Happy New Year

from me to you all

here I am with the Sydney Opera House (it its there somewhere) in the background
what a fabulous time we had

Lulu Stevie Scarlett and Rachel
in the background is the sunshine coast

Hello my lovlies ~ thankyou to all who've enquired after me. I needed a break from blogging which went on longer than I thought it would and then there was college and family things and then my trip to Oz to see Stevie and Scarlett. And so now my life is very very different ~ all my children have left home!!!! ~ yes Rach and Lu have stayed in Australia until August when they'll return home for university. We all had a wonderful time together and enjoyed the lovely weather very hot and at times very stormy and we saw some amazing sights in Queensland and New South Wales. I also managed to visit Laura and Linda at Lilly Cottage and Rach and Lulu just loved it there too as much as me, of course I had to purchase one or two goodies!! Also just across the road from Lilly Cottage is Trishalan and I was fortunate to meet Trish there and of course I had to buy some of her gorgeous threads and fabrics.

me and my family


me and my lovely man
he looks quite the thing dont you think!

So back to now I have some things planned for Jim and I to do together and of course I have my college courses to finish ~ one finishes in February and one in May/June ~ inbetween I have some art workshops to attend which will be awesome. I promise to try and blog more and post more photos of my artwork too. Well Ill try ~ lots of love to you all Judy xx

Hello gorgeous Judy, your photos are just fabulous, you look like you had such a fun time. I so loved seeing you all at Lilly Cottage, I just wish I had more time to spend with you and that the weather wasn't as stinking hot as it was!! How time flies when you are having fun. Still am looking forward to seeing some more of your artwork soon, maybe Australia will call you back again soon!!
