Thank you so much to Narelle .... she made these gorgeous items just for me!! These are just beautiful ... Narelle's stitches are so neat and even!!!Thank you so much Narelle I love them and as you can see they are just perfect with my favourite mug :o)!!!

I've managed to get my new 'puter to make friends with my printer and scanner now, so hopefully very soon there will be more PDF patterns from JoyPatch coming on my website and onto my blog. As you can clearly see from my dear Sophie's expression ... she's had enough of my yelling at the new 'puter LOL. Oh well, one more battle won ..... still a lot more to fight I fear though :o/.

DH and I managed to get out in our little boat the other day and I took a few pics of the "Dawn Treader". Parts of the new Narnia movie "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" are being filmed about 10min from where I live - so when we were out on the bay I took these pics of the ship for you to see!!! Isn't it impressive!!!I can't wait to see the movie ..... I love the 'Chronicles of Narnia' ;o).
