Last week :o)

Well it certainly is nice to be back to normal on my ‘puter!!! We’ve been on “go slow” for the past few days and it’s been driving me CRACKERS!!!!!! I've been driving to McDonalds to use their free WIFI to download my emails each morning lol. I tried to do a post the other day but it was taking forever – so here I am now – better late than never ;o).

I was wanting to tell you all what a fun time I had at the Beenleigh Quilt show last week – I met lots of lovely quilters – and some bloggy friends too (Hi Maddy!!) - new and old ;o). The only one I managed to get a piccy of was Julie (yes I know – terribly slack of me!). Julie’s husband Joe was taking the pics – what a laugh he he he……..

   

Thanks Joe LOL, at least he managed to get one good one of us he he ... 

My DD2 came to help me a couple of the days I was there too …. can you tell she was a bit cold??? We both bought a pair of these, lovely snuggly hand crocheted slippers – mine are pink of course :o)…

I found a way to keep her happy though …

… the coffee was for me ;o)!! Thanks for the cupcake Margaret, it was DELISH :o)!!!!!!

My DH and I took Sunday for ourselves and did a spot of fishing. It was the first time we’ve managed to get the boat in the water for about 18 months. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy wetting a line, and even though all my catches were throw backs – my dear 'hunter and gatherer' managed to catch a couple of meals for us…

I just love that last pic of Bundy sneaking in to check out the spoils he he he.

The rest of last week turned into a bit of a blur lol … I got a bit of sewing done, and I’ve been getting this new bag pattern written up too, just a little bit left to do now so I'll show you all :o) …

This bag opens with a hinged light-weight alluminium frame – just like the old fashioned Doctor’s bags … 

And I was surprised by how easy peasy it was to put in!!! I’ve also done another version in brighter colours – but I’m not so keen on the shape of the frame in this one, what do you think?? …

Well I’d better be off and finish writing up the pattern. Once I can come up with a name for this I’ll be having a giveaway ………… any ideas?????
