A busy week

I love being on holidays. This week has been wonderful! Catching up with friends, crafty stuff and relaxing.

Tuesday was spent with Kate, Robyn and Val. Kate and I were learning the lovely art of Silk Painting. We were both a bit hesitant at the start, by the end of the day we were totally absorbed and are now looking forward to more!!

Thursday and Friday were two lovely relaxing days at the beach. First we were at Port Arlington and then Ocean Grove. The kids had a ball!! I was able to catch up with two wonderful friends. Thursday night was spent chatting, eating chocolate, drinking wine and a little sewing!!

Tomorrow after a lunch out with the girls I am off on a sewing weekend at Buninyong!!

Back on holidays

How time flies. It has been awhile since I posted on my Blog!
Term 4 was a busy term. I am now into holiday mode and beginning to get back to some sewing.

I recently collected a quilt from our local quilter, Elizabeth. I was so excited and very happy with the result. I have began to bind it, so it will be completed soon.

The garden is surviving, it is nice to be home to enjoy it.

The kids and I went to the Melbourne Aquarium to see the new Penguin display, well worth the visit.

There are a few sewing days being organized over the next couple of weeks, so I hopefully will progress with a few sewing projects.

Relaxing Weekend

The kids and I have had a lovely weekend relaxing in Geelong. It was nice to get away and spend some quality time together. A girl friend and her children joined us for one night also. We had a good catch up and the children entertained themselves quite well

I did manage a little stitching time and did some work on this Sanctuary block. This is one of nine which will form a lovely patchwork quilt.

I recently joined a Block of the month, for "Girls Day Out". This too, will be a lovely stitchery and patchwork quilt once complete. I couldn't help myself, I just had to get started!!! I will have to get busy and divide my time between the two.

Then there is also the New York Beauties, and some quilting to do and some binding to complete and, and, and ....!!!!! The list goes on. Hopefully extra sewing time this week as we have a meeting free week at school.

on holidays

I have viewed a few blogs and thought what a great way to share our love for sewing and craft. I am on holidays at the moment and have been spending quite a bit of time sewing and sorting through some UFO's (unfinished objects!!!) It has been lovely and I look forward to a few more days of it to come.
