Holiday madness!
Since last week I've been so busy with kids getting ready to go back to school chasing down uniforms, books, shoes, sport shoes, school bags etc I've hardly had space to breathe...
However, last week we went and saw Avatar at IMAX cinema and really enjoyed the effects of 3D. I reaaly want to see the space one coming soon!
Then Thursday, while out hunting for the school stuff Liam and I saw The Tooth Fairy. We both enjoyed that, the audience was laughing out loud big time.
I really must learn to operate this blog with photos!! but yet to have the time.
Quilting
Still working on the NYE mystery of Anne Smith. And starting a Valentines day mystery with Inspector club yahoo group with Fran. Fused the hearts today and cut out strips for the first block.
Music
JJ will be playing her Bass guitar tomorrow for an Australia Day celebration after church. Our friend Greg is a part time jazz musician and has written some songs they will play as well as some great Aussie traditional songs. One he has made up words for is Wonthaggi blues.
Movies
We watched Karate Kid last night and today Liam has been skipping, lifting weights, exercising, he claims he wants a 6 pack (he's 12 yo). We will see how long this lasts!
Mischy has a new name ''Phil cos they can't pronounce his real name. It means something like have tea. He will be living in the home of a Thai lady, hope he learns the language quickly. He doesn't need to cook because a meal is about $1 so not worth shopping, cooking etc. Of course it means no dishes either!

Rearranging and summertime

It's the summer holidays and time for some late spring cleaning. My son has just left home to go to Thailand to work with an aid organisation for a year so we managed to see his bedroom floor for the first time in quite a while. The carpet was amazingly dust free ( as he normally has a horizontal wardrobe on the floor). His room has been transformed into hubby's study plus spare bedroom. Meanwhile I have gone through some cupboards and threw out (ie. will recycle) stuff that has been taking up room and not being used. How many salad bowls can one use, even at Christmas? My thoughts are that óut of sight is out of mind'' so I have been boxing them up as I sort so that I won't be tempted to keep things. So not much sewing done on the current mystery project by Ann Smith from my yahoo group. 288 half square triangles completed for the single size, plus clue 1. I could put up photos but I have to work out that feature first.
Cheers Diane

A new blogger has arrived!

Well, I just signed up because I wanted to join Judi Lacquidara's fabric stash list and design wall list and needed a blog to do so.
Now I need to go find my lists..
