I'm still here

Hi all. Though I haven't been blogging in a very long time, I am still around. Been a hectic 6 months with lots of changes, including a move. Only recently got my sewing mojo back, hard to think about creating when so many other things going on but everything is back on track and normal again. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and best wishes for 2013...I'll share pictures of some of the things I've done. Dd finish a BOM from hugs and kisses for a wall hanging, made lots and lots of cushions, table runner for a valentines table runner swap on FB. I do promise to stay in touch more, that's my New Years resolution. :-)

Long time, no hear

Wow, cant believe it has been that long since I posted. I have had alot going on in my life and I know time flies...but geez!!!!! I have alot of things on the go at the moment (too many I think). But I get a tad bored if I stick to the same thing all the time so I have a few quilts on the go plus a wallhanging and tonight I decided to cut out hexagons...what is wrong with me :-) Here are some blocks I have been stitching. Some things French plus the beautiful redwork. I promise to finish something soon..lol

Some violets to go with the roses....

And some lavender thrown in....a very floral week. Here is a canvas of Violets. Im enjoying making these wall hangings. Im also participating in a pin cushion swap at Clares Craftroom and this is my pin cushion contribution

Wow Im on a Roll....

Another retreat item finished off (still a tad more to go...we were spoiled) This one is by Melissa Grant, Ive put mine on a canvas and added a cameo, thought it will make a lovely Mothers Day gift

One Item Completed

This is the lovely bird design we got on the weekend at the retreat from Helen Stubbings. It is attached to a canvas. I love this colourque technique, it looks fantastic

Anzac Day

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them Another moving Anzac Day. I will never grow weary of Dawn Services and supporting our veterans and servicemen and women. Extra special this year as my son Dale read the student prayer at the march. http://youtu.be/7b2xnaIGw4Y
