The weather is definitely getting cooler...nice to sit in a sunny spot & stitch. My cross stitch is progressing nicely...just the borders to finish off...it has been lovely & I do enjoy working with the overdyed threads.
What else has been happening? DS has succumbed to ? glandular fever, ?strep throat whilst away at uni. DH did a mercy dash yesterday to check on him...he seems to be improving...do we ever stop worrying about them? Mum is coming up for the weekend as it is Mothers Day here in Australia. It will be nice to see her.
Work continues to grow & place pressures on for me to take on another day...I need to assess the different workplaces & develop a plan so that they all function & compliment each other.
BUT, on to the fun stuff...
a little bit of shopping at the Quilt Show & in Newcastle...some gorgeous American Jane to make a funky winter skirt...red piping...I am thinking black boots & it will give winter a bit of ZING!
DD has been keen for this cushion for some time...I think it will be nice in the Amy Butler!
A cookbook for DD...some yummy treats...mmmm!
My tree is only standing in her underwear...a good breeze & winter will be here!

The answer to your question Alison is no.As mothers our worries are endless. I love the colorful fabric and pattern you purchased. They look like great projects.
Oh NO!!! That stays with you for years. Hope he gets better soon.

Nope, we never do stop worrying! I have to say, I am glad that winter is now gone here! Yahoo!
