More quilting

So, to make me feel really old, my goddaughter decided to turn 21! Alright, it was inevitable, but made me feel terribly old nonetheless.
So, off to Amitie for some sophisticated, yet vintage fabric for the girl who doesn't wear jeans!
Fabric, tick; pattern, tick. A whirlwind of sewing, tick!
So, I'm pretty sure Breanna loved her quilt. I've been told it takes pride of place on her bed!

New Year's Day 2011

So, the scary day is here. The day where we all say "I can't believe it's a new year again!".
We are up on the "GOLD" Coast. It's not so Gold today though.
The drizzly rain set in hours ago and shows no sign of letting up.
We had a swim in the pool though this morning. Threw some random children around.
(must remember to not start a game if you don't want to continue it for the next hour!)
Anyway, Laurie and I got to wear our new "towel dresses" which work a treat.

Last night we wandered into town to watch the fireworks. 10 minutes of booms, oohs and aahs!!

So, the next few days will consist of reading my new book, more relaxing, swimming and a trip to Wet 'n Wild to celebrate my, uhum, 33rd birthday.
Ouch!
