G'day all. Not long till Christmas!!! Five sleeps in fact. If you have done all your Christmas shopping I do not want to know! I hurt my ankle a couple of weeks ago and that has slowed me down (I can still sew and type!!!) so I am waiting till my husband comes home tonight and tomorrow we (mostly he) will hit the shops with a comprehensive list and get what we need. Wish us (him) luck!
Not something that I normally celebrate in our Friday night post but guess what - we have 1800 likers on Facebook.
1800!!
Woo Hoo. I remember when we were celebrating 100 and then 500 and a 1000. Amazing.
A little reminder - please can you send your poppy blocks to the following address
and not to me.

Leanne made this quilt. She particularly wanted to do this quilt her dad was an Australian champion water, skier for many years. Then he went on to coach kids up until 1972. Keryn even included an article about him that was in one of the first issues of the Water Ski Magazine. Now that is special!
