I have finally got around to doing the post I was going to do all day yesterday. I have cut out some Dollies for Swan Lake and will start to applique them this week. I still need to cut out and attach the arms and lots of other little pieces to fill it in. A huge task ahead of me but one that I am looking forward to.
I have made 5 Klosjes this week, bringing my total to 61.
I received this huge parcel in the mail on Friday from Elizabeth. I was very lucky and won a giveaway on her blog.

This is what was inside the wrapping. Lots of wonderful threads in all different colours, lots of patterns and lots of pink and blue fabric that was especially chosen for my hexagons. I feel so overwhelmed by your generousity Liz. Thank you so much. I have already used a couple in my Klosjes and have cut out several to cover hexagons. Liz's blog is wonderful and please go and say hello. She does the most amazing needlework and has some yummy recipes on there as well.

This is a photo of my Mum and Dad. We celebrated Mum's 80th Birthday on Saturday night in Benalla. We had a wonderful time out to dinner with all the family, and it was so nice to have a meal with our 3 children, they are so busy living their own lives that it is hard to get them all together at once. Of course we ate far too much, and the Mississippi Mud cake was divine.
Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Your Mum and Dad are so cute! What a great win on the giveaway. I took a peek at Liz's blog and will have to go back for a closer look. I like what I see. Sweet klosjes and the dollies are looking good!
I came here by accident, but I like it here very much. So I joined as a follower.
And it's still strange to see people so far from the Netherlands use the Dutch word 'klosje'.
Happy birthday to your mother! I'm glad she enjoyed her day. :) Fantastic win--lucky you! I love your klosjes. I am so far resisting the urge to do them, but it's hard! ;)
Looks like you have been busy...love that little quilt......and what a fun prize you won!!!!!! your mum and dad look adorable!!!!
Sue-Anne! You Mum and Dad look are so delightful. Now I know where you get this wonderful YOU personality. Happy and smiley and all that good stuff. I'm so in love with Swan Lake, every thing you do with it brings me joy, joy, joy!!! I really enjoy the updates! Congrats and the goodies. Those threads are yummy.
