Just thoughts for the week!!!!!

Well I have been thinking:

I need to get some projects going again, but
and here is always a but, I have to make
tea for the bowling club again. Now coming
to mind that I have always thought (incorrect)
that being a tea girl job would just suit me fine,
and since being in the kitchen of the bowling club
I have found that tea making is no easy job.
Now I am being punished with this hard boring job
(which I am doing willingly to help the club) which
reminds me of the movie "Tooth Fairy". So I have
two days of tea making for 60 persons and am doing
it with a smile, tea girls always have smiles on their
faces and most of the time I dont even know the persons.
hehehehehe

Well I also need to get some projects completed for our
Quilt Show at the end of August, you'll ask why so long
before, well making all these lovely items is not something
ones makes in a few hours, some of the items take a month or
longer, even had a quilt take me three years to complete just the
hand quilting. Which of course was very rewarding when done, as
a job well done. I am sure lots of you know that feeling, no matter
how tired one gets of that item one needs to complete the journey
started.

But in the meantime its back to being a tea girl and this one needs
some delicious hot coffee now.

Hugs and take care and have a blessed week.

More handwork done by me and Matts new friend.

This is my Cat wallhanging now completed and I love the bright colors.



This is a crochet cloth that I crocheted in 1975 



Here is a bedspread that I crocheted in 1984 and won a prize for it.
The pink pillow covers are from a friend Pamela in Florida USA

This is now another orphan to join the family, and its is still alive now after a week with
the kids and Skye the new kitty just loves it. Matts is very happy
as he has two new best friends around.

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Today I have been blogging for 4 years and I cannot believe how fast time has gone by.
Also the amount of stitching I have completed and still have to complete.
Well now I need to have a coffee to celebrate the 4 years.
Thank you also for sharing this journey with me. I have made many wonderful friends over
the years even though we have never seen each other I know that you are specially chosen
for me. Hand picked flowers just for me. So huge hugs to you all.

Charka our kitty

This is Charka now after being with us for some time now

We have playtime every morning and I just love how the sun is shining through his earts.

Wild flower season now starting when these appear

 These are flowers that bloom every year in March but I have never

seen them in March but they come in April now and this is the first

time I have seen them in such a huge group at "Karoo Kop" just outside

Clanwilliam at the turn off to Boskloof. What a fantastic site to see

so now we know winter is on its way. Hope we have lots of rain

this winter.

 

Cats!!!!!!

This is my cats wallhanging that I am working on and the top is nearly completed.
