This is James, acting totally as though he doesn't know the camera is there although he ran us to ask us to log on.

Angela Madden teaches Celtic Designs and this was a class we did at our recent retreat.  These are my two patterns - totally original and such fun to do.

This is Pebbles our cat - she adopted us some 12-13 years ago as a bag of bones.  I came across a programme called Kaleidoscope and downloaded the demo - still thinking of getting the full programme.

These are the blocks that I've done at the moment - still have a few to do.  It looks like I will have to do the drunkard's path block again as it has come up a bit smaller than the rest.

Rebecca and 16 of her friends celebrated her 16th Birthday at Nando's Restaurant - they all had a fab time.

I had been wanting to visit this Chateau for the last 10 years and last summer when my father came to stay with us I had the opportunity of going with him.  It is absolutely beautiful and the grounds/gardens are to die for.  This picture really does not do it justice.

This harbour is beautiful, especially in the summer with all the restaurants spilling out into the streets and it's only abt 10 mins from our house.

This the dish that Geoff and Becky always choose when we eat out in France - I like the crab and prawns but you can keep the rest.

This was taken last August by the pool.  My father, me, my son, daughter and husband.  We were all squinting as the sun was so strong.

This the beautiful table runner that Midge sent me.

This is the wall hanging I made for Connie (Nawma) - the design is made by a friend of mine called Brenda Walker, she does wonderful patterns.

Pam and I go to this Quilt show twice a year - we have a great time (PS Pam's in the pink)

This is the beautiful wall hanging I received from Nola - it was handstitched and truly beautiful.

This is the wall hanging that I made for Nola in the Summer Memories Swap that she organised on Block Central.

This is part of the gift I recieved from Sarah together with material, chocs etc.  Sunflowers are my favourite flowers so this was a beautiful surprise.

This was the table runner I made for Leanne Anderson - it was huge!

This piece was completed in a one day workshop held by Kathleen Laurel Sage.  It was a great, fun day.  You layer small pieces or organza inbetween sheets of wash away Sulky - the top sheet will have your pattern already marked up (you do this first) and then you stitch on your lines and then soak your piece until the sulky washes away, leave to dry and then play with your soldering iron (specialist one with variety of different tips) and you carefully burn the pieces out that you don't want and this is the result.  This tutor also does wonderful things for jewellery pieces etc.

We had 2 days of snow on the 8th and 9th February 2007 - we had an offering of snow about a fortnight earlier but that disappeared by the end of the day.
