Back home again

This has been a  busy week, Wednesday I headed up to Gisborne for a hairdressing appt and an afternoon of stitching and chatting at Donna's in her studio
In the evening when we went back to the house some locals had come for a visit

they were not bothered by us having a look at them, 

they are all regulars at Donna's.
Thursday I wandered back home and did some geocaching on the way
I discovered that Houdini flew a plane he had brought from France with him while on an entertainment tour, in Diggers Rest! The things you discover while out geocaching!!

It was a beautiful late morning

lots of cloud coming in though.
When I arrived home I found some happy mail that brought a BIG smile to my face!

A pattern from Susan at Thimble Stitch, her first! Love her Doing the Rounds quilt. You can buy this pattern from Susan.

and a beautiful fat quarter from Michelle, wonderful Aboriginal fabric, posted from Humpty Doo!! What a great place name! Thank you Michelle I love it!

Today I have been into Geelong to a birthday lunch for Linda, for her three score and ten birthday. It was at La Vista Italian restaurant, we had a wonderful meal and good time.
On the way home I looked for one geocache, it said in the note to beware of the cache guardian

I understand why now!!
Some stitching has been happening
I have one legless lady to fix up

and one armless maid!! Lucky I saw them now!
I am off to do some secret sewing.

Happy sewing and happy weekend.

  9. Such a wonderful sight, all those Kangaroos.... Just FYI there is a park down at Redcliffe (near Brisbane) called "Humpybong Park" and there's a Humpybong School as well..... The name always put a smile on my face when we drove past.
