Wall Hanging
I have finally finished my first ever stitching & patchwork wall hanging. I am thinking of entering it in the Sew Whats Crafty Stitchery competition. Got to be in it to win it. Or something like that.
Kirsty's Quilt I managed to get Kirsty's quilt finished in Brisbane before my operation. I just have to hand stitch the binding on. I hope to have this done in the next few weeks. I still can't believe I made. I can't wait to start Makayla's quilt.
Kirsty
Is there a way we can slow down the growth of our children??? Kirsty is most certainly growing up ever so quickly and growing into a beautiful young girl. Kirsty now has glasses and she looks just as beautiful with them than without. Since my operation she has been the best daughter ever (not that she was bad before) but she is always helping and nothing is too much.
Easter Camp
Our Church Youth Camp at Somerset was such a great weekend. And as you can see from some of the photos it was wet, muddy and a bit more wet. All the bits you want when camping... NOT... I had such a great time cooking that I think I would do it again. Only if you joined me Nicole and Tammy.........
Kirsty's & her friends dressed in their formal Pathfinder uniforms.
A glimpse of Kirsty after her fun in the mud. Her nick name at camp was "The Mud Princess". I hope to get some more photos of her in the actual mud.
Our camp site once all the crew arrived.
These two photos are of the grounds the day we were packing up. Yeah for mud.......
This other photo I just HAD to take. It is the model number of our port-a-loo we had for the weekend. And we checked the other camp site model numbers and they were all different. How ironnic ours was called this.
My Operation
My operation went well except for the pain but thank goodness it has reduced. My plaster cast was removed last week (thankgoodness), as it was extremely itchy. But I had a new splint made in its place. As my wrist can not move for another 4 weeks. So I am not looking forward for 4 weeks when the Hand Therapist starts to manuvre my wrist. Yeah for pain....... Well it appears that my recovery will be between 6 & 12 months. Which means I won't regain the complete use of my hand for 6 - 12 months. And I will be in some pain for this duration. But I hope to start scrapbooking in the next week and I have started doing some sewing. It's amazing what you can do with one hand....
My fingers were quite swollen here. Around a week after the operation they started to go purple and bruised from the swelling.

Not too gorry. This is the cut the specialist made on my wrist. It is about 2 inches long. I also have a hole in the top of my hand where he cut to put the camera in to look aroung. Gee I wonder if I could have gotten some photos of the inside - to scrapbook of course. LOLI have started spring cleaning the house... yeah I know how you ask.. well with a lot of help from Cameron & Kirsty. I only have a couple of rooms to do and one of them is my scrapbook room. I am moving all of my sewing into the girls old play room. Kirsty has been showing a huge interest in sewing over the past few years and my Mum & Dad gave Kirsty a sewing machine when I was last in Brisbane. I am picking up a table hopefully this week so Kirsty can start using it. I have just ordered some furniture and sewing goods so that Kirsty & I can start sewing up a storm. I will be posting photos of her work once we get the room organised.
It's my birthday in 2 more sleeps. Just in case you may have forgotten. LOL I'm still trying to work out where we might go. I am open for suggestions on some good family restaurants.
Sorry for such a long post.
To all the Mum's out there have a great Mothers Day on Sunday.
