 19/08/2022  Photo a Day  I did this good thing

  I made this quilt for a soon to be born baby about 17 years ago , I have known his mother Jane all her life as her parents were friends , Helen  (Jane's mother ) and I nursed together in the sixties and worked together until the late seventies, we were the same age but Helen died from cancer in her fifties and I really made the quilt in her memory.

 16/8/2022   Photo a Day  I never

 Drink beer, I always say I didn't get the beer gene because I'm the only one in my family who doesn't drink it!

Where have I been

 I'm afraid the Blog was ignored last week because I had visitors and lots of sewing jobs to complete , the week started last Sunday with a video call to Zoe for her birthday and all she wanted to talk to was Molly who obediently sat on my lap for ten minutes until she got bored looking at her Zoe's birthday presents.

Miss Zoe says where's Molly Grandma , she's gone outside I tell her., Zoe immediately turns to Tim nad says Molly has gone outside to wee Daddy, Grandma I can wee in the potty now!

They had a family morning tea for her birthday party and Trish went over to Marrickville the first time in ages because she's been so sick with the Flu.

Tom and Jayne wanted a bigger quilt for their bed in the caravan , luckily I had a Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt top which Belinda Betts quilted for me and here it is in situ...

  I have also just finished a wall hanging for Steven and I have posted it to him and he's very happy with it I used a small quilt I had made as the backing.

It is for the animals that were in the wars that Australia has been in Horses, donkeys, camels , pigeons and dogs the purple poppies are for the animals that didn't make it and Steven knew a few from Afghanistan

14/07/2022    Photo a Day  Post Card

   Well it could be a postcard , I've had three visitors last week and Tim brought me a new computer (well a less old one anyway) and I've had trouble setting it up which is why my photo day has been missing for a couple of weeks. We went out to dinner one night but it was so cold I stayed home the next night. Tim has certainly forgotten how cold Bathurst can be! Although Di and I went to Orange yesterday and it was absolutely freezing four degrees and sleeting!

The kids hadn't forgotten me since it had been 18 months since I saw them, they were delightful and Molly enjoyed having them to play with and cuddle.
