Today 50 Shades and l celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. I was scheduled to meet a friend for a walk this morning so gave him a coffee in bed at 6.15am. He loved his ear, nose and eyebrow trimmer that l gave him, that surprised me a little to be honest but he tidied himself up this mornin...

Well at least my working life. We went out to dinner last night to celebrate an '0' birthday. Ten years ago today l opened Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop. There have been many changes over those 10 years and each one has made my little shop better. I love what l do, l love my customers many who have be...

Shop doesn't open until next Tuesday. I have opened my emails and there are a lot of them that need to be answered. Be patient, l will work my way through them. But first things first, there are bills to pay and orders to pick up, they are the top things on my list.

I just wanted to take a minute to wish each and every one of you lovely ladies (no male readers as far as l know) a Merry Christmas and a fabulous 2014. 2013 has been a brilliant. I have visited small quilt shows and several stitching days. I have made many friends along the way. Thank you for i...

It is with a heavy heart that l share with you Viv lost her fight. She has been surrounded by family since being admitted to hospital the Friday before Cup Day. Yesterday she slipped into a coma and died peacefully last night. I will miss a very dear friend, the patchwork and quilting family wi...

Viv has been moved to palliative care, that happened on Tuesday. Called in tonight and she was surrounded by family. Nice to see that there were 3 quilts in her room today. The room has a nice outlook onto the garden and today the sun was shining and the sky was blue Viv seemed to doze more than...

Viv's family have been reading your beautiful posts and have been 'blown away' by what you have all written. Her daughter has been printing them off to share with the family. So thank you so much for taking the time post. It really does mean a lot. I know her family loves her dearly, but l don'...

Christmas is just around the corner. I am going to bore you to snorts by telling you what l get done each day. December 1st, l would usually be decorating today but l am working down at Philip Island. So this is a quick thing to do to start the ball rolling. I am going to put a Christmas quilt o...

Has been very helpful, hand is wrapped and have to keep a sling on for a week. Got the shower sorted and only had to have help with my bra. He found it was easier to do it up when it was on the right way round.

Any minute now you should receive an email from me that has a letter to you, a list of what the Christmas Angels are making, a short list of questions so that l find out a little about you and a button that you are welcome to add to your blog if you have one. Like l have said, if after reading...

But today l took down the Christmas decs and put them away for another year. They've been up since the first Friday of the month. So the 7 plastics tubs, the 3 Christmas trees, the painted wooden Santa and matching Christmas tree , the bag of gold woven stars and the tin village are all up in th...

I have just been making some cheese biscuits. It's nice to take a little bag of them when you catch up with people this time of the year. The recipe says lshould get 80, disappointed, l only got about 60. They lie! Does anyone else check what the recipe says and then count to see if they get the...
