<br />
<br />
Well, here we are, 3 years later and I am finally back. <br />
<br />
It has been such a long and hard time for us, with losing dear Tommy and health problems along the way, the time has simply flown away and so finally I have taken stock and decided it is time to get back into the real world and make contact again!<br />
<b> </b><br />
So many things have happened, too many to tell, suffice it to say that I am back quilting and crocheting and looking for things to work on. Lots of ideas running around in the head, which i will discuss with you all as we proceed.<br />
<br />
So I must tell you, we have rescued a new boy poodle. He is not Tommy, nor will he ever be, but he is a great buddy for Priscilla who was being weighed down by the job of looking after the two of us and has taken him to her heart and appreciates his assistance! (or so we like to think)...<br />
<br />

His name is Kosta, and he is a 12 year old boy who was a breeder. When we got him, he did not know how to be a pet, but after 14 months he is learning very fast!</div>

Both he and Priscilla will be 13 years old , Kosta in December this year and Priscilla in February 2020. My how the years fly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see, they are both wearing their jackets today as it is only 20 degrees Celcius here and is overcast and miserable. They do both love to be warm and cosy...</div>

I have just dropped by to let you all know that our darling Tommy passed away on 6 August. He had been very ill with cancerous tumours in his lungs, and we spent all our time with him.<br />
<br />
I have decided to take the rest of this year off and come back next year when I am over this awful event.<br />
<br />
I know that you all will be shocked, but keep a lookout for me, because I promise I will be back.<br />

Just dropping by to let you know that we shall now have until next Sunday, and then we will be back to normal and the word photo will be "black".<br />
Of course I will post another "black" also!<br />
<br />
Last night it was around 6 degrees Celsius here - the coldest temperaw ture for June since I don't know when. Tonight is shaping up to be just as cold, so we have the aircon on to try and keep us warm. I hear that it has been below freezing elsewhere, so wer are pretty lucky I guess!<br />
<br />
I have been very busy, knitting and crocheting my little heart away, still teaching myself to use the knitting machine, I really think that I need lessons!<br />
<br />
I've started knitting some scarves - here's one that is finished:-<br />

and here it is done up! Can't wait to wear it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I am also working on a crochet blanket for the single bed in our spare room - almost finished but I took time out to make scarves!!<br />
<br />
I'll show you more later this week, I've been too cold to get it all together for pictures! So I'm afraid you will have to wait for me to thaw out a l;ittle bit1!<br />

As I typr this tonight, the rain is simply pelting down - this is the best lot of rain tht we have had this year! It is wonderful to hear it on the rooftop, and see the water tanks full and overflowing! Our back garden is now underwater, hope there will not be too much flooding overnight, they are saying on the news that it is still coming over Brisbane and the south east, so there may be even more before this finishes.<br />
<br />
We are safe and dry<br />
<br />
So "black" was the word for today, and I'll guarantee that you can't guess what my picture is of!<br />

<br />
Here is a not so good picture of our mini poodle, Tommy. He is not so very well at the moment, though I suppose we should expect that, after all, he is 12 1/2 years old almost. He has been in and out of our vets over the past week, and we are just hoping that his xrays next week are better than the last.<br />
<br />
Send him your best wishes, won't you - it looked like a tumour in his lung last week, possibly. Like I said, we will know more next week after more xrays.<br />
<br />
Join in with your black photo, and we can all visit you!!<br />
<br />
Take Care<br />

So we are back this week to show pictures of our word , which is "universal" for this week.<br />
<br />
Now first I must explain that I am not showing a picture for this week, as I forgot to take it and now it's too dark! So I am a very bad host, I know, but I also didn,t want to enter into my own prize give away. So that makes it a bit better. Maybe...,<br />
<br />
So I now have to wait to see your "universal" and judge the most original one for the secret prize!<br />
<br />
Sign in on the Linky below and be in the running!<br />

