It was very overcast this morning but still HOT and Humid.

Yesterday there was another squishy in the mail. It seems Australia post decided it had to be checked before delivery. Not sure what they thought would be in my parcel but I was very happy with it’s beautiful contents….

As the recipient no longer wants it, it has become an orphan…  Sad smile  I think I will set up an E-bay Account and try and sell some of my unwanted quilts and fabrics !!!!!! I seam to have quiet a few of both !!!!!!!

  1. Send some of that heat our way. My bones need some.

    Lovely squishies, Maria. The crochet is beautiful.

    How about an Etsy shop to sell your things?

  4. That quilt is amazing
    How someone couldn't want it is beyond me
    I know a little girl who would love it

    Selling fabric is a good idea - one blog I follow just did hers via her blog and emailed people her bank account details

  8. Man had the hottest night last night 30degC.
    Squids and I spent the morning at the beach it was beautiful.
    Shame the quilt is a orphan, but it will end up with some who will love it to bits, thats what your work deserves! Because you do beautiful work from your heart. Some people are blind to this.
    Love DD2

  9. Lovely gifts, I have sold some UO quilts tops on ebay that I fell out of love with but had no lucK selling the finished quilts. Try ETSY, its a site for vintage or hand made items and easy peasy to open a shop.

  10. My niece would love that quilt! Her favourite animal is a giraffe. She calls them "daff" as she's only 2! How much do you want for it?

  14. An orphan quilt? Golly me, what a shame. I'm sure you will do well, if you choose to sell your excess stuff.
    the beach bobbing looks relaxing, and yes the weather has been ghastly, don't you just loathe the humidity?! We've had it today too.

  15. glad the goodies arrived safely! That little quilt is lovely. Etsy shops are easy to manage, but I'm guessing your cute quilt will get snatched right up by a blog reader!

  16. Enjoy your heat - we're at the opposite end of the spectrum here. I love that you mistakenly called it "boobing" with your friends. Or maybe that wasn't a mistake :)

  17. ok.. so what are your girls doing in that water???? "boobing"... hahaha... (I know exactly what you meant!!!)
    love the quilt and ebay is a good alternative... also I have heard a number of people having success with etsy as it is specifically hand made...

  18. I wanna go bobbing! But no... we're expecting more snow by morning. I hope your quilt finds a good home. It's to cute to remain an orphan for long.

  19. Shame about the orphan quilt, who wouldn't want it. Your work is brilliant and you are so clever with colour. I'm sure one of your blog readers will want it. My family all left today and I'm exhausted, will be at South beach tomorrow tho'.

  20. That is a gorgeous quilt. Have you considered donating it to a local children's charity - to either raffle off or to give to a seriously sick child. HeartKids (in South Australia) is always looking for quilts as they give one to every child who has surgery, I am sure it is the same everywhere.
    Otherwise, why not just create a blog post and sell your quilts etc that way, first in, first served.
