Today is quiet at home - everyone else is at work and I have been to the stores and done what I needed to do. David is working until 6pm tonight then back at 4am so he won't be much company. Chris is off to Brisbane this afternoon to spend NYE with friends and Mathew hasn't lived at home for several years now so it's just me and the doggies Toby (the kelpie/border collie x) & Orrie (long haired Jack Russell Terrier and boss of the two).
David and I are off the the states later next year so I am closely watching the exchange rate just now. I have so much planned for today - need to start the applique on a hussef for a lovely lady in Canada who is knitting the Wensleydale sheep cushion kit I bought several years agon now and which Mum tried to knit but couldn't understand the pattern, so I thought an Aussie styled thank you gift would be appropriate. I'll applique a waratah, wattle, gum leaves and perhaps a gumnut or two on the outer flap and maybe even the sides if I get adventerous enough, or should I say if I have enough time.
I bought 2 pool noodles today to make block rolls for my quilt groups stall when they have our exhibition later this year - $3 each at the Reject Shop - how could I pass that up :0)
Time to hit my stash and search for the perfect shade of red for the waratah petals - I do love to applique!
