It was a last-minute decision to go to the craft show. You know how it is when you contemplate going somewhere different with a little one - your head is swamped with reasons why you might not enjoy it so you stop yourself going before you even leave. Well, I'm glad that Sarah asked and we went. I got to have a quick look at what was on offer at the show and Lara had fun at the park afterwards all on such a beautiful sunny winter day.
The train rides were hassle-free. The walk from Town Hall station (via Town Hall square, Bathurst st and the pedestrian overpass) to Darling Harbour was extremely flat and easy thanks to the excellent direction given by a helpful postie. The worst part, unexpectedly, turned out to be pushing the pram inside the exhibition centre. Our 3-wheeled pram is not the easiest to maneuver around people in tight places. I hurt my left wrist and couldn't use it at all that weekend. The situation improved slowly before going back to work on Tuesday. But all these typing at work made it worst again. It has been 2 weeks now and I still feel pain in my wrist if I turn it at certain angles or use it too quickly.
Both Sarah and I have inspirations of making our very own patchwork quilts one day. We are starting with something small - pin cushions (I just started tracing the patterns) & Easter wall hangings before we move on to bigger, more exciting projects. 
There wasn't a lot of time to look at all these beautiful quilts. I quite like the red pattern on this quilt.

You started already! I don't expect to be able to start my pincushion until we have moved house :o(. On the plus side, you'll be able to advise me when I'm stuck :o) Will you wait for me for our Easter project??
Of course I'll wait... I don't trust myself to finish the pincushion soon either
