old ufo

A couple of weeks ago I decided to start something off my ufo list..... one of my older projects....
can you beleive how old this is... the date on the magazine is 1994.... look at those darling old fabrics and colours....


lucky I still like the fabrics although I'm not sure how they will work in my house now but I will stitch it together and see....

My most humble apologies to you all in blogland.... I have no real excuse for my weeks of no blogging except to say I lost not only my sewing mojo but worst of all my blogging mojo went with it..... to where I have no idea.
My thoughts are that they both disappeared into the land of unpicking.... you know that place where the light is so dim and suddenly you need triple magnifyers and some Las Vegas lighting to see those naughty little...no tiny-tinsey... stitches that were so carefully sewn that now have to come out because they are in the wrong spot...doh!!!!
and of course because I was so overwhelmed with the grief and pain of all this I had nothing to blog about... I should have just blogged for some helpful advice from those of you who have been here before.....

As well as all that June was a very busy month for me.... We had a night away on the boat over the long weekend and caught up with some old friends which was fun.....
Then it was my big "O" birthday and we went up to the snow at Dinner Plain for a weekend with my darling husband and our children, it was really lovely, very relaxing, took my sewing but it didn't get a look in... too much to see and do.....
Here's a photo of my snowboarding daughters
my son and his girl.... and no we didn't need the ambulance we just parked near it..lol

Beautiful Mt Hotham.... the pink jacket and the yellow jacket behind(centre of pic) are my girls boarding down the mountain....

We had a BBQ lunch on the following Sunday with my Mum and sister and her children, son and his girlfriend and her two boys to celebrate my birthday and Daniel's and farewell Victoria... she is off to NZ again :(


On the Monday went to Melbourne with my girls and we went to the Barbie exhibition, that was fun seeing all the Barbies and we got to dress one each...

We stayed overnight and ate at a lovely Japanese restaurant on Southbank then we drove Victoria to the airport 7am Tuesday morning, she is over there in Queenstown working for the next twelve months...I hope it won't be that long but it will be fun to go and visit her over there, we went over last time she and Kate were there in 2005 and loved it,I can't wait to go back this time I will find the patchwork shops.....