<br />

I'm baaaack! Sorry for being so long missing, but it was Mothers Day and everything, so this is the second long week in the challenge - I'll try not to do anymore!<br />
<br />
So the weeks (fortnights) word is CREATIVE, and have I got a photo for you!!<br />
<br />
My friend offered me this a while ago, and finally I am able to stretch my CREATIVE mind and learn how to use it!<br />
<br />
"What is it?" I hear you ask.<br />
<br />
"It is this" I reply:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wvbzSayMaQU/VzgkgLIXJbI/AAAAAAAArTw/kkLp12XOCPYRpRHOKsJNpK16Q_YYSUnHACLcB/s1600/DPP_0767.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wvbzSayMaQU/VzgkgLIXJbI/AAAAAAAArTw/kkLp12XOCPYRpRHOKsJNpK16Q_YYSUnHACLcB/s640/DPP_0767.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I hear you ask again "What is it?", to which I reply "It is an Empisal KH91 knitting machine".<br />
<br />
I'm sure you can understand how this machine is streatching my creative brain to its absolute limits! I can knit by hand, but I have never ever used a knitting machine, let alone one this old and beautiful!<br />
<br />
But , believe me, I am learning fast - I can now cast on and knit plain rows, so I'm going well.<br />
<br />
Now I just need to learn about this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X4Px9vF0Y4w/VzgkgaD12DI/AAAAAAAArT0/PloHRJuLwqUeAJzv3jUlRnYRl71-vEeZgCLcB/s1600/DPP_0768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X4Px9vF0Y4w/VzgkgaD12DI/AAAAAAAArT0/PloHRJuLwqUeAJzv3jUlRnYRl71-vEeZgCLcB/s640/DPP_0768.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm sorry you cannot see this well, but this is the Empisal KH90 ribber, it attaches (!) to the flat bed machine, and i will be able to make all sorts of exciting things with these!<br />
<br />
In the plastic bucket on the bottom is a load of lovely soft fabric for the backs of quiltm, and in the top box there are all the original manuals for these machines, plus lots of yarn!<br />
<br />
Aren't I a lucky girl??!<br />
<br />
I am really so happy with this, I am looking forward to letting my creativity take over once I learn all the basics.<br />
<br />
So join in below and show us your "creative" and I will be back Tuesday with next weeks word.<br />
<br />
Take Care<br />

