Sydney Weekend

A family celebration last weekend in Sydney when the family gathered for Mum's birthday......
"Happy Birthday" was sung to the accompaniment of my sister playing her Ukele!
And....just to keep my "blog diary" up to date..... these cottons and fabric......
were finished a few weeks ago to become.......
.....this embroidered "Mandala".... a birthday gift for Megan in England and,  following on from her holiday in Morocco and Portugal just prior to her birthday, I decided to use "Moroccan" colours! 
A book has been read........this was the 3rd in Cormoran Strike novels written by Robert Galbraith (aka KJ Rowlings) ....enjoyed the read but found it a bit more gruesome than the previous two novels..... 
.....Catching up with friends down from Sydney and their (local) neighbours..... over a "bush" barbeque on their lovely (holiday) acreage!
Also.... some fabrics have been taken out for a quilt........
And... a word of advice..... if buying a kit and you don't plan on making it up straight away check your fabrics before putting it away in your stash! I had this kit for some years (!) and when I took it out one of the fabric lengths was short by 20cm! I did find something similar to replace it with and further progress has been made.... but more on that in my next update!!

Happy Stitching
