and I did...

I have been wanting to learn how to crochet for y.e.a.r.s and today I went to The Craft Hive and did - finally. Thanks so much Beth - you were an ace teacher.

End of Holidays

I am relieved. I am starting to feel a bit burned out with all the demands and activities to fill their days. Though I have really enjoyed having them around. It feels normal. Have a good day back at school today guys - not sure who will miss you more - me or the little man....

Chocolate Mousse - the french way

I am not sure if I prefer the 'French way' (no cream). Think I will go back to the old favourite.

White on Red

There is just something about white on red. Just love it. I am stitching something for a special persons birthday. Starting to really like it. Lucky them.

End of season raspberries

They have been delicious. A good way to fill in an afternoon. A drive down, picking, laughing, eating and high fiving. Perfect dessert - raspberries and home made ice cream.

In the mist of this beautiful day I have been very distracted with Yasi and flood victims. A bit speechless about it actually.

Boy Craft

Lego meets french knitting. Perfect. Middle Boy has been stitching. Not sure what he plans to do with this. Don't care - love just having him by my side still and chatty.

Can you stitch a block for a cause?

Please pop over to Helens blog at Hugs' n Kisses who has a great offer to help towards the flood victims. She has asked for people to stitch a block from her new pattern The Great Aussie Spirit which will eventually end up as a complete quilt to auction to raise money. Head over for the details.

Can you believe it

Check the icon on the right.

Look how much the total tally raised.

Every little bit added up to this HUGE FIGURE.

As said over and over Toni and her crew - simple words with BIG meaning - Well done. You - we all contributed to that big dent being raised to help the flood victims recover.

Now it is time for recovery - it will be long but the Australian spirit will ride all through!

WAY TO GO!

$305 was raised just with the auction at If Only I Had Chocolate!!!

Don't pout if you missed out on an auction. There is still time to try with the raffles being held in blog land. Go to Make It Perfect for the Raffle Master List which closes at Midday tomorrow! I have my name in a few - crossing my fingers and toes!

QLD auction finishes tonight!

This is your last chance for some awesome yummy goodies AND to assist with the raising of money for the flood relief.

I know most people have changed their auction times to 9:00 but I will keep mine open till 12 as I have not given people enough notice...
