Allsorts!

hi there!

this has been a day of all kinds of pleasures and surprises.

first of all i just want to show you

a couple of rare photos that popped into our email today.

they were begging to be shared...

don't you love this one...
it's always good to see the guys do the dishes,
but wow...michael jackson and paul mccartney?

i've never seen either of them look so relaxed either,
now that's a good reason to do some housework.
i wonder if it'll work with our men?

i can imagine it..
darling how about doing the dishes?
it's so darn relaxing!

now for this one...

i love this for it's style.
two of the most elegant and beautiful stars of the fifties,
dressed up to the hilt
and it's just so romantic!

look at audrey hepburn...the neck of a swan,
and grace kelly...perfection.

well, apart from that

i've sent off one of my 'pay it forward' gifts...

to tasmania.

in fact i had two parcels to tassie in the post today

as i sold a cushion cover to be sent there as well.

i think i love packing them up and sending them out

just as much as making them.

'retromummy' corrie is sending up some quilts to be distributed,

which should be loads of fun

to hand out to people who were affected by this year's floods in january.

most of this area was affected

and further north

so i am sure they'll all find worthy homes.

a big thank you to all who've contributed,

i'll keep you posted.

&

i won a bag of various balls of wool

from christy...from 'a christy production'

thank you christy!

i don't know what will be made of them

but i'm sure in time

all of them will be useful.

i also found the most darling wall art

at 'poss and wom' on madeit

for the most darling little girl

who's just turned one...

her name is pearl possum..for real!

she has a few difficulties to contend with

in her young life

but is now rolling over

which her mum says is great progress

as doctors didn't think she'd ever be able to...

now they think she'll achieve

but just a little bit slower than others.

i think she's a winner!

i hope you've had an interesting day too!
