Twenty-five bow-tie blocks made by Creative Quilters - will make a fun quilt - congratulations to Marianne who got to take them all home. This was a successful exercise in colour value.
Views from the top floor of our local shopping centre (Cavendish Square) on Christmas Eve (not last-minute shopping - the only shopping!). The first one facing south, and wondering what they are going to build in the excavated plot - there was a low-rise building there a month ago. The second is a north-facing view of the back of Table Mountain - one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World - I can never get enough of looking at it!
My plan for 2015 are to sew more and blog more. My Mum is improving, and physiotherapist thinks she may even be successful in getting her to walk a few steps with a walker - I do hope so! Saw all the therapists today and all three were pleased with her progress - just got to get the staff at the Care Facility to understand that she needs to sometimes be in her room to practice her homework and not to just sit in their communal lounge mindlessly watching sport on TV (yes, that's what it seems they think the residents want to do and watch). My sisters and I face selling her house, and either selling or storing her furniture - more than 40 years of love in the house my parents built - a difficult thing to do.
