A quick catch up

It's amazing how time gets away......I just read my last post and realized that its nearly 3 months since I have blogged......

In that time I don't feel that I  have really achieved much at all.......although I have been extremely busy......

Jens and I have been to visit my sister and her husband at Airlie Beach for their housewarming party, their birthdays and their wedding anniversary......I made a jelly roll race quilt for them and they loved it...

putting the binding on 

 Mum and Dad flew up with us...we all had a great weekend although Dad struggled with pneumonia again....

My Dad has been in and out of hospital many times in the last 3 months.....which is very stressful for all of us.... at the moment Dad has an ulcer on his leg, even with the Blue Nurses coming and changing his dressing the infection was getting worst and Dad was admitted to hospital again on Saturday.....

So during this stressful time I have been putting my energy into the garden.......after having the house painted I decided to paint the fence

this fence is 8m long

I had a few raised eyebrows and lots of Oh"s from friends ( and hubby) when I told them how I was going to paint the fence.....now that it is done I love it and so does everyone else......

there is still a little more work to be done on this side of the fence

There are a couple more gates and small fences to paint but at the moment its getting too hot to be out painting....this gives me time to spend some time in the Studio to finish a free motion sample......and a couple of other Ufo's...


It feels good to be back blogging...next post I will tell you about the road trip Jens and I have been on with the relatives from Germany......
