Some Progress
Most of my time seems to be taken up with my computer course lately. I swing between elation and utter frustration. I have to work really hard as I just don’t have my brain set at the same responsive rate as the kids. They just dive in and it seems to work. I tried this. I dove in and every...
My learning curve is steeper than most.

Out of the rut!
Do you have a list of blogs that you like to look at or subscribe to? I do and I find that with time constraints etc they are the only ones I tend to look at. So last week I decided to dive in and go surfing. I didn't find a lot of new material but I did find one that is a going to keep me oc...
Once again it will be up to the kids.

The next Children's Class will be in the first week of the April school holidays. Keeping with the theme for the year which is looking at copyright this project is called 'Inspired by". Many embroiderers' are inspired by traditional designs. This one is based on the Paisley design, ...

I keep finding things that I meant to write about but somehow or other they got over looked. This one is from almost a year ago when I first became ill. I saw this wonderful embroidered fireplace surround when we were visiting Melbourne last year. I couldn't find too much about it but I foun...
My pleasure.

A new sewing machine
My eldest grand daughter turned 8 in December. This is the time to start to teach her how to use a sewing machine. Small problem. I could give her one of my machines but mine are Bernina's and that means that they are heavy and I don't want to give any of my machines away. I did have a Husqv...
I think this is what I would have liked when I was 8. Hope she likes it.

The cushion covers
It took a bit of time but I finally finished the cushion covers for my booster cushions. I found that quilting was very hard on my shoulder so had to pace myself. The actual making wasn't difficult and I had them both assembled in one morning. It was the quilting, which was the challenge a...
It is a beautiful place.

Those few days away have given me a different perspective on home. We stayed with old friends at the house at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast. We have been travelling up there for years and it has always been a favourite holiday destination. It is still a favourite destination for lots and lot...

Return of an phantom
Well, I have pulled out my cross stitch that I started in 2018 and found it was stitched in the wrong orientation. I was tempted to put it in the bin, or unpick the whole thing and start again. I started the unpicking and quickly decided there must be a better way of solving this problem. N...
It sure is.

I am trying, for the third time, to complete this on-line course from Susie Monday. I did a couple of courses with Susie when I was in Houston back in 2017 and then when I signed up for the online course I got ill. So I resigned and got ill again. This time I am going to complete this course ...

From the wish list.
Well those bunnies are finished and obviously one has been eating more carrots than the other! They now need a basket each for their eggs. (That is one task finished well in advance.)
