Hong Kong and Thailand

Sunami Alert Tri Trang Beach

It's been a while since I blogged as we traveled to Hong Kong to see my daughter and family. We  really enjoyed our holiday, also taking a trip to Phuket Thailand. We had a great time despite a Sunami alert and experiencing the Sankran festival which celebrates the Thailand new year. This great tradition means everybody is in fear of being shot with a water gun and sometimes sprayed with talc, the wetter you are the happier you are in the coming year. We were kept cool in the heat but were very wet!!
The Sunami didn't materialize  to everyone's relief as Phuket suffered badly in 2004. This time there was a warning in place and we spent three hours on the fourth floor and the roof of the hotel.

Memories

I was searching through my linen cupboard and found the quilt I started when my two children were small. They are both adults now and have happy and successful lives. As young children they both helped piece this quilt together sewing the individual squares round the paper templates ready for me to sew together by hand. The pattern is based on a simple Amish quilt design  which I still love. I'm ashamed to say that my quilt is still unfinished, a little bit shabby and in need of a wash, and my sewing is not too neat, but I think I'll make one last effort to finish it this year. Wish me luck! 

A couple of new prints for my Etsy shop.

Afternoon tea

One of my favourate places in Melbourne is the botanical gardens, strolling by the lake or having the cream scones in the cafe. This little Turtle Dove caused great amusement enjoying the remnants of the cream. In the end his face was covered in the white stuff and he gave up probably feeling sick!

Happy Valentines Day!!

My print called Cockatoos in love, is available as an A4 print from my shop.
