TT, Girl 11, and more

Hi everyone,

I've been a bit quiet and unwell, but am on the mend now. Starting today I get to take 6 more pills a day, bringing the total to 17 a day.  When I meet you in Melbourne, don't be alarmed if I rattle with every step HAHA.  I'm not letting this get me down either.  Starting today, I am feeling well enough to sew again, so it's all good now :)


Travelling Treasures is currently visiting Melanie  over at Pinnylea Creations.  My apologies to Mel for not helping her to promote the  giveaway.  Her giveaway ends at 9pm tonight, so if you are a resident of Australia, please pop over and answer her question for a chance to win some nice sewing goodies.


My dear Girl 11 left me last Wednesday to fly back to her home with her blind person.


She was gone all day Monday at the Vet and I felt so lost without her. She had a minor surgery on her right front foot, which is why it is shaved there.  Poor girl wasn't feeling well in any of these last few pictures I have of her.



I think this last picture is my fave one of her. There is no pain here, just a peaceful happy memory of a quiet night we spent together, me sewing and her watching me.  I hope she is pain free now and happy to be back home where she belongs :)


I recently joined the Fat Quarter Swap. This is my first month to play along and my partner Cathy
sent these FQs, DMC, and if you look closely, 3 very cute dotty butterfly buttons.  Thank you Cathy, I love what you sent.


My friend Chris in NZ was having a giveaway on her blog to guess how much weight she would lose by Christmas.  I guessed the closest amount, and yesterday I received a parcel, my first ever from NZ!  She sent these two quilted mats and 3 cards made by her.  I just love the applique, too cute and I can't help but smile when I see them.  The cards are so nice too. I write letters to my grandma in Texas, so she will be excited to get a card that came from NZ too.  Thank you, dear Chris!

I also need to post about Australia Day swap items, but that will have to wait.  xx debbie
