Fun Weekend Away

Bag packed?  Check   .....  Sewing basket packed?  Check

Last Saturday 4 girls from our patchwork group headed 340km south to Highfields to attend 'Stitchers Dream Day Out' hosted by The Quilters Angel. Taking our time we enjoyed several stops along the way for morning tea, lunch and of course some shopping.

Sunday we were ready for a day of fun, stitching and meeting fellow bloggers. All was revealed from behind the curtain


and before long we were stitching away on one of 6 projects designed by Nikki Tervo, Gail Pan and Natalie Bird. This is the one I'll be completing.


It was all go at our table ... where did they go? ... out to enjoy some yummy lunch I think.


A highlight of my day was meeting up with 2 lovely ladies that I've been exchanging blog chat with for a few years and it was like getting together with old friends.

Fiona of Bubzrugz who is a fellow "1 Xmas Item A Month" Elf

and we shared our table with Kris of Tag Along Teddies , co-host of OPAM with Peg.

It was so much fun to catch up with blogging buddies.  All too soon it was time to pack up and head back up the road to home. A great weekend with good friends and plans underway for 2013.

Happy Holidays

This is how my Thursday afternoon finished off ... last day of work ... school holidays begin!

My BF Kerry made this gorgeous bunny for our 'belated Christmas/now Easter' swap. I've named her Lindy Lou and she was keen to help me celebrate.

No I wasn't on a lean when I took this photo ... the stump isn't level!


The chocolates were also from Kerry ... this girl knows me too well!
I'll be back later with pics of my birthday goodies from the girls in our Fat 1/4 swap group.
Happy Easter to All

Trying New Things

Having a quick hop around blogland this morning, I came across a 'new to me' widget on Kristie's blog.

If you look down my sidebar your will see 'Visits from my Friends' by the blogfrog. I'm just dipping my toe in the water here and would love to invite you to show up here.

My thought is that it's one more way of spreading the wonderful friendships that exist among bloggers. I would also appreciate your thoughts.

A Bit of Fun

I was catching up with Gina's blog the other day and she had an alphabet meme for the letter 'T'. It looked like fun so I asked if I could play along.

So Gina assigned me the letter 'M'. Here is my 10 things I love that start with this letter.

1. In a blink of an eye, Mocha Coffee jumped into my head. I can't start the day until I've had one of these. I have one of those senseo coffee machines and this is my ritual morning starter.

2. Malaysian Curry. I came across the recipe about 10 years ago and DD adopted it as her special dish. When she was 12years old, her class made a recipe book and this was her contribution. She's now almost 20 and still makes malaysian curry when ever she's home from Uni.

3. Marshmellows. I don't mind them stuck on the end of a stick and toasted over an open flame. I also love them melting on the top of a hot milo on a cold winters' night.

4. M & M's. Mmmmmmmmm! The mini ones in the snap packs make great little treats in the kids lunch boxes and also for mums who need that little chocolate fix during a big day at work.


5. Mother's Day. Usually means breakfast in bed . . . new slippers for the coming winter . . . a nice card . . . lots of kisses and hugs . . . what more could you ask for.

6. Machine - the sewing kind. I'd be lost without my sewing machine. I've managed a space where I can keep it set up so if I get a spare 5 minutes I can quickly sew a seam or two.

7. Macadamia Nuts. A very versatile and delicious Queensland nut. I have a great recipe for macadamia nut loaf. They're ever so yummy in ice cream or coated in chocolate. Half the fun is cracking them open with a hammer without getting your fingers in the road.


8. Melted Ice Cream. It might seem strange but I love to allow my bowl of ice cream to soften, add topping and mix. It's almost like a thick shake but in a bowl and you get to enjoy it for long eating it with a spoon.

9. Mice. This one's a bit tricky. I love the cute kind in their little mouse house running around the wheel or in and out of their little toys. I've always thought I'd like to own a pet mouse. BUT, I don't get on with the outside kind that find there way into my pantry and nibble on things they shouldn't.
10. Milk. As a child I couldn't get enough of it. I still love my milk, just can't bring myself to drink black coffee. Although for some, me included, skim takes the place of full cream.
Thanks Gina, that was fun. If anyone else would like a try, just drop me a comment and I'll send you a letter to play with.
And if you've made it this far, here's a pic I took yesterday.


I've been threatening to pull my zuccini plants out because the fruit just wasn't able to mature. Boy was I surprised when I checked on them yesterday.
Happy Sewing

Good Intentions

Saturday dawned and I had good intentions of getting some sewing done as part of Niki's Last Push Quilt-a-thon. The thing is, DH also had good intentions of getting some paddock work done ... and you know the old saying ... work before pleasure.

I did manage this little fellow while waiting for him to get things ready. It's just a sneak peak of a Christmas Gift I'm working on.



At the end of November I was lucky enough to win this "Old Fashioned Favourites" Pattern from JoyPatch and it arrived in the mail last Wednesday.




These will have to wait till after Christmas but then DD and I will have fun making them all up. She's keen to make the oven mit and declared she needs an apron cause she tends to be a messy cook. Thankyou Joy, we're looking forward to it.


Sadly I didn't achieve much sewing on Saturday, and my attempts at having even one finish for Finn's New Years Eve Challenge are looking grim but there's still time. So I'm going to jump in and join the 'Get It Done Challenge' for 2009. I already have a WIP list on my sidebar along with a list of projects that I have the kits or fabric for so there's plenty to choose from. 2009 will be my year for WIP's, UFO's etc etc. (I hope!)


The heat has been almost unbearable yesterday and today so I'm off to sit in front of the fan and finish a second butterfly. I need to get cracking or Christmas will be here. At least I now have six weeks of not travelling to work so there should be more time for sewing.


Wishing everyone a Special Christmas Time.
