What a way to end the year....

Catch 22...


Hi everyone,
I am so glad that Christmas is over....


... now I can post about what I have been doing...lol....
...have a look....


... I made these little wall hangings as a gift...
so of course couldn't post about them earlier  :)


As for the 'catch 22' .....

everyone  :)

Hi everyone,

thank you for the lovely comments and emails on the arrival of Lucy.  I will make sure Robyn sees them.

As to becoming an Auntie again....
I like to consider myself as the eccentric Auntie of the family who buys all the horrible noisy presents... then leaves 'til next Christmas...  I'm sure Robyn calls me something else...lol...

You better watch out....

......you better not shout....
I bet you want to 
know why....lol...

'Cause you might wake up...
baby Lucy!

Yes, Robyn's baby has been biding her 
time, and arrived last night :)

I've heard they are both well, and 
will be home soon.

Sorry, but that's all the info I have for the moment.
I will leave the rest of the news for Robyn to tell you all in the New Year when Lucy and the rest of the family combine a routine...lol....

New tricks....or blunders....!!!

Hi everyone,

I have just been publishing comments from my last post, and although I always reply via email, have also tried to leave a reply comment on my blog, however they aren't in the sequence I was hoping for!!  


Knowing me, I am probably missing something very simple, so please bear with me, and hopefully I will eventually get the hang of it..... and I can maybe pass it off as my New Year's Resolution...lol.....

I know I should be getting ready for Christmas, but.....

Hi everyone,
as you  may recall,  back in October I  attended the
Craft Bazaar in Childers....

....on the way, we made a bit of a detour....
  ....and bought  this.....!!! :)))


.....you might have to
use your imagination, but isn't
it great???  


....this photo's a bit blurry, but
the odd panel across the back in the
middle of this pic, is 
pressed metal complete with holes.....
these are meant to be there for
ventilation.

I plan to clean it up
and paint it...in my spare time...lol...

...and as you can guess, I am trying to catch up on everything, and START on Christmas presents....y..eeess...for THIS year...lol...

Happy crafting,  Jenny

to collect them all...lol...

Who else is playing along?

A rocky road......Jenny's Jaunt



Hi everyone,

As you know, my last post was one of my 'jaunts' , however my heart wasn't really in it.

I had been feeling guilty that I hadn't posted a 'jaunt' for a while when I posted the last one, but I wasn't happy with it.


I planned to write this today to say sorry to all of you, then received a happy comment about it...lol...

I promise I will continue to do more 'jaunts' ....stop groaning...lol... but will only do them when I'm happy with what I write.

I hope you continue to enjoy them.  Bye for now, and

Happy crafting,  Jenny

It's a crewel world out there........

Hi everyone,

for this journey
I thought  I would combine.....


so buckle up...lol...

Some people just don't seem to get the point how therapeutic
embroidery can be.....


It would be lovely to just sit under a lovely 
shady tree and stitch away.....

.....even the branches could lead to inspiration....

......and the number of 
stitches out there.....


.....the variety almost seems to
grow like rabbits ..lol...

 What ever you do.....
keep those needles away from
the tyres...lol...

One down.....one to go......

Hi everyone,
I hope you have all had
a lovely weekend.

I feel as though I am
still getting over the  Craft Bazaar!



Apart from getting everything back
into place, helping my mother make new
tablecloths and curtains for the display 
tables and front windows of the shop......

....I have started to get stock ready for 
the shop, and the next.... 

Craft Fair
20-21 November 2010
at the 
Hervey Bay RSL

....time to restock the
coffee and bikkies for energy 
too I think...lol...

Happy crafting,  Jenny

Not more finishes...lol....!!!!

Hi everyone,

the Craft Bazaar is
over for another year, which is a 
good thing, as I have
run out of energy food...lol...

I am happy with how the day went  :)
It seemed to start slow, but
then the time just flew.

...more to come.....

including another Craft Fair.....
I'd better go and stock up 
on some more energy food...lol...!!

Happy crafting,  Jenny
