News!!

My sister has just told me that her op will be on Nov 15th, so it will be a trip to Hobart for myself and my niece Becci. Wish it was under better circumstances, but at least now it is all happening you feel like it is all under control!!

I am off to Tomahawk tonight for a few days with Karen, it is so long since we have managed to both be able to get together for the same few days that it is almost a miracle!!!

Carolyn is up for the weekend with a dress fitting on Friday, Wendy is coming to the fitting too so hopefully that will be something good in a few weeks of bad!!

See you all soon!!!

life and other stuff!!!

Haven't written for a while cos a lot has happened! Wendy my lil sis has had a nasty health scare and that is what has been taking up my time -to a degree and thought- almost constantly.


Went with her today to find out what is ahead, still a lot but not quite as bad as at first thought. Her treatment will carry on until next month then maybe take us up until almost christmas!!


Still there are quite a few good things happening in the near future, now I will be able to go to the beach with Karen as Wendy will not be operated on until November! There is also Carolyns wedding to look forward too!


I am also looking forward to this weekend as Jess, Daniel and Carolyn are coming up from Hobart for a visit, haven't seen them for a few weeks so will be good.


Ellie, Cait and I are just about to go shopping for fabric for aprons that I am making for Niche Market which is on next month! I have a couple of really cute patterns even one for a little chefs hat too, so am quite looking forward to it!!


Will go now as the time has sped by since I started this entry!!

germs!!!

I have germs today and I am not happy!! I have a sneaking suspicion that they could be horrid melbourne germs, imported here by my very thoughtful visitor last weekend!! I am off to Hobart this weekend with cait to catch up with my other two girlies, jess and caz!! It will be sooo great to see them it has been a few weeks and I miss them. ellie might come too so it will be all of us together!!

I have not had germs of the cold variety for ages, so i hope i throw these off quickly! you will notice that i said i have a cold not the flu cos that is what men get!

i have just paid some bills, hate doing it but people seem to frown on it if you don't!! now am off to have a  bit of a read and a nice hot cuppa before tackling my kitchen, another hateful job!!

happy things!!

my children, make me happy (almost!) always oxoxo when i started on this journey all those years ago i was so innocent! looking around me i realise how lucky i have been to have raised five sane (mostly!), caring,  loving, beautiful adults. they have gone into the world to do the best they know how, just like the rest of us did. it was not always easy but will always be the most worthwhile thing i have ever done!! i am soo proud of them all, they are all living their lives as individuals, each one different, but connected. 

reading makes me happy- just being able to peek into someone elses life is a joy to me! i could not have survived the world without books, YES, i know i probably would have but i would have missed so much.

sewing- what more can i say, my idea of bliss would be somewhere to go with no interruptions, my machine and an endless supply of glorious fabric. what do people who don't sew do with themselves?

cooking- i like cooking for my family as they are always appreciative of my efforts- i was so lucky when my children were little, they ate almost everything i fed them, no picky eaters at my table!!!

modern medicine- so grateful for the wonderful doctors and scientists who make the fact that i am still alive and kicking possible. thanks again!!!

more later...... i have things is have to do crowding in on me!!!

where to start!!!

as this is my very first blog i have to admit that i'm not quite sure where or how to start?? is this going to be good thing or something that will become a chore?? i will start by saying that today has not been the best one i have ever had the aged privilege of enjoying as i felt ill all day today, new diabetes meds, yet again, playing havoc with my tummy. just read my baby girls blog, it always seems soo interesting, hopefully mine will get better as i go along!!  i am looking forward to my sis inlaw coming to stay for a few days as she always is a lot of fun and we do an awful lot of talking, cathartic to say the least. well i am off to dreamland now as i can feel my eyelids drooping! hopefully will have something more intersting to record in the next few days. will do a rundown of things that make me happy!! oxoxo
