Just quickly...

...this week has whizzed past with work and lots of miles on the highway and still more to do!
After returning from the quilt show in Sydney, I had plans for some quiet catch up & a bit of play with these delicious purchases...then I remembered that the next little quilt with Le Petite was due...eeek...grab fabrics...cut...sew...tada!
Then my Semester 2 subject started...download the notes...lots of berating of self for taking it on...
but best of all my sweet daughter graduated from her Honours year...a special day!
It was great to have Mum with us to share the excitement.
What on earth would girls who wear shoes like this work as????

    Le Petite is Le Cute as always. Congratulations to you & your daughter (& mum?. Both style of shoes are gorgeous & spunky. Does that mean you & your daughter work in the same industry??? Can't wait to hear the answer to that riddle? Tracee xx

    The shoes could be a banker or any of the business courses and then we will throw in the humanities and science courses to even things up. Anyway congratulations and the beaming mum and grand mum look good too.
