Marion clowing around


Hi everyone,

I won't let my friend Marion live it down.....and just had to post a pic on my blog for prosperity....so you too can share in the fun too!

If you look at the above picture, nothing untoward is evident is it?????? or is it? Look what happens when you crop the photo and bring her face up closer!


Ok, now the story behind all of this, is that Marion is a shift worker, and usually when she comes out to our place for sewing on Tuesdays, she has just come off an overnight shift....and normally she has a "nanny nap" or three! Well this day was nothing different, except for the fact that when she went to sleep, she kind of went into a nanny coma and after testing to make sure she really was asleep, I drew her red nose with lipstick! I was egged on by Sue and Raelene, so don't just think I'm the evil one...they're evil too! lol She didn't actually wake up for a few minutes after, and that was only because I'd got the camera and pretended to take a picture of a mobile hanger with lots of dangles hanging from it, that was above her head. When she roused up and had a stretch she asked if I wanted to take a pic of her.....now how could I not take her up on the offer, seens as though that was the only reason I was taking a pic of anything in the first place!

She didn't end up being alerted to the fact that she had a red nose for at least 30 mins after she woke up....even though there were several comments that should've alerted her being made to her by us all.

Love ya Marion...you are such fun and make us smile.

In and around at the retreat!

The following pics are of Cabins 3 & 4 at Mt Alford Lodge where we spent 2 & 1/2 days chatting, eating, sleeping and even found time to get some crafting done! I helped a few of the girls with crochet and Khristina and I made some hexagon coasters.....of which I forgot to take pics of as I was in too much of a rush to give them to Khris's mum to thank her for letting me stay at her house....thanks Claire. There's even some pics that show the dust storm that was bestowed upon us! Check out the photo I got directly of the sun......not something you could normally capture unless it was shrouded in 50 million particles of dust! lol

Belated post - Flowers from my online family

As you would have read in the previous post, my darling Mum died one month ago today. A few days after she went, my friend Khristina bought me over a card and some flowers from my online family from her C-R-A-F-T group. I have several pics of them, but these are one of the inside of the card, showing the greeting, and the other is of the flowers, card and the black and white photo is of my mum and dad. (Don't ya just love my grubby and trashed coffee table? lol)
















Aren't I lucky to have not only Khristina as a friend (No Khris, I'm not sucking up, I'm doing my best attempt at being sincere!) but to have such a warm and loving online family.

Hugs
Naomi
