Sunday, Sunday

A busy week has flown past - one of those few weeks where I was out every night - Monday at Stitch & B___ch; Tuesday Quilt Club Committee; Wednesday caught up with a girlfriend who was out from Singapore for a quick trip to celebrate her parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary; Thursday Kwilting Katz stitching night; and Friday was Club UFO ... lovely husband took over the household reigns for the week.

A couple of little projects finished this week...

A dress stitching for my hairdresser Shelley, she is a young lady who brought her business nearly 1 year ago and is doing so well, her salon colours are black with a shot of Jade and she is always asking what crafts I am up to - though have never brought anything in to show her - so thought it would be a lovely surprise to give her one to keep instead...





















I've also managed to finish last night the three stitcheries from the Arts & Crafts order - so will ring the lady today to say they are ready to collect - I hope she likes them...

Today is so windy - the weather reports say it will be 130km winds - I've just washed the bed linen and now too nervous to peg it out incase it ends up down the hill in the neighbours property - lots of pegs required I think :)
This afternoon plan on plucking up the courage to start quilting husband's quilt...
Love J x

Young Lady Visitor...

Yesterday morning we were woken by a young lady who had lost her way - she landed on our front lawn quacking away and wandering around outside our bedroom window, then headed around the side of the house... she stayed around for a wee bit - then must have heard her mates calling her and off she flew - very cute... one way to get the oldest daughter out of bed early on her last day of school holidays.

Here's our young visitor mid-quack...

Today caught up with Steph, who I don't get to see that often, had a lovely lunch at Palmers Garden Centre, an awesome long gossip, browsed through their plants and ferreted amongst their gift items - they had Christmas decorations out for sale already - aargh - I've still got Christmas crafts that I haven't completed yet for the tree...

Tomorrow morning heading off with Sandra and Shirley to SusanClaire @ Toad Hall as is the last day of Susan's quilting fabric sale - ooh temptation, though I'm on a mission to get the fat 1/4's for our club monthly raffles well that is my excuse :)

Though it has been very windy today - it was SO NICE to finally see blue sky and feel some warmth in the sun, after having a week of rain and cold weather.

Better rescue the chicken am cooking for dinner and make the salad.
