gosh it's been a hectic fortnight

Wow how the time flies by, i can't believe how long it's been since  i have had time to sit down and write on my blog, for that fact to read your's so i have a quick catch up for you, grab a cuppa this may take a while before we sailed out Gadget and i had a few days in Sydney being the snap happy photographer i am, I had a ball in Sydney . . . Sydney has got the festive spirit  . . .  this pub was just up the road from where we were staying, it was incredibly busy  EVERY day of the week (oh yeh it was called the Three Monkeys) we found this amazing hotel, it is Sydney's oldest licensed pub and the longest running brewery in Sydney now don't think we spent all our time drinking we also did all the touristy things we headed out onto the harbour it was an amazing day for photo's and Gadget laughed at me as i frantically snapped away on my previous post i mentioned we sailed out on the friday morning for a three day cruise with our Coite  friends 

About to set sail

We are about to head off for a mini break, with the Coite gang, this time we have left the 4wd s and camping gear behind, we are sailing out on the pacific sun Usually we all go out for abchristmas dinner together, but decided to do something different this year. Not sure where we will be able to put the campfire So many photo's to show u when we get back Ciao Hope your hands are working on something that you love Patricia

English paper peicing

a while back i posted about my very exciting delivery from Kerry at cottage on the hill at that time they were just papers and material now i can show you a little bit of what i have  been up to i had all these pieces cut and glued ready to take to  New Zealand thinking that when i had time i would work on them i really did nt get much of an opportunity i was far too busy socialising but since returning home i have managed to get these all put together (may have had something to do with all the time i have spent catching up on my TV shows) anyway it is lovely to finally have some sewing to show you all (all the secret stitching makes it difficult  for sharing) i might be a bit slow reading all my favourite blogs for the next few days as i am about to start the dreaded night duty but will try to keep up hope your all working on something you love (or on something that someone else is going to love) ciao

New Zealand

Last week on a cold wet rainy Australian day i boarded a plane bound for New Zealand for a work conference i was accompanied by six of my work collegues i spent most of the five days we were in New Zealand inside their beautiful Aotea Centre listening to speakers from all over the world,  i was fortunate however to have the opportunity to see  a little of Auckland and Devonport This is the view of Auckland looking back from Devonport The beautiful Waitemata Harbour hope you have all been happy and healthy whilst i have been away hope your hands are working on something that you love Ciao
