It tooke me back to my youth when life was fancy free and we had not a care in the world. The pace of life was definitely slower and then there were the days at the beach working on a tan. I remember my first pair of jeans with flared bottoms, a matching denim jacket and a checked red shirt.............the height of fashion............LOL.<br />

These designs were in the Christmas Issue of Handmade Vol 29 No 8. I am so pleased with how they turned out and they are too nice just to bring out at Christmas time so I am going to hang them in my craft room all year round.<br />

I like the idea of the artist's canvases and I am going to try and mount a cross stitch on them and just see how it turns out.<br />
<br />
I do hope everyone is enjoying their time off and getting lots of stitching done. As the holidays season finishes and the reality of the New Year set in I hope and pray that you will all be safe.<br />

<br />
As I look back over the past year it was one that I do not want to repeat. At one stage I was so sick, they told me I had pulmonary fibrosis and had 5 years to live. I put my life in the hands of our dear Saviour and friend and after lots of tests the decision was reversed to one of bronchiectasis, while not life threatening is serious. A simple cold turns into something major. They are not happy with my lungs at this stage and are considering putting me in hospital to have antibotics given to me in a drip.<br />
<br />
I have so many things to be thankful for, my Daughter and her fiance arrived home safely and how wonderful it is to have her living close again. I have a family that love me so much. I also have a church family who are caring I am so blessed in many ways.<br />
<br />
This year our church is doing a daily Bible programme and also reading the book called The Desire of Ages, which is about the life of Christ. It is one of my favourite books besides the Bible.<br />

Things have been rather hectic around here. DH's brother (who is mentally handicapped and suffers severe epilepsy) had a fall and broke his neck. They won't operate to put a metal halo because if he has another fall, it will sever his spinal cord. The sad thing is that he can't understand what is going on. Some days he knows who we are and others he doesn't. He just want's to go home.<br />
<br />

Well yesterday was that day.<br />
<br />
I worked on Some Kind of Wonderful Cup of Tea Block and kept sewing the background fabric together and then there was the needle threading - all day long I had trouble threading the needle.<br />
<br />
Then there was the reverse stitch which happened quite a lot yesterday.
Somehow I think I should have quit for the day - but like a devoted
needleworker I took the good with the bad and carried on regardless.<br />
<br />
This is some of what I worked on last week. My rotation for 2012 has already been changed. I am now
going to work for 10 hrs on a project and then move on. I realised that
some weeks will be busier than others so to give every piece a fair
chance this is what I will try. <br />

I have been wanting a little outdoor setting to put in the courtyard
outside our bedroom so that I can sit and do my Bible study in the
morning and then sit and stitch throughout the day. We found one that was perfect and at
an even better price then we expected. I have been looking forward to
using this so much BUT guess what, the weather has been abysmal and is
set to continue on like this for the rest of the week.<br />

<br />
I am getting in early and changing my rotation and will trial it in December to see whether it is achievable. I have decided to do a project a week for 4 weeks and then I will start at the beginning of the rotation again. I am also going to have a Monthly Focus project. I also want to add in there a BOM and Designer for the year.<br />
<br />
The Designer that I want to stitch this year is LHN/CCN and see how many I can stitch in a year.<br />
<br />
So December is going to look like this.<br />
<b>Week 1</b><br />
Rochelle QS HAED <br />
<b>Week 2</b><br />
Rites of Spring - Blackbird Designs<br />
<b>Week 3</b><br />
Sentimental Xmas Trio - Handmade Vol 29 No 8<br />
<b>Week 4</b><br />
Snow in Love -LHN<br />
<br />
<b>MONTHLY FOCUS</b> is<br />
Snowman Kisses - CherryWood Designs (a new start)<br />
<b>BOM</b><br />
Some Kind of Wonderful - Annie Downes<br />
<b>LHN</b><br />
Elizabeth McGuire - Dear Diary Series<br />
<br />
Yikes when I write that all down it looks a lot. We will see how I go. I think I need to grow another pair of hands.<br />

These are 3 stitcheries that were published in Handmade Vol 29 No 8. I finished Peace and will stitch the other 2 before mounting them. They are beautiful and easy to stitch.<br />

I have just been to the Drs and all their computers are down, so I have no results yet from the tests done. I have to ring them this afternoon. I have developed a throbbing headache, so will go and down a few painkillers.<br />
<br />
May you all have a wonderful week.<br />

You had to write in 25 words or less about animals and what they mean to us. When the date they were picking a winner passed and I didn't hear anything I promptly forgot all about it. It was a few months later when I got a notification from the PO that there was a parcel to pick up, I couldn't figure out what it might be as I hadn't ordered anything.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even when I saw the name Universal as the sender it still didn't twig until I got home and started to open the parcel and saw the Congratulations letter. So here is a picture of the beautiful fabric and I am not quite sure what I am going to make with yet.<style type="text/css">

