I did tell myself I need to blog more this year..but alas its now February and this is my first post of the year....
I was glad to say goodbye to 2018 and hope this year my hubby's health will settle and we can enjoy life again.... I am hanging to get back onto the water but our crusier is at home...after buying a huge trailer and permits etc she is parked near the shed and hubby has been slowly working on her giving the engine and the leg a well earned good service.....we will antifowl and also replace all the awnings, screens etc ..hoping to be on the water again in a few months...
Next week Im hoping life will get back to normal as Miss 13 will be at school ( we have a new one for a few months). Then my days will be my own again except for all the appointments etc which comes with having five kids at home lol
I have been in my sewing room twice in almost 8 weeks. I have a lot of my hand stuff in the house, that Ive prepared for the holidays in one of those Ikea trolleys...it hold a lot lol
Ive been working on my Pollinate quilt..and love those little "sewtites" magnetic strips. They hold my EPP work together tightly that I can sew for longer and not get cramped hands. I bought a three pack from the states but they are now stocked in Oz at Pattchwork Plus in Tasmania.... I find one is ample for my type of work...
Im adding the last border of colour now ....then its all the low volume rows and the bees ... I have a bit prepared but will need to get out the sewing room and prep more next week...
I have prepped a few of the outer rosettes and working on them when I find the last colour border cumbersome...
The new also saw me start a new knitting project ( a shawl) called Herbstblute which means Autumn Flowers in german... The wool is silk, alpaca and merino and its sooo soft....Its lots of pattern work and IM almost at the lace section which I just LOVE!
Last weekend my DD32 took me to an evening with Nigella Lawson at the Sydney Opera House. She bought the tickets for my birthday last year and it was a great show...I just love Nigella!
I also added another block to my Ruby BOM by Shiralee Stitches.. I have a few to catch up on...luckily when I received them each month I cut and glue them ready to pick up and stitch.
My DD34 and her hubby bought DD15 a flight to Bali for her 16th birthday...so IM heading to Bali in 5 weeks. Both my older daughters and their husbands/ and kids had already planned a trip away...so now Mummy is going too...Im planning on lots of swimming, cocktails and reading!
Our weekly sewing group will be on Mondays this year, starting next week and Im soo looking forward to getting back into the weekly chit n chatter and sewing too lol
The annual Scrub Stitching Bush Retreat is 9 weeks away and hubby has another hospital trip the week after that...so I dont see our lives slowing down any time soon....
xx
Scrub Stitching only 9 weeks???? scary isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteI do hope things settle for you - looking forward to seeing Pollinate done....
The quilt looks like very intricate and time consuming. Enjoy your trip and your cocktails :)

ReplyDeletei couldn't believe that i would ever be re-unite with my ex-lover, i was so traumatize staying all alone with no body to stay by me and to be with me, but i was so lucky one certain day to meet this powerful spell caster Dr Akhere,after telling him about my situation he did everything humanly possible to see that my lover come back to me,indeed after casting the spell my ex-lover came back to me less than 48 hours,my ex-lover came back begging me that he will never leave me again,3 months later we got engaged and married,if you are having this same situation just contact Dr Akhere on his email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com thanks very much sir for restoring my ex-lover back to me,his email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com or call/whatsapp:+2349057261346
hindi ako makapaniwala na kailanman ay muling makiisa ako sa aking kasintahan, labis akong na-trauma sa pananatiling nag-iisa na walang katawan na manatili sa akin at makakasama ko, ngunit napakasuwerte ako sa isang tiyak na araw upang matugunan ito malakas na spell caster na si Dr Akhere, matapos sabihin sa kanya ang tungkol sa aking sitwasyon ginawa niya ang lahat ng makataong posible upang makita na ang aking kasintahan ay bumalik sa akin, sa katunayan matapos na ihagis ang spell ang aking dating kasintahan ay bumalik sa akin ng mas mababa sa 48 oras, dumating ang dating kasintahan ko. bumalik sa pagmamakaawa sa akin na hindi na niya ako pababayaan, 3 buwan mamaya kami ay nakipag-ugnay at nag-asawa, kung nagkakaroon ka ng parehong sitwasyong ito makipag-ugnay lamang kay Dr Akhere sa kanyang email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com maraming salamat sa sir sa pagpapanumbalik ng aking dating kasintahan bumalik sa akin, ang kanyang email: AKHERETEMPLE@gmail.com o tumawag / whatsapp: +2349057261346
