Excuses Excuses

It seems that I am always starting off my blog posts with a long time no post, where has the year gone blah blah blah comment and here is one yet again. Really, I cannot believe we are over 1/2 way into September...and dare I say it, only 3 months until Christmas...aaaaarghhh....
So with all that off my chest, here is a little of what has been not really keeping me busy...you see, I haven't really done much in the way of sewing since May....I have nearly completed the 5 quilts for the children of one of my friends...just the binding to be finished on one of them....these have been on the go for a couple of years....so it will be a great relief to finally complete them....but I have also been distracted by other things...including playing with my new toy...my Apple I-Pad....it is so handy....I just love it!!!

This past weekend has seen me have a night in town seeing this.....and staying at this Melbourne Institution....


Yes, last night I went a saw the Melbourne Production of Mary Poppins...one of my favourite childhood movies...It was FANTASTIC!!!!  I could easily go see it again....the sets and costumes and dancing were wonderful....

Beforehand I went and had an early tea at Pellegrini's Espresso Bar.....where I had the yummyest (sp?) Lasagna and Watermelon and Lemon Granita....


And I shouted myself an overnight stay at the Windsor which was really lovely

How are these flowers in the foyer of the Hotel???? Just beautiful!!! and of course, I am quite partial to the blue and white bowls...

and finally, here is a photo of a little lady I made a while ago....I used some of the vintage fabrics given to me some time ago....
Well, that's about it for now...hopefully I'll be back a bit sooner next time... we'll see how I go!!!  Till then..stay well.
