Along Came Martha

With help from Miss Bella, I emerge into the chaos that is Unique Babeez Headquarters.

Bella is very excited at the size of me

and quickly whisks me away for a well deserved rest!  With all my travelling across the country I really did need a boost of energy!  I had a nice nap with all the other dollies in Miss Bella's bed.  Miss B even let me have prime position on her pillow while she slept on a cushion (such hospitality).

After my rest, all recharged I decided to investigate Unique Babeez Headquarters a little more .... and this is what I found...

UNDIES!!  Oh, how I wanted a pair of my very own!  So Patricia let me dive into the Great Wall of Fabric to choose my favourite design.

While my very special pair of Undies were being made I toured the rest of the house with Miss B.  It was then a mad dash to Kindy to pick up Master Lachy.  Reluctantly, I said goodbye to Miss B, Master L and of course Patricia to continue my travels.  My next stop will be M's Cute Bottoms.

More than just a Facebook Group

We are a group of women, who for the most part rely on Facebook for all our interaction.

We were started by 4 ladies who wanted a place for like minded crafty women to share their passion, but it has become so much more....
Some of us have been invited into the group by people we know "in real life", others have been invited by someone they have met online through the selling and purchasing (and supporting) of homemade wares.

We all started out with one thing in common, but soon found we have much, much more.....

We have shared the joys of pregnancies (and there have been many - beware of the TSS fairy dust!) and the heartbreak of not being able to fall pregnant and the devastation (and celebration) of the birth of a precious Angel Baby. Some of us have had health issues and we all have vented about the frustrations in our lives. And, as any real sister would, we all listen.... we offer each other advise and lend a "listening ear". We discovered that many Angel Babies are watching over us, that several of our sisters have had to endure numerous miscarriages and rounds of IVF to finally fall pregnant with their beautiful children. We discovered that someone else has been through that terrifying health scare or have husbands and children that sometimes simply DRIVE US CRAZY!!

Some of us, since the group began have traveled across the country to meet up at Craft Shows and Retreats and also to honour our precious Angel "Nephew" - remember that many of us had not previously known each other "in real life".

We are forever SISTERS and although we sometimes have differences of opinions we are always there for each other. There is always a listening ear, a comforting word - and let's not forget the original reason The Sewing Sisterhood started - we share our creations and inspire each other to try new things and encourage each other when we doubt ourselves. It is even possible that we lead each other astray in regards to the purchase of fabrics or patterns or other crafting essentials (did someone mention a sale???)

So yes, we are a Facebook Group, but we are much much more....

Martha hits the Gold Coast!

Martha arrived at the beautiful Gold Coast to some interesting weather!  Torrential rain and gale force wind meant Martha wasn't able to get out and about to explore this usually sunny city.  After a lot of travelling though, Martha was quite happy to unwind and spend some quiet time with Bernie from Tea for Evie and little Miss Evie herself.  17 month old Evie took great delight in showing Martha around their home, introducing her to the cat, and taking her for a ride out on the deck on her trike!

After the initial settling in, Martha enjoyed spending some time in Tea for Evie HQ, and helped select vintage fabrics for the new collection.

Crafting is not without it's dangers though, as Martha found out when she went to rummage through a big suitcase filled to the brim with upcycled doilies!

Martha recovered with some new friends, the Tea for Evie ragdolls, and relaxed over cups of tea.  They used the special vintage teacups for the occasion and had a very ladylike indoor picnic!

It's safe to say Martha is quite the seasoned traveller by now, and I think she is already daydreaming of big overseas adventures.  I found her brushing up on her French, and planning some fabulous destinations.  This is a girl after my own heart, oui!

Martha had a lovely time with us and is well rested for her next round of adventures!  We gave her a big hug goodbye and sent her to our friend Patricia at Unique Babeez.  We can't wait to see what she gets up to next!
