Hi there strangers. Haven't had much of a chance to come in here for a while. I will have missed all your conversations but there's too much chatter to go back over.

Thought I'd visit the Quilt show at Hamilton Gardens this weekend - it's always such an inspiration. I always want to touch the quilts and look behind them but the ladies with the white gloves come round to help - it's just not the same!

Well it was all gone by the time I came back so dilli won't need her KFC after all!! I have been outside watching all the animals. The wind came up and they all went nuts. Brooke and Tabitha were chasing each other all over the yard ( whenBrooke wasn't hunting down leaves and killing them that is ) and DD's foal was hooning around his paddock while the goat was skipping all over the show too. Very entertaining and just a little bit time wasting...but fun.
Got the inner borders on my hanging I started with Mary Transom at the weekend but am struggling with what to use for the outer ones.
Everyone had a good day>
Ooooh twi...I have been meaning to tell you for ages that A's cat was suffering with a sore foot and has been on a strong antibiotic for a few weeks. She has been told that it could lead to feline aids. Apparently the sore foot thing that he has is quite rare but she said it is getting better. I have been thinking about Angel and hoping he is doing okay so was thrilled with the update.
See you later alligators.

All ok here after the shake. I was in the parked car waiting for Missy and it took a moment or two to work out why the car was rocking! I was pleased I didn't hear till much later that it was a 5.2! On a sad note our ratty girl, Skippy, crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon.Rats could teach us humans a lesson or too about tenacity and a fighting spirit!

aw wee sorry to hear about your rattie skippy :(
jumbo the vet said today that the foot thing that Angel has does have something to do with aids and he wont recover all together :( hope A"s cat gets better soon

Thanks skippie...I was ready for that!
So sorry to hear about your rattie wee...I hope the kids are all coping with the loss. It's a biggie for them. I bought a picture book the other day...I think it is called The Short But Incredibly Happy Life of Riley...a comparison of rats and humans. An excellent book with a fantastic moral. Older kids have really enjoyed it at school and it has been great for discussion about want versus need. I know that I have very few needs but heaps of wants!! Especially related to the activities on this thread....
Have a great day doing whatever rips your nightie.
BTW my dance pracise went well last night...should be ready for filming soon.........

sorry for your loss wee, its always hard to lose a pet. they are never just animals, they are a loved member of our families :(
Yes girls im ok after yesterdays rumble in the jungle, was going through some drawers at the time and keeping an eagle eye on the wee tv on top hoping it wasnt going to fall on my head! Instead the only thing that did fall was my mop (first bit of movement its had in a wee while lol)
another saturday on the soccer run again today, at least the wind isnt quite as bitterly cold as it was last week. My girl got 'hardest trier' award for her game which was up against her boyfriends team! He got 'hardest trier' for his team too lol
have a great day girls

Yes coalie...coffee was well welcome. I have been stitching more wonky stars. I have 20 of them now but I don't know how I will put them together yet. Some are more wonky than others as well. I have seen the blue and white skippie is doing and it is ...as usual...gorgeous.
Soup and toast for tea here. We had a good breakfast and a good lunch and neither of us is overly hungry tonight...so nice and easy.
Enjoy your evening...I have more riverdance work to do. I must say it's more like ' up the creek '...

I also love the quilt coalie...it would be nice on any lucky bed...and I'm sure cats would love to lie upon it. Muttley is watching the rugby...I am feeling quite tired, but might do a couple of squares to go with the stars I think. We have a cat door and it is fun watching them try to work it all out. Maybe they are special needs cats...they are taking a while to realise they don't need me to push them through it!
Anyone got summit noice for snupper??

Morning All
Happy birthday for yesterday shell hope you had a good day
Coalie love the jelly roll quilt. lovely colours.
The day yesterday was fabo.
the show was just fantastic and yes saw jumbo shaking the hall/Aotoroa centre
The only downer was they had put new seats in the Aotaroa centre and they were very low which actually hurt to sit down in and a job for me to get out of.
But we had a fantastic day and I promptly fell asleep watching new tricks last nite so missed the ending.........
Have a busy morning with group (which was transferred from yesterday to today) then a oma nap after that. as will be sewing tomorra again
I AM COMING FOR THE PORK ROAST jumbo my favourite meat is pork.
thanks for the brekkie two coffees plz.
on me way to tell coalie about yesterday. heheheheeee
Have a funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-
day
