my wish for today...........

my goal for today...............

a perfect day for sleeping !

We have rain,rain and more rain here at the moment with floods threatening once again.My heart goes out to those who were devasted in last months floods and here they are facing it again ! Where I live we don't actually get flooded as we have no river running throught the bay but supply trucks can't get through so we always run out of essentials quickly due to panic buying by some.                                              

Today I have my gorgeous grand daughter over as my DIL starts back at Uni today.Here she is snuggled up after an exhausting morning of playing.
Stay safe with this rain,tornadoes and even a cyclone poundering this beautiful country    cheers  Teri

trying to get some joy again.....

Love this quote above-trying so hard to implement it into my life ! The past few months seem so full of pain  and sadness for my family.Firstly my elder brother passed away suddenly a few weeks before Christmas and then  4 weeks later my younger brother passed away after a very short fight with cancer so the period over Christmas was not a very merry time for us all. 2 weeks ago my father had a serious fall and while up at the hospital  they found a huge tumor on his lungs-not good news at all. In a week we see the oncologist for a prognosis. My poor mother was so distressed over everything and had a serious car accident but luckily no serious injuries so all in all I seem to have lost my muse for anything creative. Have loved reading all the wonderful blogs out there-they are my cord with reality at present and to know life goes on.  Sorry I don't get to comment much but at times I have no words to say-so thankyou for all those wonderful bloggers out there who give me some joy !   cheers  teri

a new bowl...

thought I would share some photos of the wool felted bowls that I have been making lately as gifts.... the little felted woolen balls are from Nepal. I love the way the bowls are quite transparent in places and the light glows through

cheers teri

another quick post !

thought I would share what we made at quilt guild today. We soft sculptured these doll faces which were placed on the flap of a small felted bag---so cute ! cheers teri

in love with chevrons

another quickly made table runner made in fresh colours for spring ! I just love doing these chevrons as they are so quick to piece.... close up of the centre block-the photo doesn't do these colours justice

Back to the machine as I have a few more to finish cheers teri

christmas tree runner

Our local quilt guild has just run some great workshops making items for christmas giving us a good head start on the holidays. This is a tree table runner made using batiks as a variation on the traditional green, red and white/gold . I also added star buttons to the top of each tree and am so delighted with my finished item. I love the fabric on the back and think I can also use it reversable. Wish the colours looked as beautiful in the photos as in reality.

cheers teri

thought for the day
