QUILTED GIRAFFE

ABOVE: Last night's effort... which took me from about 9pm till after midnight! I got the batting and backing on... then 'quilted' all around the edges of the giraffe and butterful... then around the inner shapes... did some 'squiggly' lines on the white and TA Daaa... I think it's ready for the binding. This one is going to be a wall hanging.... and is going to a dear friend's daughter in the USA.

'MJ' is having a baby girl in December, so it will be for her wee daughter. I hope they like it.. I'm told Giraffes are a favourite with them.

We had a wild stormy night... but it didn't keep me awake once I got to sleep!

Today: grocery shopping... tidy house... entertain dinner guests. Think I will cook a roast of Pork.... with apple sauce (out of a tin people!) ... lol.

ONWARD...

I woke up this morning feeling like shit. Sore throat, nagging headache... oh yaaa. We went out to Sylvia Park for lunch and a few bits and bobs for tonight.... came home to find this in my letterbox:

ABOVE: an incredibly beautiful necklace from Christy in Australia! How pretty is that! I sent Christy some baby booties for her new baby boy (Corbin), who is due in a little under 2 weeks.... and I sooooo did not expect anything in return! But... it is beautiful and I am sure I will wear it LOTS and LOTS! THANK YOU so much Christy!

Now that I'm home again I am going to just relax for a while and hope the pills I have just taken kick in and I feel better in time for our dinner tonight.

End of Day: our visitors arrived, we had a lovely evening... Jackie baked dessert! We had expected her to arrive with something from the shop, but no! She baked a chocolate self-saucing dessert and it was delcious... just the smell of it cooking was devine! I should cook more desserts! Or not. lol

Time to have some quiet time now, visitors have just left, kids have just gone to bed... nite nite.
