Where does time go?

Such a lot has happened since I last blogged, some of it too raw to share right now.

But as a way of healing it was suggested I write things down. I will just not yet.

I’m going to try to join in F.N.S.I - it’s so long since I did, way overdue. Keeping my hands busy may help healing too, if not cuddles from Charlee help.
Hope to see you there.

FNSI...a day late

Well last night didn't quite go to plan...stitching prepared but I didn't account for Miss Charlee....she may look cute and inobtrusive but if you attempt to stitch... a little paw strokes your hand to stop you... she was probably just trying to make me stop and relax...mission accomplished lol

While Miss Charlee was otherwise occupied I did my stitching today, truthfully I was at a market and it was a bit quiet so I used my time wisely...this stitchery was in my goodie bag from last weekends retreat...I've not decided what I'm going to do with it but I'm really pleased with how it's turned out.

Time for me to go and check what everyone else got up to at FNSI

A long time again between posts... time just runs away..but after a wonderful weekend of fun catching up with friends I hadn't seen for 2 years I've decided I need to make more of an effort and make time for "me" sewing not just business sewing. 

With that said tonight I'm joining Wendy and friends for ...



Friday Night Sew In

Project picked from last weekend...car packed ready for this weekends market so I've no reason not to join in :)

FNSI..... I remembered to post

I joined in with Wendy and lots of others on Friday for FNSI and I've remembered to post about before the weekend's over woo hoo.......
I spent the day with a friend and we made some wine totes - we made 3 in total until we were pleased with the design and sewing process; what do you think wine drinkers think? Would you be pleased to receive one as a gift?

Meeting a bloggy friend.......

I met a bloggy friend today - Jo. We were partnered in Cheryll's Santa Sack Swap and have got to know each other a little over the last 6 months. Jo and her friend Victoria came over to SA for a short visit so we arranged to meet for lunch. We had a great time getting to know each other a bit more (very delicious food and coffee). Such a warm, bubbly person, full of fun. We visited Lincraft and Noni B where some bargains were found before I had to go and collect children. 

I didn't take any photo's but Jo did and I'm sure she'll post them when she gets home. A new friend most definitely - I'm sure we'll meet up again...
