of australia.

like to meet us?

i guess you may like to meet us, the 'girls' from broderie and the kingston girls, we are the faces behind this blog 'give these girls ago'.

i can hear screams coming from tasmania, as my cousins shout why did you use that photo, but i have been searching and this is what we look like really, there has been no cosmetic fixing! we are practical girls after all, doing things and happy with our life.

this is me, lizzie, and i am interested in all needlecrafts, papercrafts, love colour and fabric and love friends and family, and also love my own company, am content with my life.

 

this is barbara, loves her home and enjoys papercrafts, patchwork, machine sewing and cooking, a new dog called 'millie' keeps her very fit! and is sister to paula and cousin of lizzie, and also loves her family and friends.

this is paula, sister to barbara and cousin of lizzie. enjoys her home and all things in it and can do just about anything, loves power tools as well as papercrafts, patchwork and sewing almost anything on a machine, her dog lucy and horses zac and prissy. of course she also loves her family and friends.

you see it, you like it and maybe you want it

we are adding things to our pages at a slow pace at the moment, construction is proceeding!

if you see some of these images and like them, then maybe they will be on the appropiate page in the next little while.

papercrafts/ needlework pages

hard hats still being worn

progress is being made and the site is starting to look more as though something new is happening! paula is out today with the ute, helping to move concrete and rubble from a real building site! i have been busy doing alot of behind the scenes admin work and barbara is probably lying around ! not likely! there is a joke in the family that i am 'rewind', paula is 'play' and barbara is 'fast forward', sums up our personalities but we all get on really well.

creating a new look

we are creating a new look for our blog, over the next few days things will keep changing and new things added!
come back and check our changes and items we have to offer.
we are a construction site at the moment, hard hats on and at work!
