More pretties

More pretties from the Craft Fair:

Shade card from Bendigo - because, hey, I have some limits and buying huge balls of well-priced good quality yarn was outside the limit (I almost can't believe I just wrote that!!) but you never know when you might need some and it's good to be prepared!
And the fabric from Patchwork on Central Park (colours of the moment - orange and blue, which I discovered is Denyse Schmidt fabric, as a I trawled through their site last night - except for the Olivia fabric, which I bought because I just love Olivia - a most precocious piglet who dreams of being a Degas ballerina, a diva like Maria Callas, a painter like Jackson Pollock and most importantly, loves to wear red!)

I think I may have to take a day off work to get the sewing machine out!
