Month: January 2011

Wow, January has almost gone and with it our summer holidays. The kids go back to school next Friday (yes, friday, what the?) except Jarrod who starts at Monash University this year, (not until the end of Feb) studying Maths/Computer Science. He is so excited he wants to start now! I am so proud of him for getting into the course he chose, I have a son in Uni!!!

I have settled into my new little office at home as I am now distributing my patterns and books again. I am looking forward to a busy year ahead (once I get out of holiday mode!) and promise to keep you all updated on what is happening in my part of the world!

The first thing to do is finish writing a few new patterns, so hopefully on Monday I can show them to you.

The second thing is to start my project for Robyn at Country Hart, she is doing a Project of the Month with a theme of "My Sewing Room", so if you would like to be a part of the fun, pop on over for more information.

I am also going over to South Australia for the weekend of July 2 and 3 to be a part of Inspired Stitches run by Sarah. So if you would like to come, pop on over to Sarah and sign up!!!

When I am allowed, I will also let you know where else I will be this year, just need to finalise a couple of things!!

OK, I will show you a photo of one of the new patterns, made with "summertime friends: fabric by Lynette Anderson

I have called it "simple times", a little bit of applique and a little bit of stitching!

so I better get it printed!!!

Have a great weekend,

Cheers

Happy New Year everyone!! Well, that was a longer than intended blog break!  I have been here but really have just enjoyed some time off before I start another hectic year.  We have had some lovely weather up until Christmas and leading into the New Year but for the last 8 days or so it has rained pretty much non stop! The good thing about the rain is that we wont have any fires, the bad thing about the rain is it's not good for camping! I am thankful though that we don't have the floods that have devastated Queensland and New South Wales, but Victoria is now getting the rain and some parts are flooded.  My thoughts go out to all those who have lost loved ones and their homes. To help rebuild you can donate here  http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html. 

Here is a little look at my newest design, still have to write the pattern but it will be out soon. I have used Lynette's fabric "summertime friends" which is just gorgeous!

I hope to be back soon with some more news and maybe some more finished projects!!

Enjoy yourself wherever you are and whatever you are doing! and I hope the rain stops soon..

Cheers

Gail
