yay! I spent the morning pressing seams, because my MIL broke her ironing board and I had all my Harry Potter quilt tumbler strips to press as well as my Christmas table runner squares. Belinda is doing an amazing job on her Kookaburra cross stitch - look at that birdie! As opposed to shades of the same colour). Because Phillipa can't h...

Needles in the Haystack: Christmas Tree tea pots
http://theneedlesinthehaystack.blogspot.com/2011/11/christmas-tree-tea-pots.html
Wednesday, 2 November 2011. Christmas Tree tea pots. After a trip to the Guildford Heritage Markets I was inspired to make these cute little Christmas Tree garlands for the school P&C. Two pieces of felt cost me $3, the material was left over Christmas material I had at home, the tea bags were still in the cupboard from Tracey's Kitchen Tea and the crochet cotton was kindly donated by Tracey.
