Holiday count down has begun…..

Just 9 sleeps until I fly out to Hawaii…..the tickets have been collected, my suitcase is sitting empty in the corner of my bedroom, I have a list of things that I want to take, and my passport is literally burning a hole in my pocket!!

In the mean time, I have been keeping myself busy, going to a Taylor Swift concert last Tuesday at The Brisbane Entertainment Centre with my sister Wanda, niece Sharna and Leah.  It was a fabulous concert and a very late night, it took me all week to recover!

On Friday my friend Carolyn and I walked up Mount Coot-tha.  The walk took 2 1/2 hours and was both invigorating and exhausting at the same time.  Well worth the effort and a challenge we were very much up to!

The weekend was particularly busy with a Southern Cross Quilters GTG on Saturday, and a family outing on Sunday.

The finished Red and Green scrap quilt was my show and tell at the SCQ GTG. That brings the top total to 9 now.

It was a beautiful day out with our children and grandchild….. life doesn’t get much better than this!

This week I’m back working on my Carpenters Star blocks, with all the cutting done for another two blocks.  I have an idea in mind for sashings between the four blocks, let’s see how it develops shall we??

Tonight I cooked some chicken balls……500g  minced chicken meat, grated carrot, grated zucchini, shallots, sweet chilli sauce, fresh bread crumbs, seasoning and an egg.

I mixed the ingredients well and then put the balls into a mini muffin pan to cook in the oven.  They were very yummy served with roasted potatoes and peas!

Well that’s about it from me now,

Thanks for visiting…..
