Re: Old Salvation Army Church in Murwillumbah

done a splendid quilting job of wine and leaves

Thanks girls ….

The shop has since closed …they decided to stop work as their mum is very unwell and they need to be full time carers……

Hope all goes well

Dragonfly’s
Happy another completed Project…..
This year at the Brisbane craft show ,I literally fell into this stall…..
2 young Girls that go to Japan and bring back gorgeous and very modern fabric…..So different to my usual choice……

Seeing as Dragonfly’s are my favourite…
I just had to purchase this material …First thoughts make cushions covers…..
Every day looking at the material I just couldn't’make up my mind…. so file it away….
Then about 2 weeks ago Place mats came to mind
&
matching Tea Cosy….
Just thrilled with the completed project….
Now I need to find the card
with the girls address for more fabric…..
Just amazing what they had …….and good to see young girls very passionate about the craft……

Ho Ho HO
That time of the year has arrive & so quick this year I feel…………. Are we getting busier each year and our lives just rush past! Or is someone making the days , weeks, months, shorter! Well today I have taken the day off work…. as I am house bound…..Yes that’s awful …but when the Christmas pudding is cooking ,you just have to stay put and keep topping up the water …. This pudding will be travelling to Christchurch this year as we will be spending Christmas with Kylie John Little Ed & Elia …. The recipe that I use has Stout, Sweet Sherry & Rum Looks and smells delicioussssssssssssssssss

We were off and racing for the Melbourne Cup get together at my house on Tuesday 1st November!!
I must say that it was a fabulous day filled with fun, food and friends!!
There was hat decorating, raffles and sweeps.
We enjoyed hat decorating...With prizes for 1st. 2nd, 3rd and "Showing Potential".
Each lady was given a black bag of bits and pieces to decorate their hats with.
The ladies were so creative with their decorating as you'll see from the photos below...
We ate like queens, talked like there was no tomorrow and had a heap of fun!!
I think we were all more tired than the horses that ran in the Cup!

Crabbing Time
is
here
While Kylie Ed & Elia
were over visiting
We decided to have a crabbing trip & over night stay in the boat
well
(Grannie me)
decided that I would take
my Tea Cosy to finish and crochet the flowers on top ....
Hand sewing Place mats binding
So I was very happy..
And fit in cooking on the BBQ
Just before we
pulled up for the night the heaven's
open and then bang
we hit the bottom.....
Wayne the skipper
(husband not a happy chappy)
But there is one good thing about being stuck on the bottom
No rocking all night....
So Kylie caught a large Bream
I caught something soooooooooooooooooo
big it almost spun the boat around LOL
all in all
it was a great adventure
It doesn't matter what happens .....
Just being with the family
laughing and having fun

Ed thought this was a Pirate Ship

Look at Elia playing with Grannies Pin Cushion

Breakfast next morning and Sunshine

Last week I decided to have a break from sewing

Thought it might be nice to do a breakfast set..

And to finish of with some home made biscuits and Herb Tea

Just wonderful...

Well then I decided to make myself a pink tea cosy..

It is so hard to find a tea pot ...
