Three Boxes...

of quilts!

hi,

i've had a bloggy break forced upon me in the last week and a bit

by my computer.

it decided to go slow..

then slower

until on tuesday morning,

just when three big boxes arrived

that i desperately wanted to tell you about;

it wouldn't even switch on.

nothing

nought

zero

no fan

just the sound of silence!

then last night

it switched on

but the internet kept returning to the home page!

this morning

mr t did his thing

and got it working for me again...

{he said one of the reasons for a 'go slow'

was that mr m had recorded a whole nights worth of moto gp..motorbike racing

at philip island!...40 gb worth!}

here are the boxes that arrived last tuesday...

i stacked them up in the front room to photograph

&

poor kara freaked out...

at first she wouldn't go past them

then with some encouragement

she raced past them and leapt on my lap...eeek!

she's not a small dog!

after the photoshoot

i took one box off and she was fine..haha

what was in the boxes?

quilts for queensland

from the delightful corrie...'retromummy'

from sydney

who has been working all year

...since the january floods...

to coordinate a quilt drive

for the flood affected people of queensland.

these quilts

will actually travel back down to brisbane

in a week and a half

to be taken further to ipswich,

where there are 1700 people

still living in conditions which were flood affected!

the organisation 'habitat for humanity'

will distribute these quilts to people who

could do with cheering up

and who need them...

there are all kinds..

for babies,

boys and  girls,

teenagers

and

adults.

a big thank you

on behalf of queenslanders

for all the creative effort

that has gone into making these special quilts

by people all around australia!

i know they will be admired and treasured...

and used.

all being well

with the computer,

see ya later...

ps...sorry to read that elodie is sick, corrie..i hope she is recovering fast. it is so worrying when babies are ill, especially for their parents.
