Getting back on track

What an exhausting two weeks we have had here. After our lovely relaxing weekend away we have all been unwell, there have been many days off work and school and lots of laying on the couches!!! The kids and I are much better than we were, it seems to take awhile to get over it completely. Therefor there has not been much happening in the sewing department.



We have our school concert this week. The children in my grade are so excited. I have spent a lot of time this weekend sewing costumes.

I have displayed a quilt which has finally been finished. I began this applique quilt before I had the children. It is nice to now have it hanging above my sewing machine.

Spring is definitely on its way. The flowers are blooming and the tree ferns are showing new life!!

Back at work

The sewing has slowed down now that term three has begun. Will look forward to the next hol's!!

Have managed to put these bird house blocks together. These were made as friendship blocks with a wonderful group of local ladies. It is so nice to look at and think of everyone in the group.

Off to the craft show in Melbourne next weekend - can't wait!!

The holidays are flying by. I have been busy catching up with friends and some very productive sewing time. A sewing day with the girls was most enjoyable. It has been great spending time at home with the kids. Pa made a puppet theatre for the kids, I made the red curtains with the gold trim (as requested) and my 8 year old girl added the final decorations. I recently took part in a New York Beauties class, so decided to try this pattern using black, red and gold, all different colours for me!
