whipup roundup

The first week back to school after mid year 3 week break + and daylight savings starting + kids addicted to late night reading = very difficult to get organised and get going to school in the mornings. However I am still determined to feed them a cooked breakfast before packing them off in the mornings – they are often so busy at school that they forget to eat! So quick midweek cooked breakfasts at our house often include eggs – scrambled or fried, french toast in an easy favourite and if I get up early enough I sometimes put on some breakfast muffins – totally delicious and easy to make recipe at red cordial revolution.

fall quilt market 2009

I have been following closely all the blogs – post fall quilt market – with their photos and updates from the market. I am terribly jealous – but maybe next year? Kim from Trueup had an amazing time and she is updating each day with a run down of all the new fabric lines and a whos who of the fabric world – gotta check in daily with her to see what else is new.

Here is a pic of Anna Maria Horner’s stand (from pink chalk studio) – sneak peak of new collection

Jonag also is updating extensively with lots of fabulous photos – here is a pic of heather bailey’s booth from jonag flickr stream.
