It's been a while

I've been quietly stitching away on my Intermediate Course assignments and volunteering occasionally at Hambledon Cottage Parramatta, Linnwood at Guildford and for the Embroiderers' Guild NSW for most of this year. Our 4 grandchildren continue to delight us as they grow up, with the 2 babies Aiden and Seth both over 6 months old now. Our last child Bron has announced her wedding date in May 2013 and I'm sure that'll come quickly enough. There has been a little improvement in my balance problem, but not enough for my liking so I think I'll start another round of doctor's visits to try to get a better result. This has meant I'm not entirely confident travelling about town on public transport unless necessary and the recent Craft and Quilt Show at Darling Harbour in Sydney really tested my stamina. My major work for the Intermediate Course is due to be finished by 7th December and I'm well into the planning and sampling part of the piece. Next post I'll put up some photo information, then I can't change my mind once it's public, can I? LOL
