Tuesday naughtiness......Miss Matty's Parlour

Tuesday's naughty food.....

the only good for you food is the melting moments.....

but the others taste better, I didn't have any naughty food.....

I'm such a good girl.....

Not much stitching done..... tooooo much laughing

"Miss Matty's Parlour" hexies done today

Our photo shoot for the No Fuss Swappers next swap.....

the last one for this year.....

"Bah Humbug" swap

if you are looking for a simple, easy, cheap swap then this one is for you so pop over here

and join in the fun.

I have also finished the  centre section of  "Miss Matty's Parlour" quilt

so it will be onward and upward for this project now......

It's time for me to begin planning and maybe joining some hexies together for this wonderful quilt.

This is only a rough idea......

Yep it's that time again to say......

A Splendid morning ..... a swap and out on my own.....

I had a "Splendid" morning today even though the weather was a little overcast and rainy.....

I caught up on these 2 blocks......

Block 61

Block 62

Once again I added a few dollars to my "mistake tin" ..... 

I'm still doing silly things so the money is adding up..... lol

Block 60

I made this one earlier....

My quilt will be very scrappy as you can tell from all my blocks, I'm only using fabric from my stash so I guess you could call it a memory quilt as well.

All my blocks so far.....

There are a couple there that I'm not happy with my fabric choice so I will see at the end of this journey if I take them out.

I enjoyed another great swap from our "No Fuss Swappers" blog, this one was

"Road Trip"

These are the gifts I received from Julie.....

Lovely ..... thanks so much Julie.... they are great.

My parcel was sent to Cheryl.....

Cheryl's favourite colour is red so that made it easy to put together.

So glad that Cheryl liked her gifts.

I enjoyed this morning tea when I was out and about all by myself......

seemed really odd without the Tuesday girls there.....

No craft shopping though just clothes and undies for a trip I'm going on very very soon.....

more on that later....

Well that's it for me today so as usual.....

Toodles

Great night out.....

First things first..... dinner at the Pancake Manor

Sandi..... The Knight....Susan and me

Wayne (Sandi's hubby) was our Photographer.....

On the way to the Tivoli we saw this very pretty tree so naturally I needed a photo.....

Yes it was raining but it did look fantastic.

What a terrific toe tapping.... hand clapping night out last night..... loved it.

They were such a fantastic group, if you ever get the chance to see them.....

go for it you won't be disappointed.

Brisbane.....

I hadn't been to this venue before, it is a fabulous old building.....

one doesn't usually take photos of the bathroom but I just couldn't resist.

So after sore hands from clapping and dry throats from singing we headed home.

Thanks Sandi and Wayne for a great night.

So it's toodles again......

A happy but sad goodbye....... a little splendid......

Our beautiful Corinne (g/daugther) who has been living with us for the past 3 1/2 years is now on a wonderful adventure..... she has moved to Japan to live and work for 18 months or so.
I will miss her sooooo much but I am excited for her as well.
It is so easy to keep in touch these days even though she is so far away and I know that there might be a little holiday to visit her in the new year......

Miss you heaps.....
gosh she has only been away a little over a week.....
silly aren't I ?

Well Tuesday is with us again and are we stitching...... of course

But we did slip out for a little morning tea at a new cafe in our area....

Teresa's drink.......

I had a coffee and a Raw Treat..... small but tasty and healthy as well.....

Then back to my place to continue stitching, laughing, chatting.....

Our lovely Tuesday girl "Teresa" left us to go on holiday to the top end of Australia.......
