January 2023
Well Hello 2023 I feel like this month snuck up on me and knocked me over. IThis post has a lot of pictures.
We ended the year with a quick trip to Wollongong, Anorina from sameliasmum.com and I caught up for a shopping spree and lunch, it was great to see her again, watch out if you do see her she is an influencer of fabric buying. I bought some lovely clothes and a lot of fabric.
Son no.3 and his partner came up to our place for Christmas day and stayed for almost a week it was great to see them, then my niece and her little family came for a couple of days. We took the boat out to Lake Keepit with a new skitube, the little girls wouldn't go on it after seeing Brad being dumped from it, there was too much air in the tube and he couldn't stay on.
This is a project bag that I made for a friend I amazed myself with the quilting it turned out so good. This is the first book fininsh of the year it was a great story set in Queensland but a lot of the places mentioned were around here too.
That's it.

December Already?
OH MY how is it December already? It's obviously a sign of old age that the year has slipped by so fast.
What have I done this last month..... I read a few books, and I enjoyed the first two , Where the Truth Lies was a bit disappointing for me the main character was a feel sorry for me I drink too much character.
We had a friend come and stay a couple of weeks ago she was so surprised how nice the town and outlying area was all the media has been about floods and how ravaged the countryside is so it was nice to show her how nice the place is.

Mudgee Sewing Weekend
Well I had a great time at Mudgee with the Coolah Cottage Patchwork girls. The weekend started early Friday, I drove to Coolah and went to the Lovely Kate's house and parked my car, loaded hers and off we went. We stopped at Gulgong for lunch and a wander around a few shops. I didn't take any photos we were chatting too much. We went to the Gallery which is a craft co-op and then Stacks which I am sure is a neverending row upon row of aisles and the most amazing selection of stuff! I think we lost and hour and a half there, there were phone calls to see where we were. Then on the way back to the car we stopped in a little antique shop, another hour gone. So we got out of shopping mode and got into the car and off we went. In mudgee we had to go find a Sussan shop, it's not there anymore, Kate had forgot to pack her pyjamas, so Big W it was. Then we went to the River Cottages B and B I think thats their name, and unpacked the car with the help of two teenagers, they didn't come with the B and B they were waiting for their dad. The rooms were ready, the machines set up and I was sewing.

Another Flood!!!
I think this is the 5th time the Namoi River has broken it's banks since we moved here 17 months ago. There is so much water around, we have had over 80mms of rain since Friday the poor people down the end of our street and out beyond must be tired of the water. I heard one family have tresltles in the house to put the furniture onto.
