Do you snore?
I snore
Sometimes I snore so loudly I wake myself up
(then I have a bit of a giggle and go back to sleep)
FLM says I even puff like a whale but I doubt that… that’s just too silly for words…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enough about that… this is what we’ve been doing
FLM’s been in the garden doing things that need to be done in a garden, it’s looking pretty ~ especially the front gardens. The Seaside Daisies along the borders are my faves, although everything is growing well… must be the red soil! Great for gardens but REALLY bad for white socks and furry cat paws…
My absolute favourite of all time ~ wisteria ~ is on it’s way too. I’ll be able to see it flowering from my quilting room
It’ll be a while before it looks like the one at our old place but we’re patient (how pretty is that flower!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quilting…
I think I have to make one like this ~ or I could just keep Bron’s quilt and play dumb when she rings me
It’s made from Pom Pom de Paris by French General… ‘nuff said… Looks nice on my bed doesn’t it…? I might just close the door and pretend I know nothing of it’s whereabouts
This is the one I’m currently working on… it’s stunning! almost finished, I’ll share more photos when it’s back with Sue. It’s taken me right out of my comfort zone but I’m loving it so far. Another day or two and it will be ready
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CATS
Ninja cat, Theo, comes for a visit now and then so he can run around the back yard and hide in the plants (and eat grasshoppers and annoy the bejeezus out of Ratty)
Look at this sweet little guy, so cute, a perfect little furry angel…
Wrong!! He’s not sitting on the floor. He got bored and jumped from the floor to the top of the fridge. Then he discovered the cat cupboard. Perfect size, perfect fit, perfect viewing platform :) crazy cat…
Ratty has stolen one of Theo’s toys and for two & a half minutes each day he becomes a kitten again
Look at that sweet little face… :)
Tomorrow we head down to Brissie so that Rod Stewart can sing to us… I think I need to write that again
ROD STEWART
OMGoodness, ssshhhhhh, we’re going to the Rod Stewart concert
And then on Thursday we’ll head down to Ikea. I'm taking the Treasurer (who has a day off) and has been known to make impulsive purchases.... with only a hint of encouragement from me.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today is the 21st Feb, that means it’s only 4 more days until I share part 2 of our ‘It’s a little bit French’ fun
Snippets…
AND there will be another giveaway commencing on the same day
Seeya, I need to go eat a pancake or two… my imaginary friend has been cooking again. I think I’ll keep her…

Hi Cheryl
Just love your blog.
As far as your snoring goes and inflating like a whale maybe you should get it checked it sound like you may have sleep apnea and this could be very serious.

Wow--don't know what I liked the most.
The garden is lovely and I love Wisteria, we are wondering where to put some here as well. And the quilts are both yummy--it would be tempting to shut that door.
Or the sweet little baby faces--so innocent????
Mine are snoozing now, but that will all change soon enough.
Enjoy the concert!!!

Well nobody has had the nerve to tell me I snore, so I don't know....but every night, I have to use one of those Breathe Right strips on my nose, as it closes up when I lay down. So annoying! Your garden is looking lovely, I too love wisteria. Can't grow it in my climate though. LOVE the quilts, and of course the darling kitties...don't you love seeing a grown-up cat playing like a kitten? They look so goofy and a little bit ashamed of themselves. Can't wait to see the new design!

My hubby snorks! And sometimes I do too....I have to confess.Love Theo and Ratty, and Wisteria. I have been working on my star. Enjoy Mrs Stewarts son Rod and tell me all about it when you show off your Ikea goodies. Be safe!Have fun!

What a pretty place you've made your new home into. It helps having a DH who gardens, doesn't it? So nice that you've got a sewing room view that is so refreshing, and will be even more so when the wisteria blooms. It all looks like a bit of heaven to me, especially after the dreary weather days we're seeing here. It's gloomy and dull looking. Can't wait for spring, not only for the season change, but because of changes coming in our lives. We're moving! Our house goes up for sale next week. Scary times after 22-1/2 years in the same place. Enjoy yourself. It sure sounds like you have fun doin's.

Oh! You're like a breath of fresh air to come home to!! After a long hard sometimes tedious and frustrating day I come home and check your blog and am reminded the world is a beautiful place and it really is out there!!
Thanks for that. Think I'll squeeze in a walk before the sun goes down...

Oh I am so with you! I snore and I wake myself up, unless Hubs has shouted at me to turn over before then!!! Love the Pom Pom quilt, but then I love everything French General.

LOL you are too funny for words - I think I have developed the snoring habit too - Rod tells me I do - But he tells fibs so who knows..... Love Ratty's new lease on life. I have 2 lavende bags ready to stitch - Yummo !

apparently I snore too, but after 25 years of hearing hub snore I figure he can listen to my sonata for awhile without complaining!
Your garden looks lovely. Your felines look very sweet!
Enjoy Rod stewart..
