Road Trip!

Where I live we have been in Drought for the last 12 Years.

On the Front Page of our Local paper it had the words Floodgates are Open, Now this doens't mean that we are no longer in a drought but the signs are good.

We took a Road trip to Laanecoorie Reservoir to see it spilling over for the first time in 11 years.

Lots of locals from  around the area had the same idea, A steady stream of 'tourists'  doing the same as us!

On the way home we went to another water storage close by and this one is not so full.

Cairn Curran Reservior got to the stage it was basically dry, now it looks like this......

Hopefully the Rain will continue to Fall..........

It's a Start!

Each evening I sit and do a few Hexagons, They are great to do while watching TV. 

(No Concentration needed)

When they reached the top of the box,

 I counted them and have done just over 300.

To my dismay when you lay them out it doesn't seem much.

Only about 800 to go,Lucky I really enjoy doing them!

Daylesford Craft Experience 2010

I am Happy to Report that the Daylesford Craft Experience was Awesome!!!!!
There were 100 ladies attending on the First day at Peppers Convention Centre in Hepburn The Spa Centre of Victoria.

After being welcomed we were introduced to the Designers, Melaine from Melly and Me, Jodie from Ric Rac, and Annette whose Japanese inspired cross stitches were Beautiful!

My Haul for the Day....These were the kits I purchased, 2 Bucket Kits and the 2 Bags Made out of sugar Fabric...

The goodie bag contained Seven unreleased patterns especially design for the Weekend....



The day was very laid back with a lot of talking and laughter....

Jodie demonstrated the Gecco Stamping machine which she had made the postcards out of for us to stitch....

This is the awesome one I got back....

If any of you get the opportunity to go to next year's event I can highly recommend it

The food was of a very high Quality and we seemed to always be eating.

I know the Day was good as I didn't look at my Watch once and it was over before I knew it.
