Time flies when you are having fun
there has been a lot happening in my neck of the
woods, with Christmas, school holidays,
NSW Cuboree and now we are at
the final day of the school holidays.
Christmas last year was a quiet affair
just the hubster, the girlies and our son
we had a lovely day I was very spoilt
we ate too much and played lots
of board games, ds girlfriend joined
us the day after boxing day and we had
them here for a week, which was
lovely.
I received a gorgeous iPad pouch in
Chookyblues secret santa swap, I must take a photo
and share it here
New Year was also very quiet
we stayed home, watched the fireworks
at midnight and went to bed, no hangover for me
Sophie and Imogen went to Appin, for the NSW
Cuboree, they had a fabulous time and it was a very quiet
week while they were gone.
Since then we have spent our days lazing around
going to the beach, sewing and just being
sloths in general.
Its been fabulous
Sophie and Emma start high school on Wednesday
so last week was a rush of getting uniforms,
shoes and books. Both girls are very excited
Imogen will be in year 5 this year, I can't
believe they are growing up so fast, and it will be so nice
to have a lovely clean house again, and food in the pantry
for longer than 2 days.
What else has been happening, there have been some
not so nice phone calls from my sister, I have
wiped my hands of her at the moment, she has said
and done some terrible things that I will never forgive her
for, worst of all, she went running to my dad and
involved him (she is 46 not 14) but dad and I are ok,
my brother and I are ok and she can go to hell in a
hand basket for all I care at the moment.
We've had a flea infestation, that was pretty gross and we still
can't work out where they came from. Henrycat is an inside cat
who never goes outside or comes into contact with other cats,
and the dog is an outside dog who never comes inside....
but we fixed it, we bombed the house, twice and so far
so good.
Australia day saw us wood collecting in preparation for winter
today the hubster split it all and the girlies and I stacked it,
another 3 ute loads and we should make it through without
to collect more or buy it.
Sewing wise I have been busy making another quilt for
Lynette, it will be postal to her at the end of next week
I am aiming for 5/2 mailing date.
I am slowly catching up on my Wagon Wheels BOM
I was given Amities Bring Me Flowers BOM for Christmas
I have made 1 little flower so far, with its partner cut out
waiting to be sewn.
DH and the girlies gave me another Amitie textiles
Quilt kit for Christmas
'Midnight at the Oasis'
which I am BUSTING
to start, but after Lynette's quilt is done, I have
a baby quilt to make by March, and a quilt to finish for the
Holman Clinic (where mum had all her treatment)
to raffle so hopefully
by the end of Feb I can get Midnight started.
Thats my plan anyway
