Another Month April is here.

Hi everyone out in blog land. Well another month down and April is here where is the year going. I have been doing a post a month so it is better than last year so here is hoping that i can aim for 2 posts a month.We are still fencing and the government is hoping to have some Cyclone clean up in this area soon. My DH can then get some relief with his elbow as all the chainsaw jarring has it swollen and very sore at night when he tries to sleep. We are still getting rain and this is the wettest year that i can remember in a long time. And the weather has changed and we have had to bring out the jumpers and i have been looking at starting a crochet rug but have to get to town to get one more ball of wool then i can start.

In the sewing world i have been making a bag but can not show you yet as it is for a swap on the craft forum. Can not wait to see what you all think. Have you been over and joined in on the craft forum i just love it and the ladies are just great. Here is the button to go and have a look.

Another place that i have joined is the Fat Quarter Swap and that is another place that i am having fun at l just love getting mail don't you. Here is what i have received from Alex in the March swap the color was blue i forgot to take a picture of what i sent to Alex.
This month April i sent off to Cathy and she received it so i can show you that as well. When i get my parcel from Cathy i will show you that as well.

While i am on the subject of Fat Quarters get on over to the Raggedy Station. Theresa has just opened up her new shop and it just looks great i would love to live near her as she would see me in there all the time. Anyway she is having a giveaway of the most beautiful black and white Fat Quarters and i would love to win this one. So head on over and have a drool like i have.
While you are over visiting Theresa have a look at the beautiful photo's of her shop. Would love to here from anyone that has been to visit and what you bought.

Well this is the longest post for a while and i have just loaded up some Christmas things that i made for family so i thought that i would show you. So keep watching and i shall be back on Sunday. Hope that you all have a great weekend.

Happy Sewing everyone.

March Already!!!

Well can not believe that it is March already. What a start to the year Queensland has had and we here were in the thick of it with Cyclone Yasi. So no power for 9 days and telephones there one minute and gone the next. So the month of February will be one to remember but passed in what we all seemed to be in a daze.We went through the eye of it here and have not got a fence left standing. Well now we have it is week 5 now and finally the boundary is nearly all up then we will start with the internal fences.Then the cattle yards needs lots of work done then we can go out and try to find some cattle. But the good lord looked down on us and we are all safe and the house was spared so we have alot to be thankful off.I would like to thank the Blogging family out there that sent emails to check on how we all were. Thank you for caring it made me feel good to no that i have great crafty friends out there in Blog Land.

On a happier note i have joined Cathy in a Fat Quarter Swap and our first swap is this month. I do the FQ Swap over at the Craft Forum and enjoy them alot and have made a lot of craft friends. So i no that i am going to enjoy this one as i say you can not have too much fabric in the cupboard. So if you are interested hope on over to the Fat Quarter Swap and join us i no you will have a great time.Well that is me for the moment hope that everyone has a great weekend and the ladies down in Brisbane having a cuppa and a great laugh with the Gum Tree Designers. I hope that you have a great time i wish that i was there with you all it would be just great.

Happy weekend everyone,

Jumping in Feet First

Well ladies i am jumping in feet first. This year i want to do some wonderful sewing and learn how to bind and do some more stitching. So on my morning Blog hop seeing what everyone is up to, Jenny of ELEFANTZ has put up her first BOM for the year.

Jenny has inspired me over the 1 1/2 years that i have found the crafting world and she was the first swap that i joined and it was a mug rug and mat and i loved every minute of making it and to swap with Joy was great too. You can go back to see my first stitching and see the wonderful Mug Rug and mat that i received from Joy.So i am jumping in Feet First as they say and doing this great BOM and the name of it means a lot to me as i give thanks each day for my beautiful family and our health and love that we share.

So i am spreading the word that you should go over and have a look at this beautiful work that Jenny is sharing with us and join in. I feel that at the end of this we are going to have a great wall hanging to be thankful off.

Well will be back soon to show you what i received for Christmas from my family. And i have to go and get my materials ready for this beautiful BOM.

Well what are you waiting for go on get going over to Jenny's shooo shooo. Just click on the button over on my side bar and it will take you straight there.

I'm Hooked

Hi everyone, Well i can not believe that after two posts in October that i missed November altogether. But i have been blog hopping and you have all been very busy with Christmas.

Well i have been busy with my crochet hook and i am hooked on making these wonderful little puddings.I have to date made 18 and have some more to make as little thank you Christmas gifts as i think they are lovely. I recieved the pattern from a wonderful lady that i am with on the craft forum with. I have made some wonderful friends through the craft forum and on blogger that i am so thank full of.

I have been busy doing other things as well with the crochet hook and knitting needles so will be able to show you soon. I am hoping to make most of my Christmas gifts this year for the laddies of the family and the men of the family will be getting home made goodies.

We have finished school for the year and the last assignment that had to go in was the cooking and DS2 had to do sweets so when we took the photo of the finished product i added the little puddings as decoration. What do you all think i think that it looks great. Am so glad no school to think about now for 8 glorious weeks then we start year 10.Well will be back soon with another post i promise.
