Last Thursday I started back at art and continued working on my pot pourri box for the loo. I'm painting sun orchids on two sides alternating with daisies with a butterfly.
See my huge Be Happy book, it's all of 2" x 1", I received it for my birthday from a dear friend and its got some lovely sayings in it and each day I randomly open it and read the saying.
Just before Christmas two friends and I went on a local shop crawl. We visited Patchwork on Pallas in Maryborough. The Craft Warehouse in Hervey Bay and Van Cootens in Howard. While at P on P I went into the back room and a couple of ladies were working on a 'stable bag', of course I fell in love with it and bought the pattern. While at TCW and VC I bought the material to make it. Tomorrow at craft I'm going to start the bag, so within the next week I should have it finished and up on the blog.
Ian and Pete are gone again. This time they're in Brisbane returning the huge clamping machine that was needed for the job in Townsville. While there they're picking up a TE tractor that Ian and another friend (Phil) bought in Imbil 12months ago and Phil (who is a boiler maker/fitter and turner - I think that's what they used to call them) has been fixing it up and repairing the broken bits. Between Ian and Phil I think they have all the implements that go on the tractor as well. Anyway its ready to go to Gayndah where Kym and Phil have bought land and are in the process of building. So my fellas are bringing it home with them and next time K&P are in Gayndah we'll take the tractor the rest of the way.
Spoke to my Dad and Mum tonight. Dad's printer died yesterday so this afternoon he went and bought a new one. This one (Cannon) scans and photocopies as well as printing. He's very happy with it.
My parents both turn 77 this year and Dad reckons he's falling apart. He has hearing aids arriving in 5 weeks and he's opted for the ones with the control on the back of the ear. My Dad has control of the remote at home and I suppose somebody should have warned the specialist about Dad and controls.
