After living in a small country town for 25years, six months ago we moved further into the country and couldn't be happier. Though I do find myself missing the social aspect from time to time. Having someone close to chat with or tell my latest news. So, after visiting several blogs for the last fortnight, I've decided to give it a go for myself.

Hubby and I have two children, a daughter who went to Uni this year and a son who started work this year but stays in the city during the week. We're still coming to terms with the 'empty nest' syndrome but it's nice in a different sort of way.

When I'm not at work or doing the housework, I enjoy creating patchwork quilts and wallhangings so I will include photos from time to time. I'm one of those who has to have several projects on the go at one time.

Just at the moment I've actually managed to complete two small quilts that I began last October. The top 'Shabby' one was for my niece and the bottom 'Puppy' quilt was for my nephew. I was using up 5" squares in my fabric stash.

I feel more relaxed already sharing my thoughts. Lets see how it all goes.
