Busy week:
- Hubz and Bubz celebrated our 31st anniversary.......... (I got pearls last year and chocs this year!
- Choc Chip cookies made
Yes - that's Jamie, I think he looks like he approves - certainly they look better than the MasterChef contestants efforts last week! Chookieblue made a great batch of scones which would knock the contestants out........ I might try some scones today - I have the home-made apricot jam..... and grandie #3 is coming for sleepover and I'm sure he will like them??
- Gained lots of new blog friends
- Started Christmas stockings
- Visited LOTS of blog friends (nobody warned me this is addictive!) - one person links to another, and another, and another and ...........
Jenny has challenged us to use her "Little Bird in a Tree" design in a project this month AND a new free BOM "Daisy-Do" (link on my sidebar) - they are so pretty so ...
- I HAD to go and get some fabric and thread for stitching!
Gum Tree Designers have shared a beautiful little cushion designed by Judith. My introduction to reading blogs was through the Gum Tree Designers and I used several of their patterns for Christmas last year. One of their patterns for a Christmas bag I used to share with a small local craft group. You can find Judiths pattern HERE and this is my version....
and a close up....
Phew........... I slept so well last night to the sound of rain on our tin roof - 25mls......... wonderful, I will gladly put up with the cold and grey today for that bonus.........

Welcome to blogville! I have a feeling I need to make some choc chip cookies for the hubs today!! Come on over to my blog for a giveaway, just answer a few questions on batting, if you use it, if not, leave a note anyway. We are celebrating the 4th of July Independence Day and I have a red, white and blue quilt kit up for grabs. Cheers, and keep those cookies coming, Elaine in Texas, USA
Hello, yes it is kind of addictive..you'll miss a couple of days and then wonder what is going on with those friends you've made...I think its like having pen pals all over the world..I'm a grandmother, too...I've added you to my list of blogs I follow..I hope thats alright...I remember when I started and went to check and see each day if I'd had visitors and how disappointed I was when I had no comments..soon I had my comments coming to my gmail account so I didn't have to check the blog all the time...You'll make lots of friends..Welcome aboard.