Welcome to you all, I'm glad to see you back with me!<br />
<br />
I do hope that all my fellow Australians had a great Anzac Day long weekend, and another great time this weekend for May Day!!<br />
<br />
So, we have not had any rain for so very long - until last night, when it rained lightly all night, and didn't stop until late this morning!<br />
<br />
So my "Green" is no more than a photograph of my beautiful, happy, satiated back garden!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ELD4QRFEybY/VyWtAZ19UkI/AAAAAAAArTE/holNj7YvmkwlZYMuuf3Yt-UJzEn1JvktACLcB/s1600/DPP_0765.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ELD4QRFEybY/VyWtAZ19UkI/AAAAAAAArTE/holNj7YvmkwlZYMuuf3Yt-UJzEn1JvktACLcB/s640/DPP_0765.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we have gone from dry grass that crackled when you walked on it, to green overnight! You can still see the browner patches amongst the green - I think we need another downpour tonight yet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e6zi9O724Zk/VyWtBRhb2tI/AAAAAAAArTI/OHfJrtK8ECgxJEedKaeKozD4cIkjA88lACLcB/s1600/DPP_0766.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e6zi9O724Zk/VyWtBRhb2tI/AAAAAAAArTI/OHfJrtK8ECgxJEedKaeKozD4cIkjA88lACLcB/s640/DPP_0766.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can still see the grass is not as green around the edges in this phto - but all the plants are standing up and look very thankful!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I must say that I was disappointed when noene had a go for the "clean" prize, though I do understand that sometimes it is very difficult to get around to everything, and there is always the next time. So I'm not worried at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So sign up below with Mr Linky and let us all see your "green".</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will be back soon with this week's word.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hi everyone, glad you dropped by to take a look!<br />
<br />
Well, this weeks' word was "black" and do you think I could come up with anything original?? Of course not, so I had to fall back on my favourite pet !<br />
<br />
So here is my Black dog!:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iJKDNCbNLVc/VwoR7bKM8fI/AAAAAAAArQo/HFiCXhN9EPsg102deeM4GZfUYcWXfehAQ/s1600/DPP_0763.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iJKDNCbNLVc/VwoR7bKM8fI/AAAAAAAArQo/HFiCXhN9EPsg102deeM4GZfUYcWXfehAQ/s640/DPP_0763.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, dear old Tommy, my black dog, or to put it more precisely, my old black poodle, will be 11 years old next month - 25th of May to be precise. He looks so distinguished in his bow tie, doesn't he?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He wore it last night, when we had the grand daughters over here for dinner - he wanted to impress them I think! They didn't even notice, I don't think. He was crushed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Believe me or not, I still have not finished the work in the office area here, it will be May 25th before I get around to it!! But I will remember to show you the "after" pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next wee4k, for our word, there will be a prize for the funniest photo. So don't forget to enter!! I'll be back tomorrow with the word - this should be good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So , enter your photo for "black" below and we can all see:</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Welcome back everybody! Good to see you all again!<br />
<br />
So, we have all had 2 weeeks to find our "unclutter" photo, how did you all go?<br />
<br />
I had a bad fortnight, what with all the coming and going, and the rant! By the way, thank you for all your comments, I really appreciated everyone taking the time to talk me through that. I have emailed everyone that I could email, and I have taken on board some wisdom. Thank you.<br />
<br />
So anyhows, as I was saying, I have such clutter around me most of the time, I couldn't decide where to start! So i started with our home "office " area. We have had to rearrange some furniture, so a lot of "stuff" got thrown into the "office" and left. So I have taken these pictures:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just imagine how this room would look, if I actually got in there and UNCLUTTERED it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GFR7ZDyt-wI/VwDPmUn22NI/AAAAAAAArQA/92yUj3VLCAYqAYe54ErrfBDR5Nt5o77Dg/s1600/2016_04_02_3553.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GFR7ZDyt-wI/VwDPmUn22NI/AAAAAAAArQA/92yUj3VLCAYqAYe54ErrfBDR5Nt5o77Dg/s640/2016_04_02_3553.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is through the doorway - it is only a small room and we keep a bed in here in case we need it - well, it used to be a futon, but that's out and those big long boxes contain a sindle metal bed frame, that will go along under the window.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Hi everyone, glad to see you!<br />
<br />
I'm really sorry, but I need to have a bit of a rant here.<br />
<br />
WARNING Parts of this rant may offend some people, so please do not take anything personally.<br />
<br />
I jsut need to get something off my chest!<br />
<br />
I have spent years making and gifting many items - be they quilts, knitted baby wear, crocheted or knitted blankets, shawls - the list could go on. I spend a lot of time, money, energy making these items, because I love to make things. I don't want kudos, I just want to make something for someone, it gives me great pleasure and I pour a lot of love into everything I make.I often don't mention things on this blog because they are personal and I don't want to mention them!!<br />
<br />
Over the past two years, probably, I have noticed that often, when I gift an item, I don't even know if the person has received it, yet alone anything else.<br />
<br />
People appear to believe that the item I have made is worth no more than the same item from a department store that they can buy for $5. That item will fall apart before 12 months passes, but they can easily go and buy another!<br />
<br />
They appear to place no value on the work and love that has gone into what I have gifted.<br />
<br />
They don't appreciate it.<br />
<br />
I have, at times, sent items interstate and never been told that they have arrived, let alone received a "thank you".<br />
<br />
Am I being rude here? Can anyone relate to what I am saying? Am I stupid to expect that my gift would be appreciated? or am I being silly?<br />
<br />
Please, can someone tell me how to get over this unappreciated feeling? Am I placing too much onto people, to expect a small response, or am I just plain old stupid.<br />
<br />
Even though I am upset about this, I know I will continue to make things for others and continue to be upset by their lack of understanding, but can anyone give me some idea of how to live with this? Please let me know your ideas, I really do need some other viewpoints here. Thanks<br />
<br />
Take care<br />
<br />
