When?

I'm not sure anymore how to tell the difference between nostalgia or homesickness. Can you be homesick after 23 years?

Do I miss my childhood or that distinctive smell of the West Australian bush? It's always the first thing that hits me when I go home.

Is it still ok for me to call Australia home after all these years?

One of those days I'm afraid.

Sh*t it might be one of those weeks!

Not sure where this little stitching project is going to take me, but it was inspired by this - a terrible case of the wanties when the coffers are empty.

P.S. Is autumn in the air where you are? Or are you enjoying the delights of spring?

P.P.S. I do hope all is well with you and thank you for stopping by.

February and all that SNOW!

February 2014 has been quite a snowy month so far.

It snowed three times last week, not piddly snow, but big bucket fulls of snow. Come to think of it, I think it snowed the week before! I've lost track....

Anyway, the kids love it, Pigpen loves it and I've been mesmerized by it. Watching those tiny flakes fall from the sky and covering up the grey of winter.

I love this snow, but this week, for some unknown reason, I've been missing home.

Perhaps it's because whilst I've been freezing, my lovely family has been baking in the hot Australian sun.

Somedays, like these snowy February days I miss that warm sun and the smell of eucalyptus.

So whilst the snow fell and my thoughts turned to home, I sewed.

A little patchwork quilt, not quite finished, but looking lovely in the snow.

I hope the weather is making you happy and for my poor friends and family across the pond in the U.K., I do hope it starts to dry up a little over there.

P.S. After finishing this post, I looked out the window to see it is snowing, again!
