l'm back!!!

Having just spent 4 weeks at my beach house, one would expect to come home relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to go!! Well, l am pleased to say l am.

While the first 2 weeks were busy with family, and many friends visiting, the second week l managed to read 3 books while watching the flooding dramas engulfing our northern neighbours.

 l took a pasta cooking class, making it from scratch. And took a bag of goodies home,

 and shared a wonderful meal with my DH.

 Yumm!!!

 Then there was the family pizza night, when we made 20 pizza's ( also from scratch )

to feed a hungry family of 20 adults.

 Double yumm!!

The 4th week, 4 girlfriends joined me and we had some much needed sewing therapy.
Cooking plays a large part of our life at the beach, and when the girls visited,
 it was no different. Some wonderful meals were shared, a few glasses of wine drunk,
many wonderful stories told and shared, and new memories made.

 Lots of these were sewn.

 

l am so looking forward to this new year, and even with January already done and dusted,

 there are many adventures ahead.

l had 2 quilts published this month. The first one, Georgie's Birthday Quilt,

 was in Australian Patchwork and Quilting.

Then this one came out this week. Its in Australian Country Craft. l even made the cover!!

My thoughts today are with our northern neighbours again, as they recover from what must
 have been an incredibly frightening night, as Cyclone Yasi crossed land. l pray they are all safe!!

Thanks for visiting.
Linda.
