Oh what a wonderful Mother's Day


I had a fabulous Mother's Day

I awoke to discover



These beautiful flowers, along with two blocks of my favourite dark chocolate


Sitting on my kitchen bench,


they were a gift from Mister T ( Miss S's boyfriend)


Don't you love the way the light is streaming in through the windows making the flowers glow


Soon gadget and Miss S were up, I think they were more excited than me. They impatiently watched me make my cup of tea and I soon had two beautifully wrapped pressies placed in my hands.


Gadget instructed me which to open first and tah dah



An iPad mini

It is so cute




This is it in it's case




This is my mini ready to make it's first blog post

My mum came down and bought me some more gorgeous flowers



Mothers days flowers grown in her own garden, I just love mothers days flowers.....these have found a home in my jug from Nundle in my sewing room

We then travelled in to The Grind cafe, in Darby st, Newcastle to have breakfast, sadly Miss M and Just M ( miss m's partner) couldn't join us as they both had to work. Although Just M was only metres away cooking in the kitchen.

After breakfast we headed home and I spent some nice quality time with my mum


For lunch we joined some of our friends (Mister M's parents) for a picnic over looking the gorgeous Lake Macquarie.

In the evening Miss M and Just M arrived bearing yet more gifts.



Miss M had hand made these gorgeous t bags from my favourite T2 , if you look closely you can see the beautiful little stitches she made.....

They also gave me this beautiful box of DVD s


Audrey Hepburn is one of my favourite actresses and now
I have hours and hours of movies to watch. . . . .

I had a wonderful Mother's Day


And I hope all my wonderful friends had a fabulous Mother's Day too

" I hope your hands are working on a project that you love"

ciao

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
