He's done! Ayden has finished his Magoo and here is the proof! A bit tricky for 14 year old Ayden but with a little bit of help he is finished. He is posing against a pillow Ayden also made for Duke of Ed, to get a lot of practice sewing straight before I would let him get too complicated with my sewing machine. I have found through experience that playing playstation rally games then going onto a sewing machine don't work... Well done Ayden and thanks Melly & Me for the chance to win this fantastic pattern.
I've taken a carer's day from work with all the kids home from school and Maya's creche closed for the day. We have been off to McDonalds for lunch for a bit of a treat and tracked down some new bathers for the boys. Why didn't I get them at the sales... now that would have been good thinking.
And look! I've got some of my Living the Dream quilt pieced togther. I am so pleased with it. It has been sitting on or near the dining table since December all cut and ready to go in a fat quarter bag. I just love the fabric and now the piecing is over half done.
Our house is still full of chocolate Easter Bunnies and a few bilbies, never mind the MASSIVE easter egg that Matt gave me (imaging hopeful children saying "can you eat chocolate with your braces Mum...") Of course! if I try.
I've seen a few very nice bunnies popping up around blogland from Lucy's Easter swap. I can't wait for my bunny to arrive and see what Lucy has been up to.
I hope your Easter was very happy and a bit of stitching or crafting was done over the break.

Melly sent us over to check out Aydn's monkey. It looks great.....
Ayden's Magoo is amazing! And your quilt is looking so beautiful - I love the colour combinations.
I'm getting anxious now about whether you will like your bunny! I'm also feeling bad because I didn't include any chocolatey goodies with him but I was concerned about the customs regulations!
I really hope you do like him!
Take care, Lucy x
Congratulations to Ayden! I love his magoo! And I was very happy when he won the Melly & Me contest - his dino was cheery and fun and my favorite of all the submissions. :)
I think that Magoo is one of the nicest Magoos I've seen so far! He's gorgeous!
Well done Ayden. x
YAY AYDEN!!!!!!!!! He is just so fabulous and I am so thrilled that you showed us all your amazing work again! Enjoy your Magoo and dont stop sewing!!
Ayden did a fabulous job of his Magoo - it has great personality! It is great to see boys sewing - hope that there will be more projects to inspire Ayden in the future.
Found you via Melly, so thought I'd say hi. Your quilts are amazing and I love the adventure bag, and the lion one too. I wish my sewing was as good as Ayden,s

Well done Ayden on Magoo!!! I really must have another go at that pattern. Love the silly bunnies too.
What a fabulous Magoo.
And I love the colours in that quilt.
Clever people you monkeys!
