Resting

The weather had changed dramatically over night 

Making me hurt more, but I’ve been feeling it coming so I’ve not been sleeping 

Well at all. 

So I’ve had sleep ins the last few days and not got to the pool to swim 

For the same reason I have been just going slow and spreading my daily chores and resting frequently 

I Had some scraps from a few bags I made the girls so I decided 

To try and make the booties pattern bigger 

I’ve made these for them. 

They might be a tad big  but I guess they will grow into them 

I will purchase some of that puffy pain and paint some spots underneath to stop them slipping 

It’s Friday and I’m very ready for the weekend 

A cold blast is predicted and we might even get snow on the mountains 

So I’ll be spending the next few days inside 

And probably with the fire going 

Winter is on its way 

Stay safe and well

See ya xx

Long weekend

Easter long weekend was lovely, sunny and very warm 

We decided to spend some time in the garden. 

We weeded and added organic blood and bone 

Some lime to sweeten the soil

Mulch 

And planted more seedlings 

We still have chillies producing and eggplants have flowers so I’m hoping we will get a few before 

The weather turns really cold 

My Camilla's are flowering 

And promise to make a stunning boarder in a few years 

Today I got out my quilts, the ones I still have.

And decided to display them on my old clothes horse 

I would love to get one of those old fashioned ones

But for now this will do 

There is even room for a couple more! 

Our newest granddaughter is due one week from today 

So we are all just waiting now for her to make her appearance 

Life is just moving along

Greek Easter is in four weeks 

So we will do the egg thing again then

Hope you all had a lovely Easter 

Or Passover

Or just a nice break 

See ya xx

Continuity

I made this patchwork top in my old craft room 

It was packed away when I emptied the room

And then moved into the new one 

But I had kinda forgotten about it 

Until I spied it the other day 

I even have the binding cut up and ironed for it 

So today I pinned it all together so that it can be quilted 

It was good to be able to get it moving along and closer to finished 

I had forgotten how long it takes to pin it all in place 

Here it is all done and now ready to be take to the machine and quilted 

When the mood strikes me lol 

It’s a single bed size so I’m going to have to pick a day where I’m feeling energetic 

Once I quilt it and sew the binding on 

I’ll be able to sit in front of the television and hand sew the binding to the back 

It will still be a few weeks yet before it’s finished 

But that’s ok. It’s all about the journey not the destination 

I’ll post pics when it’s all done 

It’s kinda nice this project has spanned the two craft rooms 

Hope your all well and happy 

See ya xx

Making pretties

I have been busy working on my stitcheries in between yarn and sewing projects.

Because you know. Variety is the spice of life lol 

I do like to mix it up. 

Anyway I decided I would make a wall hanging for my craft room 

What do you think?,

I just need to add a hanger and maybe some tabs from which to hang it from 

I have seen some hangers that have clips so I’ll wait and see what kind I get 

But I have the perfect spot so I’m excited to get it up on the wall 

A trip to the craft store for me I think

The weather here has turned wet

It’s not cold but it feels damp and yucky

I’ve been swimming and I’ve just come back from knitting group 

So the rest of the day will be spend at home 

I’ll find something to keep me occupied 

See ya xx 

Sharing is caring

A fellow blogger asked where did I get the pattern for the bunny

Bags from 

I followed this you tube. They show you how to make the pattern which is really simple 

Give it a go and post the results 

I’d love to see them all 

See ya xx

Fender bender

This morning on my way to the pool I had a slight fender bender 

I pull over and speak to the other driver he doesn’t speak English so he puts me on the phone to his son 

Well what a rude young man that was. Started yelling at me told me he’s dad explained it all it’s my fault and no he won’t give 

Me his details 

Me well I just told him I wasn’t going to argue and I was calling the police 

Now up until their moment it was not going well for me BUT 

the lady on the end of the phone was lovely and calmed me down

The police who attended were lovely and were genuinely concerned 

My son who I rudely rang and woke up came to my rescue promptly and looked after his mum

I also rang a friend who drives a truck and I know he is on the road at that hour, to talk to me and keep me from losing 

My mind.

Then I get to the pool 

The friends I have made at the pool were all so lovely and concerned and looked after me 

The lifeguard who is there every morning and I have got to know, not only made sure I was ok, but got the manager, who I also have now got to know,

To come over and do a wellness check on me 

Then told me to not go too deep and made sure the other swimmers kept an eye on me 

Then hubby came with my wonderful son to pick up my car from the carport and one of the 

Amazing friend I have made in the pool took me home 

So today instead of concentrating on the rude driver and his very rude son 

I choose to concentrate on the wonderful people in my life 

Maybe this is the reason for the accident 

So that I am reminded of how truly blessed and rich I am 

See ya xx
