Plum Street Sampler

Morning Bird.

Bird in the Bower.

Ouch!

On our recent visit to the zoo we came across this poor little thing, she could hardly walk.

A year older.

Tuesday I celebrated my birthday, I can't really be 43, just not possible, there must be some mistake. Anyway I had a nice day, had gifts from my husband and son and we went out for dinner in the evening.

Maybe it's the changing of seasons, my son going back to school, who really knows but I need to decide how to spend my days. I waste a lot of my time thinking about all the things that I should do and that's it, just thinking and more thinking. Someone help me, put me on the right track, I am desperate to sew, it calms me and keeps me happy. Maybe I will start on Monday (well I need to get on top of the housework and then my mind will be clear). Wish me luck!!!!

Thank You!!!

I am always amazed when people take the time to leave a comment on my blog. It really touches my heart that I get left such lovely messages.

Returning from summer holiday

Another summer coming to a close, it makes me feel so sad. We had a wonderful holiday, extremely relaxing and quiet. Most of the time was spent swimming, eating, a little sight seeing and lazing around the pool at our villa.

How strange life can be.

I have been searching for quilters in Greece for some time and I came across Jessica and recently emailed her. She doesn't live here but her husband is Greek and I read that they would be here in the summer. We got to meet, well that was pretty amazing for me and we got to chat about quilting and other things too. It so happens that I actually knew her father-in-law, just imagine finding out that, he was my OB/GYN!!!!!!

If you love to quilt then take a look at her blog, http://littleshika.blogspot.com I hope she updates it very soon with the quilt she is in the process of stitching. I have seen just a little bit of this and her work is fantastic and I am eager to see the end result.

Other news .....

Why I feel like I am 90 years old sometimes! For the third summer in a row I have ended up taking my DS to the hospital. This time he had a nasty fall, hitting and grazing his head and elbow. Thankfully he is fine, a couple of days at home resting and now he is back to his normal self.

Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler.

My WIP, Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler. I am using 32ct R&R Daytona Sands fabric and GAST Berry Cobbler. I am progressing slowly but that seems to be the way my life is going too.

We leave in a couple of days, I have yet to decide what comes along with me, a quilting or cross-stitching project.
