CHRISTMAS IS JUST ABOUT HERE

I had made a couple of things to give to my daughter for Christmas. I have not been doing a lot the last few months. Time has just got away but will post the doll I made in the next few days.

I love the table runner and have made myself one as well and another on the way. A lot of work but worth it.

Hello again

These posts go to the bottom first so I am again saying hello to you all again. I have post quite a lot today to bring you up to date with what I have been doing.

I am showing you a little of what of I achieved in the last months. It has been a long cold winter and I did not feel like doing a lot with the craft/quilting. I am away for two weeks and then I will be back into doing things again. I am off to see the grandchildren and I can't wait.
This is a class I attended last week. I was really pleased with the way the blocks came out.
Now what will I do with this piece. It was to be a wall hanging but maybe it would be lovely as an evening bag. What do you think?

A Teddy made out of chenille for my grand daughter.

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.
