Literary treat

This is the book I'm reading at the moment (it's WONDERFUL!) and

I'm really thrilled that Anna Funder has won the Miles Franklin Literary Award.

Also... totally over the moon that she's given award-scrappers here in Qld a telling 

off as well! I think I actually hooted out loud when she referred to those here 

with "dictatorial inclinations"! :) So funny. Congratulations Anna!

Mailbox Magic

I've just had some mailbox magic happen here this morning... 

Tomoko Nakamichi's new Pattern Magic Stretch Fabrics book has arrived!

Even better, it's in English :)

I'm still buried in other projects here but I'm sooooo looking forward 

to doing some sewing soon. These fab books are pretty popular 

these days so I'm sure you can buy them all over the place. 

I found mine here.
