Brighton by Name, Brighten by Nature!

After two days on flooding rain in Melbourne, a ray of sunshine came through my letterbox this morning!

I love Brighton Breezy's gorgous hexy pincushions on her blog Pins and Needles. I asked Sarah if she'd like to do a mini-swap. And here it is, my very own red and blue pincushion with a birdy on each side- isn't it sweet!

And I'm very spoilt because Sarah also included some Brighton Rock from the wonderfully-named sweetshop Suck it and Sea, and, because I love all thing apple-themed, some apple, chilli and sage jelly. I managed to resist taking the lid off before I took the photo! Check out the fabric on top-  that'll be making it's way into a quilt soon!

As I was reading my lovely "Greetings From Brighton" postcard, I was thinking how craft blogs are such a fun, friendly place, and how much I like making new friends. Thanks Sarah, I'm chuffed to bits! The pincushion is going in my on-the-go sewing kit, and the rest is going in my tum.

Just can't stop chortling at Suck It and Sea. And so chuffed to bits that someone went ahead and called their sweetshop that...
