Another year ......

..... has come and gone - and I'm another year older. My husband bought me a beautiful antique "lady's chair" for my sewing studio - it is just right to sit and stitch in - the photo is still to come.





My BFF Sue gave me some gorgeous cupcakes - without the calories! Aren't they great?
















I have long wanted to purchase the book "Nearly Insane", join the insanity and stitch this quilt. I came EXTREMELY close to it at the show I last bloggged about - unfortunately, the stand selling the book had sold out.
Never fear - my wonderful Mum & Dad always know just the right gift to give - and I am now the proud owner of the fabulous book - plus a couple of bundles of beautiful repro's to start stitching the quilt. I'd love to hear if there are any blog groups out there (along the lines of the Dear Jane stitchers) ..... I think I may need a little support as I slowly become insane ........................


I have spent the weekend preparing hand work - something to work on while I become a couch potato and watch the Olympics - finally I may just stitch some of those gorgeous pincushion kits I have been receiving. I just love the Olympics, a feast of different sporting events all for the watching - and of course, the chance for Aussies to show their talent. There's nothing left to say except that ALMOST embarrassing "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - oi, oi, oi!"
