CRAZY WEEK

Where has the year gone????? Off running somewhere???? I can't believe that January is nearly over. The schools started and since then we have been coverring lots of books, signing a lot of forms ( shame for all the teachers that have to organise all the kids and sorting all the forms) My dear son is in Grade 7 this year, next year it will be Highschool.

I have started with a lovely project. I bought  HOME SWEET HOME by Barb Adams and Alma Allen. I saw the quilt in Supergoof's blog. I started with the first block today. There are 9 blocks. I love to do handwork and will be doiing the blocks by hand. I am using the freezer-paper method.

I also made 2 hexies.

Have a great day.
Love

a great email I received

TEQUILA AND SALT

This should probably be taped
to your bathroom mirror
where one could read it every day.
You may not realize it,
but it's 100% true.


1. There are at least two people in this world
that you would die for.


2. At least 15 people in this world
love you in some way.


3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you
is because they want to
be just like you.


4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,
even if they don't
like you.
5. Every night,
SOMEONE thinks about you
before they go to sleep.


6. You mean the world to someone.


7. You are special and unique.


8.. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.


9. When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.


10. When you think the world has
turned its back on you, take another look.


11. Always remember the compliments you received..
Forget about the rude remarks.

So.....
If you are a loving friend,
send this to everyone,
including the one that sent it to you.
If you get it back, then they really do love you.


And always remember.....
When life hands you lemons,
Ask for Gin and tonic and call me over!!


Good friends are like stars.....
You don't always see them,
But you know they are always there.


'Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though
Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway.'



I would rather have one rose and a kind word
from a friend while I'm here

Busy Day

I had a very busy day today. This morning our dog, Bobby, came into my bedroom and was gasping for air and he was very restless. I called my husband. We were very anxious. Our cat, Danny died of a snakebite a couple of months ago and we immediately thought this is what happened to Bobby. Hubby rushed him to the Vet. R916 later Bobby got home. He had a big piece of wood stuck in his mouth, between his teeth. Shame, they had to tranquilise him to work in his mouth. He is fine now, he has to drink pills for the pain. We had a big scare.

Then I went to the hairdresser and had a cut and highlites.

After having tea, I went to my sewingroom and started on Half square triangles. I will post my progress.

HST in progress

This is my One Flower Wednesday post.
I also finished a small pencilcase that I started while om holiday. Isn't the material gorgeous??  I want to show you the magazine I ordered from my favourite internet shop "Fat quarter shop" in Australia. It is the new work of Leanne Beasley and a very specail piece.
This is my Xmas gift to myself. A bag of course!!!!!!
Tomorrow I have the commitee of our quild at my house and my dearest and only daughter burned all the muffins she had to bake. I must admit that there is something wrong with our oven. Hope someone brings something nice to eat.

I am off to bed now. Have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Love
Zelda

A new year 2011

hubby and my brother
Hello all my blogger-friends




Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I had a very busy time, filled with lots of eating, drinking and celebrating. I had all my family for Christmasday and everything went well. We had too much to eat and my poor fridge was so full. It was a very hot day, so after chickenpie,lamb and salads, and TRIFLE ♥ we just wallowed in the pool.  Next year we are goiing to eat less LOL. It was so special to have all the family together.

It was also my sister's birtday on Christmasday. My dear daughter baked the delicious chocolate  cake.
This picture is of my mom with all her grandchildren. A very special picture.
