Wednesday morning social stitching and a movie

It was so nice to catch up with all the stitching girls yesterday at social stitching. My classes started again too so I have plenty to post over the next few days. They had some lovely show and tell. It was a day of chatting and catching up with everyone. Paddy had a lanyard that her special friend had made for her. Doesn't it look great.
I love the cow button.
Paddy has also been hard at work on her Leanne's house quilt and it is looking so beautiful. I just love the colours. Paddy reminded me that we do have similar taste!
What lovely stitching!
Last week, Donna, Jan and I went to the pictures! I don't go often but plan to do so from now on. Hubby and I haven't the same taste in movies so we rarely go. We saw "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep and it was good fun, especially for 3 women of a certain age! We all loved the house in the movie and especially the kitchen (that she was removing in the movie!) and the vegie garden. The shop she runs is so wonderful and we wanted to head there, if it existed, for coffee and a chocolate croissant.

Quick visit to Sydney

Thought I would do a quick blog from Ma and Pa's in Sydney. It is always lovely to visit them. Had a lovely time yesterday and went to the pictures to see "Julie and Julia" with my daughter, Lyndal. It was such a lovely movie. I really enjoyed the cooking (though it isn't my favourite pastime) and loved the fact that it was about blogging. Meryl Streep was fabulous as the quirky Julia Childs and the views of Paris were lovely too. Well worth seeing.
