Today was the big day.
The day some of us got to meet "Trash" in person! Originally a Ballarat resident, she now lives in the UK with her husband and two children. They had made the treck "home" to visit the rellies and do some sightseeing for a few weeks over Christmas and the New Year.....
Thanks to Ric-Rac and her organisational skills we started off at Ballarat Patchwork for fun, laughter, crafty talk, door prizes and asking poor old Trashy 100 questions! 
Then we progressed to the Eureka Park for a picnic lunch...
Some bloggers (not to mention Trash coming from the UK) had travelled far and wide.....

Then it was back to Ric-Rac's place for afternoon tea and more crafty talk...Trash had even brought some crafty loveliness from the UK as pressies for us all.
It was great to meet you Trash. A fun day was had by all.

Lovely to meet you and the others today; wasn't it fun! And yes, I would love the chance to win your gorgeous goodies - thank you so much, Kathryn.
Kathyrn, I see the wonderful bow buttons in your offered gift that was used by Tracy to make your In the bag quilt! I just love those buttons.
I read your blog mostly because I enjoy hearing about your boys. I just loved your tree this year. It reminds me so much of when my boys were little. I still use all their handmade ornies on my tree, even though they are now in their 30's. I also loved that your hubby suggested the sleeping back to the dolls! What a sweet family you all are.
I'll post your blog later today when I post some photo's on mine. Thank you for including us from the states.
Your pics look great Kathryn. It was such a good day too and my kids are exhausted!
Looks like you had a great day, I was so close to coming except my husband had to work. I'll try for next time. Your giveaway looks so pretty, count me in.

Congratulations Kathryn on passing your 100th post. What a wonderful giveaway too...wouldn't we all love to win that!!
I love that idea of a blogging picnic. Was it lots of fun to meet the other bloggers?
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Hi Kathryn,
Congratulations on reaching your 100th post-
The blogging post looked like great fun-
I have to say it is strange to think of you having a picnic at this time of year but here in Canada it would be very cold sitting in the snowbank LOL. It is great to see you all having a great time together.
The giveaway looks lovely -please
count me in ,,,
Regards,
Anna
wow sounds like fun! =)
Hi Kathryn, Count me in! Sounds like you had a wonderful day. Blessings :)Kylie
Fabulous giveaway! Please count me in!
This is the most gorgeous giveaway I've ever had the pleasure of viewing,please count me in also!
I saw your post referred to at Country Cupcakes and wanted to lend you a little support for your beautiful giveaway. I like your stuff! You are very talented.
I need to spend some time and read through your blog now to get an idea of all the "goings-on" at the shabby cottage. (I had to do a double take at your moniker as you refer to yourself as a sewer, and I at first read "sewer" as the other pronounciation. Sorry about that!)
What a generous give-away. Please count me in!
Such loveliness, I would sure love to win. Thanks for the chance and keep those posts a comin.
