Emus I just love painting these little guys.

These are two of the painting I have compleated. I donated the elephant painting to a Cancer evening along with another one. I can't wait to see who the new home will be for them.
Elephants Textured I just love how this turned out when highlighted.

I have started to paint again after years. Sharmayne was the one that encouraged me to paint agan. I can only mess around no great artist here but it has been fun and relaxing.

Well I am back at last

Chinese Steam Boat Dinner.

This is Sharmaye my friend after we came home from the house boat. It is taken the night my husband and I cooked the Chinese Steam Boat Dinner.

These fish were caught when my husband took Wayne (from England) out deep sea fishing. Wayne was so thrilled. He had never seen fish that size before.

This is our dam filled to the brim with the rain we had about 6 weeks ago.
This is our lovely little minature Red Cattle Dog. Spoilt but hay we love her.

I can not believe that it was June that I last posted. I will try and post pictures of what I have been up to in the next couple of weeks.

I have some I can post now of when I went on the house boat with my Girlfriend and 6 of her friends that I did not know. We had a fantastic time enjoyed the waters of the Great Sandy Straights. We ate a few fish and crabs danced and sang the nights away. I want to go do it again. We had such a relaxing time and we all go on so well. I don't think I heard a cross word spoken the time we were on that trip. Very busy when I arrived home. With 3 dinners in a space of 4 days all to fit in before the English people had to go back home. (Husband wife and 14 year old daughter were on the boat with us) We had a Thai buffet cooked by one of guys on the boat then a roast cooked at my friends and last a Chinese Steam Boat at our home.

After that I settled back into my crafts and painting so I will have these to post soon for you to look at.

After the flooding

We have finely cleaned up around the place after the flooding of last week. It was all put on hold while we picked up the new boat. I still have the vegetable garden to replant but that will not take long.

Our acre dam looks like a lake at the moment but the ducks are loving it. We can even see the fish swimming close to the top.

Here is the boat. Ken is disappointed as he wanted to go in the fishing comp. this weekend but the weather is not very good. To windy and the seas are quite big. He still thinks that it may be calm enough to go in the morning.

Here is the boat. Think I will be comfortable enought in it?

Exciting

I am so excited for my husband. He just purchased a new boat a nice one with a half cabin. I am hoping I will be able to go out with him sometimes as long as he allows me to take some hand work. He has always said you are here for fishing not reading or sewing.lol

I will post a picture as soon as I take one. It is exciting.

I was given some material the other week and after looking at it for a while (it was curtain squares) I decided I could do with new cushions so now have 12 new cushions. I have to get the inserts for them then will post a picture. Nothing fancy but the fabrics were lovely. I could only get bone and white zips so I dyed them to the right colour. I don't know why no one sees the zips.

Challenge Qults at Mountain Quilters May 2008

This is the one I made for the Challenge.

I am so proud of the girls in our quilt group for the work they put into this years challenge.

We were given a piece of fabric and had to create a small quilt. This year I am was proud of the work done by the girls oh and one guy. It was hard for anyone to judge and make a decision. People stood for ages before making their choice.

This is another quilt I put into the show.

Its been a while

Hello All

It has been a while since I posted.

First I had month away with my daughter presenting us with a new baby boy. What excitement now she has a girl and a boy. I had forgotten the work that babies take. The little girl was only 15 months old when the baby arrived so was a very busy time.

Here is Lily our grand daughter.

Our new baby boy Jack.

When I came home I also brought with me a flu so that put me out for another 2 weeks then we had a very windy Saturday night and it brought on asthma like I have not had in about 10 years. It is only the last few days that I am feeling human again.

I still managed to do a few things in the time off line.

The first is My Ladies. I have had it on the go for about 5 years and really wanted to get it into our quilt show which was held last weekend.

Then next is Floral Art
