This time last year = Las Vegas ...

Looking through photo's this week ...
got me thinking about this time last year ...
how time flys ...
how so much changes in one year ...
how some things stay the same.

How we looked this time last year...
what we were doing, eating, blogging about, learning, ...
how kids have grown ...
where we were ...




This time last year ...
I was in Paris Las Vegas on my first OS trip.

Where were you this time last year?

If you'd like to join in ...
do a this time last year post on your blog ...
then leave the link to your post in a comment here ...
maybe this could be the start of a weekly game / meme.

Love to hear your thoughts!

ANZAC Day ... thinking of my soldier boys ...

Dad served with Fortress Engineers ...
this taken 1942 ...

My Bro served with the Signal Corp ...
taken 1965 ...
age shall not weary them nor the years condem ...
at the going down of the sun ...
we shall remember them ...
Lest We Forget.

Block gone to NZ ... with threads ...

My block's on it's way across the ditch to NZ.

Here's hoping the ladies don't mind I've included ...
7 bobbins of metal thread ...
&
7 bobbins of the beautiful Rajmahal Art Silk thread ...
that I'd like used in the embroidery on my block.

No contrasting colours ...
only threads associated with ...
my love of ...
junk, dirt, metal, dust and rust.

Threading a needle = making a CQ comeback ...

In 2003 after graduating with a degree ...
I searched for the creative me ...
discovered Crazy Quilting ...
plus made a life long friend ...
who recently decided to run a Needlebook Round Robin ...
so for olds time sake I said count me in.

Today I hauled out my trusty Janome ...
created this 27 x 12.5 cm block.

Tomorrow my block's on it's way to NZ ...
to do the rounds ...
where five other embroiderers ...
will each embellish a section ...
hopefully with a stitching colour theme ...
of ...
junk, dirt, metal, dust & rust ...
I'll keep you posted on the progress!
