Weekend away

Had a great weekend away at Toowoomba in January.  Finished sadly with all the devastation. My heart goes out to those who have been affected by this event.  What I saw was nothing much ( a raging flooded, muddy gully) compared to the bigger picture.  Although in the flooded gully at least 4 homes were flooded. I thank God for His care in this time.  Staying at a friends home that was high, jsut a street away, we had power, no water but had a rain water tank, so the bucket brigrade happened the 5 days I was stuck there till the roads home opened.  My friend was to have had workshops that week so her pantry and fridge were full so had no food problems.

Hi all

Hope your Christmas was a happy and safe one and not too many of you were caught away from home.
We took 10 hours to get home after Christmas but all family got back to their home town safely.  Heavy rain has seen flooding here in Biloela and our dam is 79% and rising which is wonderful considering we were 6% at the start of the year.  We are slowly catching up with other dams that got full earlier than this.
Have done some downloading of photos of cakes and craft that I've been doing.  Hope you all enjoy.  Check out all the pages.  See you soon.
May you all have a Happy and Safe New year with fabulous things to happen in your life whether it be your job, art, sport, love, family.  May God's Blessing be yours.

Art Weekend

Well had a fantastic weekend.  Did something I've wanted to try out for a while.  Pastels.  Started a little frustrated but with the excellent tutor's help and guidance I got into it.  We did animals so I chose to do a picture of our family dog that we lost at the start of the year.  She was 17 years old and we had had many a wonderful time with her.  So hopefully I've done her justice with the painting.  It is still a work in progress as we only did the workshop this weekend so I have a little more work to do. When I've finished her I'll post again.

This is me, my Tutor Marlene Millard and my unfinished puppy

Six of us enjoyed Marlene's teaching.

Been Away

Hi all, well sorry about the big gap in posting.  Was side tracked by doing a quilt for my expected grandchild.

I used the Kookaburra Cottage 'Noah & Friends' pattern.  down size it to a cot quilt size. Had great fun making it using all fabrics that I had coloured myself.  Some were dyed but most were coloured with 'Liquid Radiance' paints from Genesis Creations. Rainbow one I was very happy with. The only ones not coloured were the black & white. Also coloured the backing.

I will post the individual blocks on the Patchwork page as to give a closer look.
The expected grandchild arrived safely on the 6th September.  A Grandson. Jacob!
