I have been sewing hexies.

 Moving on with a UFO. I have been working on my Japanese hexies.

I am on the last one. Then I will get out the sashiko blocks and work out what I have to do next.

All my other mystery surprise hexies are done. I can’t show them yet but please be patient.

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY to my dear daughter KRISTY......

This is a little late putting up photos of our cruise. Kristy has only just celebrated her 30th birthday.

I took Kristy away on a cruise to celebrate. She really deserves it. It was at a time when we both needed some time away from home and some time together.

She was so excited because she has never been out of Australia before.

So we flew to Brisbane from Melbourne, onto a ship to Vanuato, LIFO & New Caledonia....

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY KRISTY.

luv you lots

Relaxing in the sun

How peaceful is the water

Look at the fun I got up to with my daughter.

Kristy and I had so much fun on our cruise. The last night party was the best. The staff were wonderful and the talent was so entertaining.

Have a laugh.

 Last Night of our Cruise.
We Could Walk 500 Miles

I've been absent but I'm back

Some of you might have noticed I haven't been commenting on your blogs. You all know what has been happening in my life. Yes, like everyone, I have been busy.
My husband and I decided our daughter needed a fun holiday for her 30th birthday. She has been dealing with a lot. So we thought she would like a cruise. We planned it, booked it, paid for it and then things changed....
Our house went on the market, my husband had a stroke. Luckily he is recovering well. With all that I needed a holiday. Some people say I am selfish but you know what, maybe I am. Yes I needed a holiday. My husband was looked after and we have some good friends. My daughter and I need some time together too. So our holiday went ahead.
This was us over the past week enjoying a cruise to the South Pacific. Stopping at all stations.
NOUMEA, LIFOU NEW CALEDONIA & PORT VILA, VANUATO....

The town hall
My cultural part of the holiday...........

A GOOD START TO OUR HOLIDAY.
Kristys breakfast in beautiful sunny BRISBANE

Look at this yummy breakfast.
It was better than what was at the motel we stayed at but that's another story..

Enjoying a FLUFFY DUCK cocktail for Keryn

Kristy saying, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN .
We couldn't let the balloons go but we enjoyed them all week.

Acknowledging my son,  JOHN, what would be his 22nd birthday 

Just a little bit of fun we had.
NO WE DIDNT WIN ANYTHING 

We did relax a little.
Somewhere at sea.
Luckily we had a pedicure before we set off..

I am sure when I have settled and Kristy and I have shared photos there will be more.
NO SEWING HAPPENED. I WAS TO BUSY HAVING FUN....
