Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Labour Day
(Weekend Qld)
Finally found a day to get my teeth back into this long overdue Quilt .....
I have the black boarders to finish ..
Haven't decided if this is going to be the family
Christmas Table Cloth...
Doesn't
matter in the family
who has Christmas at their home.....
And knowing what the table cloth looks like ...
you have twelve months in advance to think about.....
how you can dress the table .......
seeing 1 daughter
(Kylie)
lives in (New Zealand )...
It could travel with me and then return home .................
And then My Daughter-in-Law
( Yuka)
is Japanese so that could be nice....
and my Daughter
(Natalie)
is always full of surprises..
And when the
Grand kids are older they can have a turn..............
Yes I think this is going to be
The Travelling Christmas Tablecloth......
How Exciting.............
And this year my Daughter Natalie is having Christmas.........
How wonderful
Kylie & her family will also be home ...................
Just love when all are in the one room and I can stand back and look on with love.................
Thanks For Visiting

what a busy 2 weeks I have had....................
over to Christchurch
(Our Little Grandson Ed turn 4)
I don't know where the years have gone....
Ed had a birthday party in the dinosaur section of the Museum...
what fun all the kids had ....
I have post a couple of pictures
of the Tubular Begonias that were on show .
(In Christchurch Gardens) .
Words cant express the beauty...
I would be very happy if I could grow such Flowering Pots ...
Last night we awoke to heavy rain and wild winds
(Broadbeach QLD)..
Morning has arrived and no damage that we can see....
Hubby was up all night worried about his boat....
Well off to the Salvos this morning .......
