An extra-special design, buying Homespun magazine overseas; and an exhibition

Did you enjoy the Mothers Mania posts on Among the Gum Trees last week?  I sure did!  It was great to learn more about my fellow gum tree girls, and I now have several more “must make” projects to add to my list! :-)

our Jenny has designed the most beautiful cushion, and it is on sale until Sunday 9th May (Mothers Day)… and there’s a very special reason why… but I’ll let Jenny tell you.  Just click on the picture below and you’ll be transported to a special post in the wonderful world of elefantz!  :-)

Jenny's cushion

I’ve just purchased my copy of the pattern and can’t wait to stitch it!  :-)

THE ‘FUSION’ EXHIBITION

Last but not least, do you remember the fabulous felted shawl that my dear friend Narelle made me for my wedding?
