Vic Bushfires

My heart goes out to all the people and family's that have lost every-think and to those that have lost family and friends, I could not in any way know  just how awfull that would be. This is the most devastating thing that Australia has gone through that I can remember in my life so far. 

To all the wonderful people that are there helping these people  and there family's through this ordeal I say thank-you.

My bother in-law  David along with other personal from South Australia left for Victoria late on Saturday to help out with trying to get these fire's under control. He is still there and my sister dosn't know when he will be back.

 Here in South AuAustralia on Saturday with  the temperature up around 45C  we where just so lucky it did'nt happen here as well.

Well all I can say is I'm thinging of all the Victorian people involved and that you are in our prayers. 

Love

Lots of classes

Well know the kids and teens are back at school it is time to do something for our self's. I have Helen Stubbings coming to the shop to do a weekend workshop on the 21st & 22nd March. This will be a great weekend. I still have places is there is any one that would like to come. Just ring the shop and I will give you all the details.

I know have Helen's new book in stock as well.

 

The cost of the book is $29.95. It is a beautiful book just to look through.

All good news on the home front. DH loves his new job and yes our beautiful daughter did get her School base apprenticeship in hairdressing.

When we went to sign Tiff's paper work for her apprenticeship they told us that about 10 girls had applied so we are very proud of her.

Also to keep in mind is that Libby Richardson from Art smart craft cottage is also coming to do a work shop in October. I will have more information soon for you.

Well till next time

On the 11th & 12th of July I have Annie Downs and Natalie Bird. This weekend is filling fast as well. 

If you would like to be part of these workshops please contact the shop.

 

This is another of the blocks out of the BOM that I'm working on.

 

There are lots going on in our world at the moment. My DH starts a new job in two weeks and Tiffany off to a school base apprenticeship interview on Monday.    

As always it is flat out in our house hold. My big man my 19 year old son has lost 54kg which is just unreal.
