well didnt that week go quickly! I finally have the first layer of my new kitchen floor…hooray…we have been able to move everything back in for a while and I was able to have a good spring clean (Leanne would be very impressed..LOL..although she still isnt allowed in my sewing room!) I have been sewing as well and here is a quick peek at a new quilt I am working on for release at the Melbourne AQM (trade show)
I have done 9 blocks and will be on the look out for sashing fabric tomorrow. I am really enjoying the needle turn applique at the moment, I usually do blanket stitch but wanted to do something different, of course I make sure there are not too many tight corners or curves!!
I have also finished the project for Country Threads magazine and will post that off on Thursday, I can’t show you what I have made but I am very happy with the way it has turned out. And of course the week wouldn’t have been complete without a couple of lunch dates with my friends, Melinda, Anne, Leanne and Rosie (but don’t tell my hubby!!), its all about the friendships and the laughs (and tears!!)and occasionally the stitching and sometimes the wine and sometimes the scrumptious cakes (okay a lot of times about the wine and the cakes!!!) but hey isn’t this the only life I have so I will enjoy it……..LOL……
Enjoy!!!

PS I have the new Ikea catalogue…..maybe there is some hope for me yet!!
just a quick post to show you some things I have received today. the first is a little parcel from Connie in the US. She sent me some lovely charm squares…..blue is my fave colour so I am very lucky…..thanks so much!!
isn’t the card just gorgeous!
the second thing I actually bought at an op shop on the way to pick the kids up from school. I had a few minutes spare and parked right in front to see this lovely lovely basket (in blue..how lucky!).
just perfect for a glorious spring day!!!
Cheers

After a fairly quiet day today I have some photos to show you. this one is of my floor, pretty boring but it is my life at the moment
these next two are for bigbucketgirl and her DD,
my blue shoes
and some of my collection of Enid Blyton books (and some dust from my kitchen!!).
oh well, off to try and make some dinner, quite possibly a BBQ outside but it is a bit chilly…..cant wait for my new floor…sigh…
Cheers

Well I have finally got back to the computer after another busy week. I have almost finished some projects for magazines, hopefully they will be sent this week. I worked on Friday and spent Friday night at Mrs Martins with my sister Sharon and friends Sue and Leanne. What another great night we had, those caramel mudshakes were yummy and that lemon tart was oh so delicious! Not a great deal of stitching was done but I think that is to be expected!!!
The weekend was spent restumping my kitchen floor, as it has been eaten away by horrid termites…..at the moment it is a disaster, maybe by the end of the week I may have some kind of floor. Thank goodness they havent eaten anything else!!
I am looking forward to catching up with Anne, who was at Loxton, she is coming to Melbourne this week and Leanne and I will be meeting her at the stitches and craft show…….I will try not to spend too much…..but then again?
hope you all have a great week
I will be back with some photos in a couple of days..
Cheers
Gail xx
