Thank you so much Carin.

Easter Report
The weather was wet. Very wet. Only one person braved the beach for swimming. Some guests arrived by kayak, but it was too wet to paddle back so they caught the ferry. (Those extra kayaks are now stored, along with our own,under the house.) The had to catch the ferry anyway as they had dr...

Dragons!
I could do with one of those, just to keep all the visitors in check. Along with the 12 family members, who have invited themselves to stay for Easter, I know there will be others who will 'drop in'. "We were just over to the island and thought we would drop in and see you". I'm feeling a lot...
I will try,

It may not be as bad as I think. Here’s hoping.

This past week has been spent getting my quilt top sewn together ready for quilting. It is a queen sized quilt but I thought I might increase the size to king size. Then I remembered I had a king sized quilt that is half quilted and I need to finish. Also, I don"t think the extra size will...

They are just relaxing books to read.

New Book
I do like Donna Leon's books which are set in Venice. There was a TV program the other night about the toll tourism is taking on the city. I think this was raised right back in about book 8. ( This new book is book 28, she writes one book a year most of the time.) The Title of the book is "Unt...
I felt a bit guilty for mot making my own. But not for long.

Rember that embroidered coat I was going to make?
I have the fabric, and the design but I was just too ill last year to do it. NOW I have found one ready made in a shop. It is partly hand embroidered with some machine work as well. Even the back of the coat is embroidered. I worried about the cost for about a nano second. It was e...
Thanks Mary. Happy Eater to you and yours.

Update time. Well the knitting isn't progressing because it makes my shoulder too sore. I have to put that aside for a little but I did get the fronts and back up to the arm hole before I stopped. The cross stitch grows, very slowly. I have completed another 2 place-mats. I am now expanding ...
I’ sure they will.

Knitting and my shoulder.
Wouldn't you know it? Just when I need to rest my shoulder I find something I simply have to knit. Mini bunnies and teddies from Julie Williams at Little Cotton Rabbits. I have finished the full size rabbits for my grand daughters for Easter, along with the chocolate eggs but a mini rabbit ...
I have put the knitting away for a bit.

Quilting
I had a rude shock when I went to my patchwork shop. I am going through cutting blades at a terrible rate. I was told it could be my cutting mat. I did a quick reckoning and realised that the mat must be getting up to 20 years old, with lots of use over that time. Where did all those years ...

That is just a case of self preservation. I would get in a terrible mess otherwise.

Running repairs
I got a text from my son saying that my grand daughter, Jasmine, was in melt down. Her security teddy (who is really a rabbit but who's name is Ted,) had lost an ear. Could I please help? (In others words would I come over and sew him together again.) I made arrangements to drop in a coup...

I am sure I stood at the top of the stairs and just gave advice.

We have a visitor
Soon after we moved into this house on the island I saw small foot prints on the front stairs. I know there are no possums on the island and these prints were too big for a mouse. Over the next couple of years I came upon these prints again and just wrote them off as some small bush animal as ...
