Happy Holidays

I have just returned from a lovely week in Western Australia where I stayed with a friend who lives there and we travelled down south to Albany where her son and his family live.....I have been to WA many years ago but never to Albany so it was lovely to see a bit more of the land where I live.  Her son has a farm and it was the first time I have ever been to a farm and had a ride on a whizz bang tractor.....I will post a photo once I receive some and also of the cows and their sweet calves.  But here are a few shots from my holiday, as well as a photo of the gal I made as a thank you for having me stay....Sue has decided to call her "Floss"....

Yes, of course I had to take a photo of the sheep!!!

Slack and busy at the same time

Hi all, I have been very slack in keeping this blog up to date....have been busy busy busy doing a variety of things...Actually, I really don't know where the time has gone....
Firstly I need to update those kind people who commented on my previous post...I decided to make my stitchery for both Catherine and Doreen....I haven't forgotten you ladies...after I have completed one major project which has a bit of a deadline...then I'll get cracking with your stitcheries....
I had my birthday on Anzac Day and a friend was visiting from interstate...that particular weekend I went out for lunch on the Friday, had my friend and her family for dinner on the Saturday and then gave myself a little afternoon tea on the Sunday....I think I have been recovering ever since....It was lovely to have friends come together and share in my Birthday...usually the day is mainly spent with my family...so it was fun to share it with a few of my dearest friends....of course I forgot to take a photo of the cupcakes I made...this was the best photo....they were white chocolate mud cupcakes with a white chocolate ganache icing....and I made some cute blue buttons from icing modelling paste.....very yummy and a big hit with young and old....


I have been busy making a project for a friend and am not able to show it off just yet....just let me say that I am pretty chuffed with it so far.....


I am however able to show you a completed project which I made for my friend Sue for our Christmas Stocking swap....it is quite a large sack and I had fun making it....I just hope I can fill it adequately....

Well, I think that's about all I will share for the moment.....I won't promise to post again really soon....will just see how I go....
