Its Raining.....

No its pouring ~ again !!!

Did you need proof ??

I think we're about extremes here in Brisbane, its either water restrictions and you just about aren't allowed to clean you teeth using water ~ or we're UNDER water, as per present conditions.

Not quite cyclonic like Nov 16 thankfully. This was the same photo that fateful day.

This is another ~ our church is the grey building hiding behind the trees

This is what the roads of The Gap looked like for days/weeks after

Hopefully we won't have to go thru something like that again. Some of my friends are still not able to live in their homes. Ours isn't repaired yet, but at least we can live in it.

Sunday Stash on Monday ~ #1

I have just joined Sunday Stash. I love fabric, I always have. I am fast turning into a quilter with a problem. I'm addicted but its ok, coz I admit it. I have also found out theres a name for me ~ I'm a fussy cutter. Well most of the time. I have surprised myself too with stepping way outside my usual comfort zone of shabby pink roses and venturing into other colours and combinations. I hope that one day my quilting will look like a quilt is meant to, with matching corners and I will learn how to stipple quilt ~ I just LOVE it....This is my first stash photo, its going to take me a month of Sundays (or is that really a year) to get thru my stash.

I'm loving the chocolate brown and the greens/blues in the paisley. I need to add to this before I can start cutting it up.

I think thats it for my first post. Suggestions, ideas and comments very welcome !
