The colour purple ..........

The lady I drew in the secret santa at work, has a passion for purple. Really enjoyed making this bag for her. It has two pockets on the front and one inside. No problem showing the pics as she has no idea about my blog.

I have made a table topper for chrissie with the gadget I bought from Cowra. Havent finished it as yet but heres a teaser.

Lots of beaut rain here. We do need it, but I wish I could send some to our country friends.

Oh my ....its mine!

I had a lovely parcel waiting for me this afternoon from the lovely De. I had admired it on her blog and am sooo happy to be the owner. Thankyou De and thanks to Cheryll for organising the flower mini swap.

This is the mini I sent to my partner. Haven't heard from her as yet so I hope it has arrived safely. (not the greatest photo, sorry folks).

Quick trip.....

Hubbie and I had a three day trip to Temora to attend a surprise birthday bash of a dear friend.

We (me) decided to take the scenic route and amazingly patchwork shops seemed to be in every town we passed through. These beauties were bought from Katoomba, Bathurst, Cowra and Young. Lovely shops with lovely ladies.

I loved the look from Cheryll at Gone Stichin of this little heart and decided to have a go. Im happy how it has turned out.

All ready.....

I have finished my items for my chrissie swaps. They are wrapped and ready to be posted.

I have also finished my flower mini. I came across the fabric on our recent trip. No sneakies. I hope the recipient likes it.

I have a secret Santa pressie to make for a workmate. I'm enjoying making totes/bags at the moment so I plan on making another.

I also need to make up a few Christmas kits I bought while in Geraldton. Then a runner for the table.

Highs and lows....

Nature is certainly throwing curve balls at the moment. Thank goodness for the RFS!

We had a lovely 10 days with friends and our granddaughter in Tuncurry and Nelsons Bay.

Whales and dolphins were spotted, copious amounts of food (cake, mmmm) and lots of laughter.

Then hot, extremely windy weather began on our last day away. With it came the bush fires. We are lucky to have got home after the fire was contained on Monday.

Thursday brought the hot,windy conditions again which resulted in my son and his family being evacuated from their home and thankfully they had us to come to. Poor Pregnant DIL was caught up in a bush fire emergency on her way home from work which scared the you know what out of her. They have returned home but are still on alert and thankfully with no damage to their home.

Unfortunately the same cant be said for many families and  my best wishes go to them.

View from the front of sons' home. Too close for comfort!
