Sorry I have not done much on here, but I have been very ill with my MS, BUT I am now on the way to getting better.
I have also been busy doing a Christmas stocking, but as you all know you should never try and cut and sew while your brain is not working well. I cut the sock out FORGETTING to add the seam allowance, so I now have a skinny sock to send to my swappie over in USA somewhere, oh well at least it is a stocking of somekind :)
We also have been getting ground ready to recive a 'granny' flat on the site next to us (which also does not help my MS) but it does mean I have somewhere for people to stay when they come and visit me.
Well I just have to get the last things added to my box of goodies and it will be on its way, so the sooner I get of this computer the sooner I can get it on its way.

OK SPRING WAS HERE.


Spring was here but mmmm then the snow came back. Hubby and me only just got home over the mountain befor the raod was closed due to snow. It was the first time in YEARS hubby and me had driven in snow. (And I do mean years as the last time for me was 25yrs ago when I lived in the UK)
Somewhere in the backround there is a mountain or two.

SPRING IS HERE
Sorry the pic is a little out of focus but as you can see I have daffs out in my garden and this one is a triple one, it lasted over a week inside along with some others I had cut.
I only had one plain yellow, the rest were this loverly white and orange colour.

Sorry I have not done anything here but not only have I been ill but my kids have got me onto facebook.
A mother has to keep track of her kids in one way or another.
On the quilting side I have been trying to do a stack and whack, have most of it cut out and some of it sewn up but because of illness I have not even done much sewing.
Just hope things start to get better soon.

As promised here are the pics of oldest daughters quilt I have done for her. OK it might not be everyone's cup of tea but she just LOVES it lol. It has sculls and pirate things quilted onto it as well as just ditch sewing around a few blocks.

Well oldest kids quilt is now finished, and will soon be on its way down to her in the South Island.
Have got photo's taken, but need to find the lead, so I can upload them to the computer. Why is it when you put something away safe, you can never find it when you need it!!!

Anyways photo's will be here soon.

No I have not falling off the planet yet, but I have been busy sewing and quilting.
I have been doing a quilt for my oldest daughter. Have nearly got the quilting done on it and once it has got the binding on I will be able to get a photo of it and put it up for all to see.
I have no photo's of it yet as the pattern and fabric are a surprise, so you will all see it the same time she does.

I have got the last part of my goose tracks quilt cut out, just have to sew it all together on the machine once I have dug it out from under the pile of fabric hiding it.

Weatherman/lady says we have another cold snap heading our way again, so I thing I will just stay in the warm and sew for a few more weeks. When does summer start again?
