Tuesday Treasures….I know they look like dirty bits of rag…but they are treasures to me……these three works of art were done by each of my boys….this was there first piece of sewing and I think they did them when they were in Kindy…..they always sat on my desk at work…. about 12 months I bought them home and they now live on my sewing cabinet….I think the boys have inherited my sewing skills…….LOL….

I am sure Clare will have lots more treasures on show…so please pop over and have a look…

take care Peg….:>)

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way. And don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Yesterday 14 of our Club Quilt ladies headed off to Cobar, which is a 2.5 hour drive west….to a lovely little quilting shop …Cobar Quilt Shop…. Colleen and her girls greeted us with morning tea, a shop filled with lots of goodies, heaps of inspiration and specials, and when we left a bag of goodies was given to Carol to share amongst the group (which was filled with fabric),  a gift from Colleen, so very generous, thanks Colleen…  …..Colleen offers a great mail ordering service as well…it was a fantastic day and the perfect way to spend a Saturday….a great big thankyou to Carol for organizing our road trip to Cobar……and to my 13 travel companions thank you so much for an awesome day….
