Hmm long time, no blog!

Well I have been busy healing (lumbar sprain which had me flat on my back for the better part of 6 weeks). While I've been home with little to do but watch DVDs and surf the net I've been busy acquiring:


a new HUGE family home :)

Lucky us ;P

a new pet: the lovely Amber.

Gorgeous girl we rescued from the RSPCA. She has fitted in so well. Like she's always been here.

a new quilt: using 2 x Jelly Rolls by Moda.

Hush-a-Bye fabric. About time I made a quilt for the adults in the family. Completed using the 'Sushi Roll' pattern from Calico Patch and some help from Rhonda. The nice (easy) thing about Jelly Rolls is that all the fabric is colour matched and precut into 2 1/2 inch strips... makes quilting easy peasy. Will be sending it off to the fabulous Fran Wilson of Willow Patch Quilting tomorrow.

Reno # 2

Husband Deluxe and I picked away all weekend completely clearing the space. Now that the bath mats, towels and blinds are missing it is cold and a real echo chamber.

Poor old Buster has one more night in his old digs and then he'll be moving out into the lounge room, lucky bugger.

Things are all stations go 7.30am tomorrow morning: excitment!!!

Buster

Our old boy has now been with us for 13 years and was about 18 months old when we got him. So it's time he got his own blog post. He seems to have aged so much this last year, looking like an old dog now. Going grey round his eyes, that old look they get going round their legs, hating the cold. He is still very active, asserting himself as top dog whenever Charlie happens to visit!
