Humpty Dumpty sat .....

Here i was on Sunday afternoon enjoying a lovely cup of coffee out by the pool when all of a sudden there was a big gust of wind followed by a huge roar and then this happened
Yep half of our back fence fell down and we can see right into the neighbours backyard. Now as we have a pool this must be fixed ASAP and as luck would have it because of the floods and cyclones in QLD there is no Super 66 (fencing material) anywhere in WA so now we have to wait for another type of fencing. I tell ya i have never seen Andrew so stressed. To me its just a fence and yes it will get fixed.

so on to more cheery things
Here is the latest project that "the three of us" have been working on

some beautiful mug mats. The pattern and labels for these came from our Label Club that we are getting every month. You really should go and take a look next months project it is way to cute and Tracey is having kittens over the Easter project.
here's a close up for you

just had to show you my Starbucks mug, i bought it in Penang and just love it and next to it is a little antique plate (not vintage real antique) that my MIL gave me. I think i remember saying that one day i would show you all of the antiques -china and furnishing's that we have been very lucky to get passed down. OK maybe another day.

and here is another project that i have been working on, made with Susan's scraps from her beautiful table runner. This is the completed top, it needs to be sandwiched now and quilted and binded.

It is so hot here today and i sure don't feel like cooking maybe we will have take away tonight, although we did have it last night as well. shh don't tell anyone.
feel like card making tonight
see ya

I see your sewing machine has been happily humming along lately. Great projects! Seems I have been seeing a lot of mug mats in blogland lately. Really makes me want to make up some for myself!

Sorry about your fence. Mother Nature can be a pain at times.

Linda, sounds like you don't stop :)
I wouldn't worry about having takeaway again - leaves more time for crafting!
