This and That

  Pleased to say have finally finished
my mytery quilt that was started in 2008.
Finished the binding on 31-12-09.                          

                                                                                           

I ran out of the green fabric so could only
put on a small border and then another yellow
one.
                                                                           

After unpicking the quilting the first time round
I am happier with it now.                                   

Loved this pattern for a cushion when I first saw it so decided it would look good on my new outdoor lounge. Now I need to make a few more but with different patterns on.

Yesterday there was a parcel in the post. It was the last of my "Cobblestone Swap"

What will I make out of these lovely blocks???

The Shack

After posting my new header a few people have commented on it. So as promised will show some phoots of the shack, which is tucked behind the sand dune on the left as you look at the photo.

Five star accomadation and it even has an ensuite!!!!          

The beach on the other side is just divine for both swimming and fishing.

 The children play for hours. They love playing in the sand or sliding down the dunes.

Our Xmas Part 1

On Xmas Eve we had  a BBQ with our family and friends . It was a lovely evening and we had a beautiful meal and a few drinks.

DD 1 had made a Santa Pinata and the young ones had a wonderful time whacking him.

We all had a good laugh watching them until finally his head burst open much to the childrens delight.
