Life is changing around here

We have decided to relocate to be nearer our daughter. We are getting older and the distance to visit is just too far. So we put our house up for sale and I knew someone that was interested in buying a house, well I told them on Friday and Monday they had a look and bought it immediately all cash and the only condition was that we have to vacate it end March. So now we are moving cross country to Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape. A lovely seaside town. Then we don't have to travel over 1000km to go visit the kids and grandkids. We realize that time moves on and the kids also agree we need to be closer to one of them. Well our son is in Upington and that is not an option, but my daughter wants us to be near to her, so here we go. At this age its not easy to relocate to another place after living here for 20 years now, but we are doing it while we still am able to do so ourselves instead of having the kids come and just take over everything which is a lot of strain on them.

I am now in the process of sorting thru all my stuff I have collected over 20 years and its just so much work, uhm think I will have to take control of this fabric addiction very quickly. And now starts a new journey for us and am looking forward to it.

A Quilt for Matthew!!!!

Starting a new quilt is always so exciting.
This is the color fabric that Matthew got to choose himself.
Now I have started and this is the nine patch block and the center of
the blocks.
Am taking this step by step, because as you know by now
I have a love hate relationship with my Nina. This is all going to
be machine stitching so she is happily singing along now.

Dear Jane Blocks!!!!

Started this just for fun and do a small embroidery piece daily and this is how far this has got. uhm think this peace sign is upside down heheheh will have to remove and start that centre over.

I have been very slow doing these but here is another block of the Dear Jane
blocks, hoping to get a few done this year!

Made this bag for my SIL she has a walking cart and needs a nice basket
so
I made this for her. had to put the buttons on when we visited her to get the correct height.
