Sorry, haven't blogged for a while

Sorry, Girls I Haven't blogged for a couple of weeks. Since the Boy's have gone back to school I have been soooo busy, Training at Gosford, Training in Sydney, Jake's Birthday(10) School commitments. I took the boys with me to sydney and Paul and I took them to Toronga Zoo while we were there. I really can't wait for the next school holidays, things seem quite while they are off. We haven't been to the zoo for ages, we were trying to work it out how long it had been since we were there last and it has been 10 years. I was pregnant with Jake.This is the view for the animals, isn't is lovely.It was better than I expected. The animals were so awake and alert. We had a great day. The weather was perfect.
Anyway, back to business, software Computer classes started back this week. Learning more
5D software and Embroidery. Towels this month.(thank god for mum and Gail) they have been looking after the shop for me.

For those of you who remember the one done in back and white ,I also have one in Linen , and I have made one for my good friend Ally. (picture to come)
