I've Been Spoilt!

I have been very spoilt for my birthday 

by my lovely friends Mel, Barb and Shez.

 Mel made me the prettiest little cushion in Tilda fabrics. There was Gail Pan's Simply Christmas to add to my collection and a cute sewing tin filled with Lindt balls.

Thank you for my wonderful gifts, Mel.

 

 Barb did some of her fabulous crocheting and made 

me this gorgeous cushion. It's sitting alongside 

my other special cushions on our bed.

Thank you so much, Barb. I love it.

 I had seen this lovely sewing tin on Shez's blog and 

never dreamt it would be coming to my place.

 Shez added some goodies inside. The was a lovely felt etui she had made, a couple of patterns and some threads. There was also a box of Celebrations chocolates.

This is the etui when open.

Thank you for my lovely gifts, Shez.

So another year older and hopefully another year wiser!

Footy Results

Unfortunately, Mitchell's team lost the Grand Final. It was quite close until the last quarter. With only about 5 minutes to go, Whittlesea kicked three quick goals. Banyule played well but Whittlesea was the better team on the day.

Nelson received this medal for being Boundary Umpire.

Austin's team also lost. So today is the end of the 

footy season in the MacDonald house!

Before we know it, the 2016 season will be here!

Grand Final!

Good luck to Mitchell and his team mates as they play the

Division 2 Under 19's Grand Final

against Whittlesea today.

This year Banyule joined the Northern Football League (NFL) after changing from the Victoria Amateur Football League. They have done well to get to the Grand Final 

in their first year in the NFL.

This photo is after last week's Preliminary Final win.

 Good luck also to Nelson as he is Boundary Umpiring the game. It's not very often a first year umpire gets to umpire 

a Grand Final in junior competition, let alone seniors. 

He has managed to do both!

Umpiring last week's Division 1 Under 19's First Semi Final Bundoora (Austin's team) vs Lower Plenty. 

Bundoora won and play the Preliminary Final tomorrow. 

Good luck to Bundoora as well.

 Austin hasn't been selected for the game 

but will be there cheering them on.

A Message From Molly

 Hello Everyone. 

Yes, it's me Molly again. 

I just wanted to share my exciting news with you.

Remember how Mum entered me in the Pets on Quilts Show over at Lily Pad Quilting? Well, guess what! 

I was voted the favourite Dog on Quilt. 

How exciting is that!

I want to thank everyone who voted for me. 

Special thanks to Melody and Shez for putting me 

on their blogs too. There were so many lovely pets.

I've won a special prize and it will be coming all the way from New York from Sharon of Vrooman's Quilts. When it arrives, I'll show it to you. I think I'll have to do a deal with Mum and do a swap for something else for me. Maybe a big bone!

This is the third time I've been in the Show 

so it's third time lucky for me!

Thanks to Jacque for organising the show and congratulations to all the other winners and entrants.
There was some tough competition out there!

Woofy hugs,
Molly

Friday Night With Friends

 I had a lovely night of stitching along with everyone in between picking up boys from Ten Pin Bowling and a Formal.

 I traced out Block 9 of Jenny's Vintage Kitchen. 

This is the last block to be stitched. I've got my fabrics picked for putting it all together.

Worked some more on my Home stitchery. This is one of the designs from Jenny's Stitchery Club.

Thanks to Chez for hosting us all. 

Lucky she has such a large lounge room! 

You can see what everyone else got up to here.

Linking up with Super Mom - No Cape!
