cruising time is here !


today's the day ... the countdown is over !

I've been on the sunshine coast with my mum and dad for the past few days and we meet with the rest of my family in a few hours to board the Pacific Dawn in Brisbane - out to sea for 12 days with stops including Fiji ... well that was the picture the other day - last night we heard that tropical cyclone evan is also on its way to Fiji so things might change - fingers crossed that it doesn't hit any of the islands !

It will be such fun to catch up with the family and sail the Pacific Ocean at the same time :)

just before I go I thought I'd show what I've been sewing this week - a couple of cushions for my sister-in-law

and a table runner for one of my nieces - nothing like last minute chrissy sewing !


Hope you all have a great holiday season and I'll be back just before the new year :)

fresh sewing day

ummm .. I'm a few days late but what's new !

I haven't done any sewing for almost a week so I've got nothing new to show but as I didn't link up with Lynne's fresh sewing day in October I was really surprised when I went to make a mosaic to link up this month - I seem to have made a few things in October and November - which will make up for my no show in December :)

If you're new here from Lily's Quilts - welcome - and just so you know - I think I might already be in cruise mode as I'm heading to the south pacific in 9 days and 18 hours but I do have a few blocks that need to be done before I leave so I will get some sewing done in December !

I've actually got two mosaics - that's what I love about fresh sewing day - just when you feel like you haven't done that much you can link up to Lynne's blog and see that you have made some progress :)
