On the First Day of Christmas…

by Bette_H, in category out and about

Can you believe that it is only 12 Days to Christmas?  Yeah, me neither! Today I gave myself the day to enjoy.  To play.  I spent the morning with some of the wonderful Melbourne Casketeers.  We are part of a world wide group of needleworkers striving to reach the pinnacle of a needleworker – create… Read More

Crazy Saturdays…

by Bette_H, in category out and about

What a crazy day I had yesterday!  For the first time in more than 12 months I went to Mrs Martin’s Quilt Shop for a stitching morning! It was great to be able to just sit and stitch.  No feeling of “I should be…” or feeling guilty because “I have to…”  I just sat there… Read More

Friends and Places

by Bette_H, in category out and about

Just over 2 weeks ago, a friend asked me if I wanted to go to the Scrapbooking and Papercraft expo that weekend.  I had been considering it, but as I am primarily an embroiderer and a quilter, I had not yet made the decision to go.  But once my friend invited me … well that… Read More

Winding Ways 2013

by Bette_H, in category out and about

The past 6 months have been really crazy busy.  Between work and home, I have had little time to focus on anything else.  So with the start of the mid year school holidays, I decided to go on a little road trip.  Just me, myself and I. This year’s Winding Ways shop hop was organised… Read More

Spring

by Bette_H, in category out and about

I love this time of year.  The plants are starting to flower, the days get longer and are slowly getting warmer.  Most of the time I hate the colour of my house, though it does blend in with the surroundings.  But right now, it really makes some of the flowers pop.   Today we visited… Read More

Happy Father’s Day

by Bette_H, in category Family Time, out and about

Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there. Today, as I celebrate Father’s Day with my husband and father, I am thinking of another father.  An invalid.  One who, despite being financially in a bad place, fought to get his son out of a bad situation.  His son is a lovely… Read More

Grampians Texture…

by Bette_H, in category out and about

While I was at the Girl’s Day Out, I had the pleasure to meet a lovely lady from up near Horsham.  I mentioned to her that I regularly went up to that area each year to attend the Grampian’s Texture.  And promptly remembered that I had not yet put up a post about my last… Read More
