New Tool

I picked up a parcel this morning and in it was a new punch I ordered from Custom Crops.

The punch embosses at the same time it punches. I have yet to master corners but have been punching card as well as paper.

One more week.....

Yes one more week of holidays for us. Hopefully Kirsty and I will do a bit of play and also maybe a little bit of revision. Though I am sure the revision part she would like me to forget.

We have just had a week in Brisbane with my family. It is always great to go down for a visit but always great to come home. Especially when you leave your husband for a week.

I am sure Cameron had a very quiet week with out the noise of the children.

Apart from being sick for the first part of the holidays and getting food poisioning at the end, the week was OK.

We did some visiting and shopping (towards the end of the week) and we also spent a day at Dreamworld. We went with my Sister Maree, Brother David and the children Ashleigh and Rachel. We had a great day and as it was David's birthday, it was an extra special day. Well Ashleigh and David managed to talk Maree and I into going on the Tower of Terror. How I do not know... Well below is the photo that was taken shortly after we took off. OH MY GOODNESS. Are probably the only words printable that I could say. There were soooooo many colourful words that I did say on the 27 second ride. The ride was going 157kilometres and I am sure that it got to this speed within seconds of taking off.

And I would go again. It was FABULOUS......... Check out the expressions of some of the others. LOL.

Till next post.
XXXXXXX

Did I do that....

Well I should have had my mother take photos of me sewing this as I don't believe I made it either. I decided that I wanted to make Lyn (Cameron's mum) a quilt for her 60th Birthday. And in the spirit of the West gene I left it to the last minute. Well I always say that my mum works best under pressure and maybe I have inherited a bit of this too as I managed to make my very first quilt in just one and a half days. Yep that's right this quilt was made by me and in only a short time. I know I can't believe it either.... LOL

Now I am hooked and want to start another quilt. I am now thinking of ways to decorate Kirsty's room. It is very addictive that's for sure.
