Yesterday I was given ANOTHER AWARD!  I think it's cos I make SASSY smile!  She likes me.  Awwwwwww.  I am supposed to share some ACHIEVEMENTS on my blog!  Well...... achievements eh?  How about I have achieved much..... and will achieve even more?  Will that do?  I reckon. 

- Terri... for being an amazing Mum to Matthew and building an equally amazing LOG CABIN! 

Right!  That's IT.  I think I should stop there. 

I am going to patchwork class today.... to hopefully finish my 'Book of Stitches' with the LOANER machine.  God help that shop if this one dies on me!!! 

I will fill you in on that later....

WOOO HOOOO... My new Header is a work in progress... just have to work out how to get it to fit right across the top ( if anyone knows how I can do this with a 'normal' photo do tell ).... but for now.. It's patchwork class! 

LATER....

Patchwork class was fun today... lots of yakking, laughing and just chilling out.  I stayed till lunchtime then came home a made some lunch.. and that's it for now! 

Taking the kids to swimming lessons after school...

The new 'Header' is just a photo I took .... I composed the bottles etc on my lovely piece of Aussy Batik fabric... then just added the words with the computer.  Just wish I knew how to make it extend right across the top! 

YES!  I got the header sorted to my liking.. just took a LOT of pissing around with the photo in editing ....

I have wasted a shit load of time on that today!  Hopefully I won't feel the need to change it again for a while.  Must get on with feeding the kids now.... been to swimming and Griffin is STARVING....

End of Day: me computer spat the dummy tonight, so I havn't been able to read/comment on blogs for the last couple of hours..Pfffft.  Will catch up tomorrow..off to bed now... got a hot sexy man awaiting.... *snigger*.... nite nite. 

Oh, how sweet, thank you so much.  How did you make that header?  It's gorgeous.  I've been wanting to make something like that, but am not at all creative enough to pull it off...Love ya tons...have fun in class. 

I got mine to work by resizing the pic in an image editor (photoshop or similar) to close to the size I wanted.  Then I clicked the Edit HTML tab and browsed through there till I found the piece of code I was looking for and resizing it to fit there. 

But I'm a bit of a geek.... =)

ME AND STEW

Both struggling to lose weight and be healthier.  Parents of 6 adult 'kids' and 13 Grandkids.  We have raised two of those grandkids since their births and they are now 16 and 17.  December 2017: We have been caring for their 5 year old sister for over a year as well, but at the end of 2017 she will be moving to her new permanent home with our son Steve, and his wife Bex. 

WHERE I LIVE:

New Zealand, it's in the South Pacific... and it's NOT a part of Australia!  We are home of the All Blacks rugby team, the Kiwi (bird, but can't fly) and lots of bloody neat people!
