It's been a busy week, and I would like to thank all who left comments on my last post. I've been trying to make time to answer but this week just flew by.
Thursday was my first day at Vision here in Ballarat and all went well and I've been asked to actually volunteer on Wednesdays in future so will see what tomorrow brings. I came home with fabric for two aprons to be made for clients in the pottery room who are a little messier than onthers. Not yet made, but will try and get them done during this next week. Went to pick up the caravan from a friend's place on Saturday, so that was another day gone as we didn't get home till well after 9pm. I'm just wondering where the other days went, although I know that I've tided away the last bits and pieces and rearranged a few things too.
Cut the backing and batting for the baby quilt, which are now pinned to the rollers and will hopefully make a start on that on Thursday. Also finished a small gift and picked fabrics for a new project. Both of these things are the "secrets". I think the rest of the time must have gone on the usual mundane housework.
We've just had a brief shower of rain, after another 30deg day and about 100 cockies are milling about and doing and awful lot of screeching. They seem to come and fly around early morning and sunset each day, as we have the reserve over the road with a lot of native trees. I'll try and get a photo one night.
Rang my friend Sue today to let her know we are settling in and she said she has her 45th wedding anniversary coming up next week. Wow! We've known each other since we were 5 1/2.
Below are some photos of what I've mentioned above.

Does anybody else out there sew whilst having DVD's playing away in the background. I do and when they finish I wonder if I actually watched any of it, but that's just me. Below are some of what I may have on.
Below is the pattern I'll be quilting on baby quilt.

| This is a pattern by Patricia Ritter called Gummy Bears and I'm hoping it will show really well on back of quilt. |
Well, that is my quick update for the week and hopefully, I'll get time over the next day or two for another one and also some sewing and maybe even gardening and baking.
Take care all.
Susan.
