August Update

 Well... before August gets any further along I better do a quick update as it has been some time since I was last here.... 

Early August I had a birthday worth celebrating... the big 70!! A few days before my actual birthday I celebrated over a lovely lunch in the Southern Highlands with family and a few close friends....

I finished off the day with my sisters, together with Hayley and Megan, enjoying cocktails at a local resort, Osbourne House - very conveniently just across the road from my sister's place ..... all we had to do after was find our way back down their driveway - in the dark! 

I then spent the rest of the week in Bundanoon and celebrated my actual birthday with a lunch outing with Mum and my sister... both my girls and other sister having returned home. 

Mum also had a birthday in late July....which she enjoyed with my sisters......

What else have I been doing? Well.....going back to June I once again went to Storyfest in Ulladulla...another great weekend of talks by some wonderful authors and always more books came home.....when they set up a great onsite bookshop it's a little hard to resist!! 

I have read many books over the last few months but will have photos of those for next time. 

And.....drumroll please..... I have actually finished something creative! Very much enjoyed making the felt flowers which all became part of this cushion. Now I have a number of projects lined up for further felt flowers - love that they can be hand made - very portable! And there is no limit to how you can embellish them!

Will be starting a couple of weeks leave very shortly and hoping to get some stitching done and books read..... so....back soon! 

Happy Stitching!
