Happy Australia Day, a 6-0 Win, and Auction/Raffle winners announced!

Happy Australia Day to one and all!!! :-)

And what a happy day it has been so far! Mr SUDs recorded the Socceroos vs Uzbekistan match last night from the Asian Cup, and my family of four watched it this morning.

Whoo-Hoo! What a game!

The Socceroos were outstanding and no-one could have predicted the 6-0 win! As I understand it, Australia has never reached the semi-final before in this Cup, and now to get through to the FINALS is AMAZING! We play Japan early on Sunday morning… I might even paint my face green and gold!!! Ha ha!

High Five, boys!

I did feel sorry for the Uzbeks though, especially the Goalie… just look at this poor chap…

Awww, I did feel like giving him a hug - but then I realised that there are plenty of Uzbeks to do that - and I should really be celebrating for our boys!!! Because they SO deserved their win! :-)

I’M SO PROUD OF YOU AUSTRALIA!!

Auction/Raffle WINNERS!!!

I held both an auction and a giveaway for the QLD Flood Appeal organised by the wonderful Toni from Make it Perfect, and her equally wonderful sister, Carli. What an amazing job they did of organising and administering this wonderful fund-raising event.

THANK YOU so much for your support, whether you placed your raffle tickets and bids here, or elsewhere – YOU ROCK!

The lovely Outback Crafter placed her winning bid of $100 for the Springtime BOM pattern-pack. Thank you SO much, sweetheart! I have emailed you and look forward to sewing your bespoke quilt label!

The winner of the ‘Are we there yet?’ travel sewing caddy is Lucky number Seven – Debra from PDTE!

Congratulations Debra! Please send me your snail mail address and I shall get your prize in the mail!

Until next time – Enjoy your Day!

Hugs! Vikki xo :-)

Fireworks and Christmas capers!

WHOOOO – HOOOO!

There were fireworks the weekend before last! :-)

When I saw my favourite soccer team - Melbourne Victory -play against Sydney FC at the Etihad Stadium! Winning the game was consequential because the most exciting part of the evening happened prior to the match itself. My DS participated in the pre-match entertainment!!

Along with 50 other kids from various soccer clubs, Aaron waved a national flag to honour Melbourne’s multi-cultural diversity. Fifty one kids – and fifty one countries. Aaron waved the Guatemalan flag…

Here he is… Hi Aaron!!!

Of course, I had to get a photo of the Union Jack, too!! :-)

While the kids walked around the stadium, drummers drummed and dancers danced for the 17,000 people in the audience. What a great experience. :-)

Now changing the subject completely… are you noticing all the Christmas decorations that are popping up in the shopping centres? Love it! I’m making a couple of special Chrissy ornaments at the moment and will have more on that to show soon.

I’ve also enrolled in Kerryanne’s e-course for making a Christmas Planner…

Isn’t it gorgeous? Even if you haven’t painted before, Kerryanne has some great video tutorials on how to do the various techniques to achieve great results with this project (which also includes gorgeously decorated dividers for the inside of the planner). Kerry’s a fantastic teacher too – I know from experience because I was fortunate enough to have “real life” lessons with her before she made the sea-change to New South Wales. Her video tutorials make you feel like she is in the same room with you… the only difference is – she doesn’t giggle at your jokes!

Oh – and I just had to share this!! Check out the Christmas labels I just ordered…

I also purchased return address labels too – aren’t they cute?! You can add each member of your family and the software takes you through all the different design stages to get the right face shape, hair colour, eyes, decorations etc… If you’d like to design your own bespoke labels, just check out this link!

More to show soon… the SUDs’ hands have been a-busy!!!
