2011. The Year that Was…

by Bette_H, in category Musings

very busy. Throughout the year there were times when I did not know whether I was coming or going.  I did not reach all of my goals, but I don’t care!  Through out the year, some of my goals changed.  And I am comfortable with that. In 2011, I attended Grampians Texture for the second… Read More

Peaceful Times

by Bette_H, in category out and about

Last weekend we were invited to spend the weekend down at Phillip Island with my Brother-in-law and his family.  It has been many years since I was last down at the Island.  But it is as beautiful now as I remember it being 20 years ago.  We stayed in a holiday house at Cape Woolamai.… Read More

31 Days of WIPs and UFOs

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized
