Catching up on my blog reading last night, I discovered that the lovely Anna of "blogless anna" and her fellow sewing bloggers, have organized another " Fabric Restash" event in Fairfield this Saturday. Hop over to her blog for more info.
I had a sort out a while ago, and have a box & a bag of fabric to donate/ swap, as well as some yarn I just sorted through on the weekend. Anyone interested in coming?

I haven' t made any new tops for a while, and some of my previous makes are looking a bit worn from washing & wearing- so I made a couple more! Plus I found a gorgeous vintage look jacket at the op shop last week ( 1st pic)
Bright orange tees- made from an offcut from RRems- there was enough fabric for a peppermint jersey long sleeved tee and a scoop tee.
The fushia/ grey stripe is from super cheap fabrics I think, as is the red/white marle- which is slippery and was a bugger to sew, but feels lovely to wear!
My latest op shop find- cute grey ankle boots. Pretty sure they are brand new. I googled the brand, and apparently they retail for around $220!!! Bargain at $16 then ( 'cos I don't think I have ever paid anything like $220 for any item of clothing/ footwear, ever!).
They are great for work because I can quickly zip them on & off when visiting a " shoes off" house, and when crawling around on the floor with kids - much quicker than my boots with laces!
I was quite inspired by this book I found at Savers recently, I like the story telling and other ideas - it even includes a couple of recipes. And I have bookmarked a few pages in some craft magazines, looking for ideas. 
Another wonderful display, so many coloure, very inspired by the variety of shawl patterns. I want to "knit all the things"!!
Just some of the photos- more to come!
As promised, here are some ideas for using the marvel discs - these are aimed at younger children/ preschoolers.
Muffin trays (and egg cartons) are great for sorting and counting small items like buttons, mini pom poms, coins or discs
