What a week

Well this week has been busy with lots of family matters and the shop so I'm not bored at all. It all started last weekend when Tiffany went to the new skate park in Loxton. She a great time but ended up falling off Luke's BMX bike. Luke is the new boy friend, who by the way is very nice. Mark has started to work two nights a week at the Loxton Hotel as a chief and our son John applyed for a position at Channel 10 in Adelaide and he has won him self a interview on Thursday which is great. So you see we are having lots of fun at home which I love.

Well to the shop. I have done some more work on my BOM and here atre just some of the blocks for you to see.

                                             

A cappuccino would be nice to have right now.

                           

   I'm a very aussie girl I just had to put in a pav.

                                 

I'm being very good and doing all my pattern work as I go so when I have finish the quilt the patterns will be finished as well.

Well better get back to the quilt. Have a great weekend

Happy quilting till next time

At Last

  Well this post is very different today. For over 10 months I have been working very hard to get approval for us to develop a block we own in Loxton. The council has been very hard to work with but Monday last week we Finlay made it and by Christmas we should have two very nice four room villas on our block to rent out.

On this block was a old house which we have pulled down. All that is standing is the fire place and when we brought this block there was a big tiger left in the house.

                           

My wonderful husband Mark works for the Drake boys who are very well known in Loxton and love to have fun. So on Tuesday night they went and had fun with Mr Tiger who had been placed in a chair by Mark on the block. This is know where Mr Tiger is living. The boys tried to put him on the top but Mr Tiger didn't want to stay there. I don't blame him. So this is where he is sitting at the moment.

Sean and Damian well done boys love it.

Have a beer on me boys. We live in a great country town where you can have lots of fun as you can see.

Till next time
