Happy Mothers Day







Somehow we always say the least
to those we love the best
And hope our thoughts
are understood.
Although they're unexpressed -
That's why it means
so very much,
when days like today are here
To say how very much you're loved
each day throughout the year.
Happy Mother's Day

Started a quilt and bag

Recently I had a need to go to Adelaide, so what else is a girl to do while there, but visit Hettie’s I purchased some nice  fabrics suitable for a Boys Quilt
Spent this afternoon making a quilt from
 Anni Downs...  Hatched and Patched....  A Boys story, the quilt was so quick and easy to put together. I have only made one of the six stars required for the quilt,







A  few days ago DS#2 partner, requested a bag so started on a bag from some of the fabrics left over.  




Later in the afternoon got a few interruptions from Telemarketing calls, so lost my mojo in completing the bag, sat down and watched a DVD and made two more pies for my Pie and tart quilt. The rest of the afternoon has gone so fast, better make the move and go start on the evening meal.
 Take care  cheers Marc



Films




Several Days ago myself together with two work colleagues went to the local theatre and watched Convection starring Hillary Swank, Sam Rockwell and Melissa Leo.
 Hilary Swank plays the role of a working mother who puts herself through law school in an effort to represent and stand up to the justice system for her brother, who has been wrongfully convicted of murder.
 Conviction is based on a true story, showing how a lot of hard work and sheer willpower was able to correct an injustice.

This Friday evening we are off to see   ...................... Red Riding Hood

The film Starring Amanda Seyfried, Lukas Haas and Gary Oldman
The information we have be lead to believe is the film is set in a medieval village that is haunted by a werewolf; a young girl falls for an orphaned woodcutter, much to her family's displeasure.
  Let you know???????????

Have a great evening  ..........cheers Marc
