Home from the Mountains

Not long back from a holiday down South.

Had a fabulous 3 days at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains with my very special friends, The Satellite Stitching Sisters. We meet twice a year in a wonderful country home where we enjoy each other's company, eat, drink and talk and also manage to do lots of sewing! We have known each other for almost 20 years, and our weekend retreats are the only time most of us see each other.

Also spent some time with my mum in Sydney, and that is always good. Mothers' Day was spent at a BBQ lunch at my brother's, with all the family, so mum really enjoyed that.

Came home to some gorgeous packages of fabric and gifts from my birthday swap partners. Thank you Janelle, Sylvia, Julie D, Julie S and Kerri - I will be thinking about what to do with them over the weekend.

Also got a surprise combined birthday and Mothers' day present from my son and daughter - a new plasma TV! My poor old one was about 15 yrs old. Now all I have to do is learn to drive the new one!
