I spend alot of time reading others blogs and enjoy wasting the time in doing so..My venture in blogging will hopefully have others all over the world, enjoy my life and loves as our journey on this earth is so very short. "So many things to do and such a short time to do them in".I really look forward to meeting and greeting others from everywhere.

Its windy outside and strange noises just keep happening..Once im awake I cant for the life of me get back to sleep.I have to start work in two hours and thankfully my duaghters house is only about a 5 7 mins drive up the road instead of the 20 mins or so drive for me from my home.<br />
I really am not home again much these days but have managed to get a little done on the sewing front.I must update my WIP sometime soon..I havent got any photos of them with me..I will upload some photos tonight ...<br />

I have to say a big thank you to Cheryll of "Gone Stitchin" for her wonderful "Pay it Forward" gift she sent me..I am unable to download any photos due to this stupid computer..I will need to try again tommorrow..<br />

And another lady I need to say a big big thank you to is Alicia Bisel from Okeene in Oklahoma in the USA for her April Block.She not only sent me her block but she also sent me all the remaining materials from the block.Since then I have managed to make 12 block in Crazy patchwork with the remaining material...Again I dont seem to be able to get this computer to download photos.<br />

Of course I didnt get any sewing done on the cruise as time goes so very quickly and with so much to do on board there was never a dull moment.<br />
I will post all that I have updates on over this weekend.<br />

As I was away for a few weeks I didnt get much sewing done.I have dug out my "Gollyville" that I started some years ago...but as you can see each piece has to be pieced together and appliqued and beleive me with the hare little needle needed to stitch around every little piece my fingers are never the same...<br />

MY 50th BIRTHDAY...<br />
I had a wonderful 50th birthday aswell while I was away.The day before we left my family had a surprise party for me with family and friends..Im not one for surprises and have never had a surprise party but it turned out just lovely. Then on the ship they arrange balloons and a cake for anyone who has a birthday while on there..How embarrassing..But it was so nice..We dinned with some lovely people that night and decided to stay with them to have dinner each night..I received some really lovely presents..My mum and dad gave me the most beautiful cushion that I found at Rick Rutherfords Country Shoppe (Which is<br />
just up the road from me).Photo below..My hubby bought me a Sapphire and diamond ring just gorgeous and teapots and tea cups for my collections.Oh it was just all so overwhelming....<br />

4 WEEKS TO GO TILL NEXT HOLIDAY..<br />
Im being very spoilt this year already and in 4 weeks we have our family holiday (another cruise) to New Zealand..My eldest daughter her hubby and their 3 children Jordan 9 Xavier 3 and Jorja 1 my hubby and myself all leave for a 10night cruise to New Zealand..We have been advise we will now miss Christchurch for reasons everyone will know about..My heart is still going out to all in NZ and esp Christchurch...I just dont know what is happening to our planet.It is so sad that we have seen so many mather nature disasters in the last 6 7 months.Lets all pray that disasters will come to an end and we can live without fear...I dont know about everyone else but I think this earth has changed so very much.Progress I guess is the cause of it all.<br />
My moto now is enjoy each day.Dont worry about tomorrow cause who knows what it may bring...<br />
Well sewing to be done and photos to be taken..<br />
Must say its nice to be back online..<br />

I also wanted to stop for a min and pay my regards to all aussies in Queensland who are now starting to get on with their new lives..I am hoping that it will be smooth traveling for you all and I will be helping in someway..I am, like everyone, so sad for all of you up there and now Victoria is heading the same way.We all know the Victorians don't need another disaster after the bad fires there two years ago.I have been to all these places of disaster but Anna Bligh is right.."You will get thru it"...All my prayers are with you all...<br />
