Friday Night Stitching & Light Sabres!

-
I joined in with others last night for Friday Night with Friends hosted by Chez, and while I stitched away I was entertained by my 9 year old grandson who was excitedly extolling the virtues of light sabres vs other weapons available to leggo characters!



Let me tell you how hard it is to look at the actions of each character and continue to stitch on the lines! LOL! It takes a mini-series to explain all of the inner workings of each piece! 
There was no opportunity to close ones eyes!
I did however finish the stitching on my newest project and now it is ready for the next stage.


I also did a bit on a new album I am making. The paper is called Tea Break by Kaiser Craft.


And after a story on Better Homes and Gardens we decided we would do some melted crayon art in the morning and had a hunt around for the items we would be needing. Lucky Nonna has a well stocked craft room.


Thanks again to Chez for hosting last night. Pop on over to her blog and check out what everyone else was up to .......and may the force be with you.

    That's a lovely stitchery design, Heather. When I read about your grandson it reminded me that when I was teaching, little boys would tag along with me while I did playground duty and spend the time getting me up to date with toys and computer games! Lol

    Your stitching is so, so pretty! It must be fun listening as your grandson plays with his Legos. My guys loved them so much. I have bins and bins of Legos up in the attic. Even though they're in their twenties now...I don't dare get rid of them! xo

 I have decided to blog again after a lengthy absence. I guess I'm not alone, as others have decided to quit blogging and then returned. So........the story so far. I have been retired for a couple of years now and have settled into a new way of life with my hubby of 53 years. No more early starts or late finishes. When I hear the rain at night, I simply turn over and go back to sleep! You might think that I would learn to sleep in... but alas, I have not! I take my cup of tea out into the early morning light and just admire the beautiful beginning of the day.  It's very peaceful at this time of the morning with only the company of my 3 dogs. Hubby stays inside reading the paper, but that's what retirement is supposed to be....doing something or doing nothing! Lagerstroema or Crepe Myrtle As the wet season is currently keeping the yard wet, wet, wet, there is not much going on in the garden. I do put on my wellies from time to time and slosh about in the yard hoping my Anth...

 It is good to be participating in the sew in again, and what's even better, is that I can stitch with everyone while recuperating from a nasty respiratory virus! 😷   I have been working on A Day in Happy Land for a while now and although I have recently completed all the blocks, there is the quilting to be done. So..........now I am starting back at block one.   I started this quilt a good while ago and it was an easy and light project to take to my craft groups. Everyone would comment and tell me it would take forever to finish......I used to just laugh and keep going.   Lately the ladies have been surprised at quickly I had motored though them and that I was almost finished. I can't wait to do a show and tell! The wet season helps when you can't get into the garden and the craft room is the only option!  I think I have finish quilting blocks, 1,2,11 and 12. I can't wait to see what everyone is up to . Check out Wendy's blog and FB for updates.     ...

A Change of Pace

At a time when there are a lot of people out of work it almost seems like something crazy to do, but do it I have! What is it you ask! That's right! Taking off the high heels and giving up the work travel, putting away the laptop and the fancy bags....oh!... I might keep the bags! I do love a stylish bag.....but after 23 years in Health Management I have decided to give it all away and not work in management any more but to go back to my love of being a nurse and work very part-time. No more worrying about staffing, no more on call, no more budgets and no more full-time work, no more policies, no more reports to the health minister! My last day will be this Friday and I start on a new chapter of my life. I want to be able to do more stitching and sewing, cooking and spending time with the grandchildren. Makes it sound like it's me, me, me, me! I guess it is but it took lots of thinking and reflection on what I have achieved over the last twenty odd years...
