February’s FNSI both virtual and face-to-face!

This month I’ve had two weeks holiday to come and spend time visiting this little monkey….

 And his gorgeous parents of course! 
When my lovely Brisbane-based stitch friend Susan discovered I was going to be down, she wanted to plan some time together.  




I arrived on Saturday afternoon and spent the weekend with my gorgeous grand baby. 

Susan and I got together on Monday and did some serious fabric shopping!   She coordinates a group of ladies who are all making fabric ABC books and I couldn’t resist. After all, lil Ryker is still only 15 months old but it gives me plenty of time to personalise one for him to enjoy. Then we went to her place for a little lunch and some stitching … and she kindly allowed me to search her stash of abc fabrics. Susan is AWESOME! 


Tomorrow we’re off on another shopping frenzy with these two wonderful friends - Michelle and Shez so imagine what mischief we will all get up to! 



And Friday being FNSI, Susan has organised a get together stitchy morning tea/lunch/afternoon tea with all our stitchy Brisbane and surrounds-based friends. I’m so looking forward to it as living in the tropical north, and being isolated geographically and by COVID for a couple of years, I haven’t seen these ladies in what seems like forever! It almost feels like our former annual Lets Get Stitched retreat, only much smaller! I wish Dawn could have been here! Wouldn’t it have been lovely to have our sponsor for FNSI to come up too?   I hadn’t thought that far ahead unfortunately!   

Anyways, I’ll keep you posted on our shenanigans here, and in our Facebook group page!  


In the meantime, sign up to our FNSI here OR in the Facebook group under this month’s FNSI post so you can go into the draw for a gift voucher exclusive to KittyRose Cottage. 

 And don’t forget to post pictures to inspire us all.   
In the meantime, have fun and big sugary sweet hugs to you all

Your grandson is such a cutie pie! If we could just bottle that smile...
Looks like you are up for a super fun Friday. It is great that you will be spending time with good friends you haven't seen in a long while. I look forward to reading about the shenanigans!
Thank you, once again, for hosting Friday Night Sew-In.

What a precious little grandchild! So glad you to travel to see your family and friends. It sounded like a wonderful trip. I have participated on and off with your group for years but things came up. So, now, I am hoping to stick to it as I miss connecting with friends that make things! LOL! It's so inspiring to see everyone's projects.
The ABC book is going to be so cute and he will love it! Take care!

How wonderful that you got to hang with your stitchy friends! I imagine there won't be a whole lot of sewing, but lots of eating and chatting and laughing. Have fun!
