Colour Swap on it's way!

My parcel to my 2011 Colour Swap is on it's way to my partner.
Guess what colour she chose! Once I know she has received it,
I'll show you what's inside!

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Last night we all went to see the stage show of Mary Poppins.
It was wonderful. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.The singing was fantastic. The staging was amazing. They are so clever with the sets. If you get the opportunity, go see it.

What I've Been Up To!

Thought I'd show you what I've been up to over the holidays. I finally put my butterfly garden cushions together.I made this Stack n Wack quilt two or three years ago.When I trimmed up all the blocks I was left with lots of thin strips. Not wanting to waste them, I trimmed all the strips to 1" and then joined them. I then put together this table topper. I think I will put it on our dressing table as it matches the quilt.Of course I'm still working on my double wedding ring quilt. I've also been working on a Christmas stitchery and another couple of special projects. You'll just have to wait to see those.

To finish off with, I thought you might like to see Billy enjoying a shower! Although you can't see it, it is actually raining and Billy just loves spreading his wings.

2010 Collingwood Premiership Cup and floods!

On Sunday Mitchell and Nelson headed down to the Diamond Creek Football Club where the 2010 Collingwood Premiership Cup was on display. They were quite excited as they got to hold it.It's not everyday to get to have an AFL Premiership Cup in your hands!

I thought I'd show you some photos from Saturday when the Diamond Creek flooded again. It all happened in less than an hour!
