Hello from Johannesburg

Well, I am kind of surprised that I have not made a post since Jan 1! little blogging absence that I am sure has resulted it the hordes of people watching to believe that I had fallen off the face of the earth.

I am here on a business trip to train and ensure that a product release is ready for a go live in the coming weeks. So far the trip has been busy to say the least - I am sure that you okes don't want to know much about that. Here are the few happy snaps that I have been able to take.

I left Melbourne late on a Tuesday and spent 17 hrs overnight transiting in Perth for a very comfortable flight on an SAA plane (with 2 seats - thank you very much) got some sleep and arrived at 4.30 am on Wednesday morning. Talk about a red-eye flight.

I promise that the pictures and story for tomorrow will be more interesting.

Pick and Pay - amazing shop looks like a photo shoot..

On a wall for the short stroll to the office...

Friday afternoon at the office...

Where abouts

Hi - I am over here at the moment --->
just click on the link to our other blog and have a read and leave some comments if you would like.

More Photos

Not much to say this evening ~ the photos can do the chatting...

This shows the binding and backing ~ love the Liberty!

Some more detail and introducing the other project recently finished for Bill!

Flying in the breeze at least this one will clear the ground!

Hexagons finished!

Hexagon project completed – the Liberty fairy tells me that it was 21st November @ 6.30 pm!

Lovely and healthy 195 cm x 223 cm, that large that I could not fully suspend the quilt from the clothes line!

Binding frenzy

Hello all - been missing in work land over the past couple of months, but have been steady on the Triangles and binding for Hexagons! about to turn the second last corner on the quilt and may get that completed this weekend.

Planning some pictures over the weekend as we are away over the mountains at Taggerty with the Van - will be great to get away for the first weekend of the season.

New Toy

Those who have been used to posts including lovely glossy picture of projects and events that I have been enjoying - sorry I still have to replace the camera since the house was broken into.

Anyway - got myself a new toy as I am going to start to bind the hexagon Quilt very soon as it completed (minus the binding) - I even have to take some pictures of a new quilt that I have completed in my blogging absence. Not to mention the many block of the months that I have also been working on - busy busy...

I used this over the weekend and was amazed at the ease in sewing the binding on!! ponders the thought of leaving on for ever as it is my new best friend. I have a kit to do from Red Mama - and an idea of for a Simon design for my scraps and lots another solid colour - not sure just yet.


I must add that I have borrowed the image from Bernina - the foot is the presser foot number 50.

strange contacts

I think it is interesting to get a strange 'hello' message out of the blue. When these come from people who you don't trust and are known to tell a message that is convenient to themselves and their 'truths'.

It is even stranger when these are from sources that should be under no illusion that they are no longer respected as there actions proved that they were not worthy of acknowledging in fact worth crossing the street to avoid them. Even stranger is that there are clear indications that you have (edited - deleted them from your own list of contacts) been deleted from a contact list, yet they engage on a fishing expedition for Intel, or some such thing to boost there ego - or maybe even continue the great tradition of being a bully...

My truth is that I was able to say hello, without the need to share my true thoughts and opinions – and yes I know that I have many of these. I guess that I know my faults are many, I live with these and try to manage on a daily basis – those of others should be best left to them...
