Now back on line

Hi everybody

Sorry I have been off-line for about a month now - this seems to happen every year at this time - I get so tired at the end of the school year and fall in a heap. Well really I get so busy, then down hill or is it just that I completely relax after the busiest time of the year. This year also has been a massive one - I think one of the busiest for all time - what an excuse!!!
Now my husband and I will be off to India on Sunday, I will try to blog on the Ipad but I cannot put photos on - have not sorted out the issues with the Ipad but I will put information maybe once a week and some photos on my Facebook if I can get Wifi so if you are not a friend I think you can still see the information.

In the meantime all of you have a great Xmas and New Year!!!

And I promise I will back on track when I get back in the New Year so keep posted. 

Also we have had a lovely couple of months enjoying our new grandson, Charlie Edward Gummow who is growing while we speak. See new photos below:

Southern Textiles Conference

In Carol Wilkes workshop Ricci had a wonderful time and below are some of her samplers - aren't they great???

Our New Grandson - Charlie

Charlie was born on the 24 September 2013 in Melbourne and therefore is now a month old now - how time flies. And how he has grown in that month.
He is a beautiful boy and I miss him already. Hopefully we will see him next month here in Adelaide.

Charlie is SO much like his father when the same age

Charlie has won???

Well I have lost one sock - where is it my foot is cold

Charlie and his mum, Sarah - our daughter-in-law

Well here we go - can't wait till I can walk!!!

Southern Textiles

This was a National Textile Conference held here in Adelaide, South Australia last week. We had 40 participants and 4 tutors over a 4 day period,. The tutors were Carol Wilkes, Qld, Margery Goodall, WA, Effie Mitrofanis, NSW and Suzanne Gummow, SA. It was a very successful conference with everybody enjoying what they did.

Below are a few photos of the conference
