Wordless Wednesday

Changed settings

Sorry guys. I’ve had to enable word verification I have been getting lots of spam 

Comments.   I know it’s a pain but I’ll have to leave it for a few weeks. Hopefully they will

Get sick of it and I can take it back off 

Have a great day 

See ya xx

Birthday girl

Yesterday we celebrated melodys fouth birthday 

Her actual birthday is on the 13th. But her num and dad had the party this weekend 

Here she is with her mum, sister Brianna and her cousin getting ready to blow out her candles 

She had a piñata but was shy about hitting it.  I guess all the talk about being kind to animals 

Has made an impact  

Brianna had a go with a little help from her dad 

In the end dad had to do it to get all the lollies out 

And this is what we got for her 

What every little girl needs. A unicorn jewellery box 

Filled with jewellery and make up. 

She is such a girlie girl 

She’s growing way too fast 

So we are treasuring every moment we get to spend with her 

Happiest of birthdays to our precious girl 

Grandma and grandpa love you so much

Sewing for a cause

A friend of mine has started a charity that helps children that need to leave their home for whatever reason 

Usually it’s a rushed thing and the kids leave with nothing more than the clothes on their backs 

This is where my lovely friend sally comes in 

Her charity pack backpacks with essentials and each child receives one full of things they need 

https://www.backpacks4vickids.org.au/

This is the link to their website 

You can also find them on Facebook

She tagged me to a sewing page for their charity and it says they need bags sewn for toiletries and some for stationary 

I’ve made stationary bags with what I have 

I’ll have to go searching tomorrow to see what other fabric I have that I can use 

I just need some cord to finish these off 

I’ll make a bundle and deliver them to her 

So if your kinda local 

And feel like this is something you can do 

Jump on board 

Unfortunately the need lots 

There are other things they need and if you check out the website it will tell you 

I hope you can help her and her band of helpers 

See ya xxx

Life

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend 

The weather is has been lovely and we got some much needed rain 

I’ve been swimming and walking and slowly getting back into a routine 

I finished my table runner 

The quilting is stitch in the ditch. It’s not perfect 

The weight of the runner would pull and pull it off line so there are more than a few 

Wonky bits 

But I’m happy with it. Once I put on the Christmas decorations on it. You won’t notice it 

Here are a few,  much smaller, Pieces. I will pin them and quilt them and get them finished 

In the next few weeks. Then I’ll put them away for Christmas presents 

Nothing like getting a head start I say 

And I’ve stared on my stash of bendigo wool mills yarn 

These are fifty fifty wool and bamboo 

So they are nice and soft

So there is nothing exciting happening right now, just life 

Uncomplicated, boring comfortable life 

And I like that. 

See ya xxx
