Fun... Fun and more fun....

Up up and away.....

On our way to Melbourne......

Our first trip on a tram turned out to be very interesting,  for me at least ....

A man talking to himself very loud and very angry all of a sudden decided that it was me he was angry with so he approached me eye to eye then said " you are a *******  #### " 

"Don't ignore me, you took my millions"

I have to admit that I was a bit scared of him and  was ready to whack him over the head with my handbag.....

Fortunately he got off the tram and continued ranting through the street.....

OMG what a welcome to Melbourne......

Moving on to our first stop the AQC.....

I thought I had photos of the show but apparently not....lol...
Sandi only had these 2, which was better than me.....

A silly selfie outside the show.....

My small purchases.....

Yummie chocolate shops.....

Sandi and I spent the evenings wandering around taking in the vibe of the city......

So many wonderful things to see in the streets of Melbourne.....

A choccie treat before bed....

More photos to come.....

Toodles.....

I'm late...I'm late !!!!!!

for a very important date......

FNWF's  hosted by Cheryll......
Better late than never I suppose....
I was working on my postcards which are also late....
Dear oh dear is all I can say.....

I do seem to be dragging the chain with this project.....
Bye for now......

A special day....

Our Birthday girl.....

Sandi.....

Sandi wanted to keep her birthday low key this year and for once we did as we were told.......

Lunch together of course.....

at "Everyday's cafe " in Beaudesert.

Nor organised a terrific plate of healthy sandwiches.....

Lots of giggles as usual....

After much chatting and laughter we said our goodbyes, waved to Nor and we 3 headed back to the car......

But !!!!!

We walked back through the cafe and passing the very tempting glass case of naughtiness.....

Yes we decided to give in to temptation and get a cuppa and a yummie piece of

Lemon and ginger cheesecake.....

So off we went home feeling pretty pleased with ourselves.....

Happy Birthday Sandi....

I hope you had a fun day and enjoy your gifts.....

A lovely visit with !!!!!

Corinne.....

To see her new apartment....

OMG just look at the views, she is on the 12th floor at Cooparoo Brisbane.....

From the balcony....

from the lounge room.....

from the bedroom....

imagine this view from bed.....

Thanks for a great day Corinne......

My Mini quilt BOM finish....

I did change the fabrics for this one as the kit was a bit dark for my sewing room.....

My little garden oasis is done......

That's it for today......

Toodles.....

An unexpected outing.....

It was so nice to go out with Sandi to Bayside Stitchcraft.....

We are silly girls and forgot to take photos of the shop.....

A walk around the foreshore was so good... 

very hot but enjoyable just the same.....

Fish and chips by the water....

Thanks Sandi for a lovely day.....

Toodles.. ...

A darn nuisance.....

Is anyone else having a problem with spam comments ?

I have put the moderation thingeee on again which is a real pain but it appears it is the only way to keep check of these comments........

What on earth do they get out of doing it, I really don't understand.....

I'm sure my little blog can't be very interesting to them, I guess they are trying to get into our details and computers.....

Ok that's my little rant for today....

Toodloooo 

Sunday Stitchers March meeting....

The girls did a great job using 

"Saint Patrick's" day as the theme.....

Everything was green, very clever and tasty....

I'm very excited about my project as it was a Christmas gift from Norreen....

A Natalie Bird kit....

I'm off now to do a little stitching.....

Toodloooo

Oh dear.....

Well I was supposed to be stitching with friends last night for FNSI ......

go here to Wendy's blog and I'm sure you will find links to other ladies blogs who achieved more than I did......

All I have to show is a big nothing ....

I was a bit tired so I just sat......

But today after my night of rest......

I....with the help from my son Rob dug a drain.... 

A very big storm ruined one of my new gardens with the force of the water so a drain was the order of the day.....

I got half of it done and had to call Rob for help, I was stuffed.....Lol

Looks good now though....

I did do a bit of tumbler glueing on Thursday night in preparation for Sunday Stitchers...

Tuesday was fun and very hot when Sandi and I visited Nor for some stitching, Nor is recovering from neck surgery and she was keen to get together.....

Sandi brought yummie morning tea....

My stitching.....

Sandi gave us beautiful gifts from her recent cruise to New Zealand's north island .....

lucky girl.....

It was soooo hot my choccies in the tin melted while we sat on the veranda at Nor's.....

They were delicious even melted.....

Well I might get a bit of stitching done tonight hopefully.....

So Toodloooooo from me......

A finish....

"Pretty Crochet Quilt"

from Canning Town Patchwork.....

So pleased to have finally finished this quilt....

Crochet is my least favourite craft so I'm not sure what possessed me to buy this kit.......

Oh yes I remember what it was....

It was soooo gorgeous and I just had to make it.....

Toodlooooo....

FNWF

Thanks Cheryll for organising another night of stitching.......

I was working on my Pretty Crochet quilt.....

The end is in sight so I'm working madly to get it finished......

Crochet being my least favourite craft, I'm going to continue with it today so it will really be a "stitch-in" for me......
