Gremlins

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Remember the movie?  Those cute little critters that turned into nasty creatures?  Well, maybe nasty is not the word for it, but Gremlins really hit this blog big time in the first couple of weeks of the year! Late in December I decided to do my 31 Days of WIPs and UFOs again in January… Read More

31 Days of WIPs and UFOs

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

A few years I go I started a January tradition of looking at projects that I had started sometime in the past, but have yet to finish.  Last year I did not do this.  I had stitched so little over the previous couple of years that I thought it was a waste of time, and… Read More

Weekend Wanderings

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

Whew!  Today has been a busy one.  Taking kids to various events – one to the hairdresser, another to a party and the 3rd to work – kept me out of trouble all morning!  Oh, and an … interesting… trip up Mountain Highway (one word – cyclists!) to collect family photos from Tony Rawson Photography… Read More

Oh my!  I knew I had been busy, but a month! Making me happy this week: Victorian school holidays have started.  And I could sleep in this morning. I have completed one class set of assessment tasks. The school presentation balls are finished for another year.  I love doing them, but boy do they take… Read More

Making Me Happy

by Bette_H, in category Musings

It has been some time since I have written a Making Me Happy post.  Not because I have had nothing to write, but because I keep forgetting to write on a Sunday, or have so much going on, I run out of time to write. Over the last few months I have had lots of… Read More

Blue Rose

by Bette_H, in category Cross Stitch

Many years ago I subscribed to a newsletter written by Ellen Chester of With My Needle.  This was long before she started her design company.  As a result of this newsletter, I collected a number of projects along the way.  These were projects that were stitch alongs.  I started several, but never finished any. Some… Read More

The Life of a School Teacher.

by Bette_H, in category Musings

Going to work this morning was relatively easy.  The roads were quieter than usual.  This weekend is a long weekend, and many are going away.  There is the annual Winery Walkabout in North East Victoria, the snow season starts, and many just take off for the weekend. For me, this weekend signals the end of… Read More

ANZAC DAY 2015

by Bette_H, in category Musings, Uncategorized

Today we remember.  For it is 100 years ago today that ANZACs invaded the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey.  Today we honour all Australians and New Zealanders who have followed in the footsteps of these brave men and boys (the youngest to die in Gallipoli was only 14!). They shall not grow old as we who… Read More