Isn't this the most beautiful fabric. These are the fat eights that I am using for Circles of Life BOM that is in the <a href="http://www.elefantz.com/" target="_blank">Elefantz Magazine</a>. As soon as I saw these at the<a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/" target="_blank"> Fat Quarter Shop</a>, I knew that they were the ones I wanted to use for this Quilt.. I had to wait for them to become available but I can assure you that the wait was worth it. Also the ladies at the Fat Quarter Shop were wonderful to deal with. I could spend hours drooling over the fabrics on this site. <br />
<br />
The green feathers and yellow red flowers fabric under the fat eights are for the borders around the blocks. Now to find time to start this Quilt. Ohhh to have more hours in the day.<br />
<br />
The weather today is just stunning, so I am enjoying it while I can as big storms are predicted over the next few days. Have a fantastic day everyone.<br />

I was a real hermit this week-end and I loved it. It was just what the Dr. ordered - stay home and stitch. The only time I went out was to buy some strips to test my sugar levels. I hope everyone else had a productive week-end.<br />
<br />
I worked on a few different pieces. I finished the<b> Patty Cake </b>
block for Somekind of Wonderful SAL and started the <b>Singing in the rain
</b>Block <br />

I have been having a really yucky time with my health. A simple cold on the chest again and my sugar levels are off the planet. They have come back, but I am eating basically nothing to keep them at a reasonable level but even then they are not within the normal range.<br />
<br />
I have also joined in with the <b>International Hermit and Stitch Week-end</b>. I have managed to do quite a bit of stitching which I will share with you tomorrow. <br />
<br />
So here is what I have been working on - <b>Odd Couple</b> was my Focus piece last month and I was really pleased with how much I managed to get done. This is for my DS & DIL.<br />

<br />
My beautiful daughter is back from overseas and planning a wedding in just under a years time. At the moment she is only working casual and is hoping to pick up a teaching contract for next year. So when she get the chance she is down here and we are having a wonderful time making plans. <br />
<br />
When she is working full time we will not have as much time together so I am just treasuring the moments together - the stitching can happen later.<br />
<br />

One down and only 9 to go. I loved stitching this block and can't wait to start on No. 2.<br />
<br />
I have also been working on Od Couple as my monthly focus piece. I have pulled all the fabric for a SAL <br />
of <a href="http://stitch-a-long.blogspot.com/">Some King of Wonderful </a>by Annie Downes. I have everything I need to start now. I also ordered some fabice from the <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/Flora-Moda-Fabrics-Lauren-Jessi-Jung.asp?Shopper_id=32641071537493264&Store_id=499">Fat Quarter Shop</a> to do The Circle of Friends by Jenny Elefantz, I have been waiting it seems forever for all the fabric to come in. <br />
<br />
I did finish the Love Never fails Quilt but just realised that I didn't take a photo of it, so it can wait till next time - which hopefully will not be as long as last time.<br />

The lung specalist has told me that I have bronchiectasis, I have had further tests and am trying to come to terms with it all. I caught a simple cold which turned into major complications and am informed that this is what will happen every time I get a cold. The Dr. put me on 2 types of antibotics at once, his words were "We rarely do this, but it is a case of keeping you out of hospital." I am starting to feel a little better but have lost my voice at the moment.<br />
<br />
I have been working on a Christmas Card Holder designed by Ann Francene Dimmer. The pattern is from Handmade magazine. <br />

</tbody></table>Yesterday while the guys watched Formula 1 - I turned my mini quilts, I now just have to stitch in the ditch around them, next it is onto the Quilt itself.<br />
<br />
Love Never Fails is a quilt designed by Val Laird her Blog <a href="http://val-laird.blogspot.com/">Journey of a Stitcher</a> can be found by clicking on the above link.<br />
<br />
The sun is out and there are clothes on the line, the breeze is quite cool, but who cares we have SUN!!!!<br />
<br />
I am off in a few minutes to teach Scripture at 2 Public Schools, this is just so rewarding.<br />
<br />

It is a long week-end here in Australia and the weather has been miserable, cold and rainy. I need some <b>SUNSHINE, </b>although the weather lends itself to stitching and reading.<br />

</tbody></table>These are the fabrics I have chosen to do a cushion with. It is called Ladybug Delights. There is applique and stitching on the front, it should be easy to make up and I have chosen these colours to go with the colours in the lounge room.<br />
<br />
I am off to the Drs. this afternoon to get back some results from blood tests and xrays taken last week. I am sure that everything will be fine and that I am worrying about nothing.<br />
<br />
What stunning weather we have been having, just beautiful sunny days and cold nights, it takes one's breath away seeing the crystal clear colours.<br />
