So, talking of Christmas, some of the Thursday crafties decided to do things in time for Christmas this year :) Armed with gallons of glue, they set to it :) The result...some lovely little bon-bons!</div>

As some of you may know, my BFF family came for a visit from Wales for a few months. We had the pleasure of entertaining them for an afternoon. This is cute Seth (the one on the left by the way!)<br />

In between the last post and this one, I went off to Melbourne for a two night stint and a YWCA Encore refresher training session. We had to spend some time in the pool, which was a little walk from our hotel. What a lovely facade the Melbourne Baths have!!! Inside it is quite newish and modern.</div>

Ruth, waiting for the tram to take us round the city of Melbourne's CBD. Was a stinking hot day and very humid - not common for this part of the world. Tram ride was great except we had to sit for 7 minutes at the stop/start part of the line to wait till the next circuit was due to go! NO Airconditioning!!!!!!! <br />

Once again Christmas rears its head....there is a lovely shop located near the hotel we stayed in (which is also just round the corner from the Queen Victoria Markets) that sells Christmas bits all year round. Of course I had to take a trip inside :) :)<br />

Mothers Day....we (YWCA Encore) attended the Mothers Day Classic Event which took place in the Adelaide park lands this year. By taking part, I mean we had a tent there! No excessive exercise for me!!! LOL Here are the team - June, Chris, Judy and myself - was a good morning! We were fortunate to be next to the fruit stand, free fresh fruit all day for all concerned :) We even got to take nearly a box of bananas home because they had so much left at the end of the event!!!! All money raised goes to breast cancer research.</div>

On a completely different note now....I finally got my new quilt rack in-situ!!! (Well, kind of!) Its in the spare room for the time being, as my male cat can get a bit nervy about new things about the house and has been known on a couple occasions to leave his mark on things :( Eventually it will come out into the bigger room :)<br />

Now then, whats been happening since the last post? Well...I can now show you what I got for Valentines ! :) A new car!!!! Woohooo - its a Hyundai Accent (and despite the colouring on this pic, taken as the sun is going down, it is white) Tis a bit smaller than my last car and will be more eco friendly with the amount of fuel used = more money to spend on fabric and quilt trips!!! Yeh!!!!!!!!</div>

And what else? Well, my dad is slowly getting better but needs to get some weight on his skeleton so have been trying to feed him up a bit. Catching up with my quilting and keeping the house tidy. You know, the usual mundane things that crop up in life that keep you from doing what you really love to do??? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had our usual get together with the quilting girls. We have morphed yet again and are now the 'Friday Fabriholics' - what do you think? Describes us all to a T I think!</div>

Lorraine went overseas at the end of last year and brought back some FABULOUS fabrics in delicious colours - and being her (middle name is Val by the way) has been very busy putting this scrummy looking disappearing nine patch together. The pic does the top no justice as the fabrics are a blend of silkies and other textures with goldie bits on them. Looks good enough to eat though.</div>

Unfortunately my camera died at this point....sobs loudly! Loz had brought her antique quilts along for show and tell - you will have to go to her web or <a href="http://quiltygal.blogspot.com.au/">Quilty Gal</a>s for a look at what happened next! <a href="http://tazziequilts.blogspot.com.au/">Tara </a>also brought some show and tell, her Mrs Billings top, she is nearly finished! woohoo for her. Apparently she started in January on 2012, so that's not bad cos she has been busy doing other things in the middle of that too. <br />
<br />
So because I don't have any more pics to share with you all, I will sign off for now!

So..anyway...since the last blog a lot and not a lot of things have happened, if that makes sense? My dad spent nearly 3 weeks in hospital and then I spent a week at his house when he came home. He is on the mend but its slow.</div>

In a couple of months there is going to be a rose released just for us "Encore" is its name and will be on sale to the public. I will keep you informed on the costing etc, cos we would love to sell loads as all the profit goes back to funding more women doing the program!</div>

At the end of January we (Snobs & Slobs) went on an outing to one of the local quilt shop openings. Of course we had to stop somewhere for a refreshing drink and feed some worms....we had a ring-in come along who happens to be rather cute so we didn't mind at all. He has good taste in fabric and might turn out to be the next quiltaholic in his family! (In case you don't know this is Claire aka <a href="http://www.quiltygal.blogspot.com.au/">Quilty Gals</a> grandson, Seth, from Wales)</div>

Yesterday the family took a trip to see the nephews new house that is being built in the country and then out for tea. For the locals, we went to the Tanunda Clubhouse...VERY nice food indeed. Good job we don't live close cos I would be like the back end of a large charter bus if I did -- would be eating there all the time if the money allowed it! On the way home, we diverted in to my young brothers place to see his latest pets...Mulcher-mulcher and Ratbag...two bearded dragons. Sooooo cute...and no...I am not allowed one!

Sorry, I digress already!! One of my aims for 2013 is to be more up to date with the blog :) Second is to spend more time on myself/family!!! <br />
Since my last post, we have had one of our 'trees' flower and fruit! This is it...anyone have a guess?? Its a banana tree and we have fruit!!!! The garden centre said it would never do that here in South Australia, but there it is...just waiting for the little fingers to ripen now.<br />

Had done a bit of sewing towards the end of November - made this Santa 'sack' for a friend interstate. Sack being the operative word, ended up being bigger than the child it was made for, certainly will last a life<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u> </u></span>time I think! </div>

Went to the opening of a new bra shop (yes you may laugh those that know me personally at this one!) Michelle is the owner and is called "The Bra Lady", 99c Prospect Rd, Prospect. So if you are in the area go and see Michelle (professional fitter of over 25 years.) There is a lovely cafe next door, so makes for a good visit in the area.</div>

...since my last post! How terrible :( Well, here I am again! Today was the beginning of the Christmas Pageants in South Australia, and for those of you that don't know, we hold the biggest one in the world! Speaking of Christmas, one of the ladies that goes to Thursday craft, entered her Christmas waistcoat into the local show and won a prize! Well done, Mary :)</div>

It has been quite a busy few months, that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!!!! <a href="http://www.ywcaencore.org.au/">YWCA Encore Adelaide</a> were successful in securing a decent grant for 2012-13, which has enabled us to be able to run several programs, so that's part of what I have been up to :) Below is two lovely ladies, Marilyn on the left is a volunteer ambassador in SA for <a href="http://www.otisfoundation.org.au/">The Otis Foundation</a> ( they provide retreats free of charge for people who have had breast cancer to go and have a holiday with family, friends or supporters) and Ruth, my colleague on the right :) We were at the St Andrews Breast Cancer Luncheon which is held every year. People (and I say people, because breast cancer is applicable to both men and women) who have had BC surgery at St Andrews get to come along for two years after their treatment and can invite a friend to come along. There are guest speakers and a lovely lunch too!<br />

Please ignore the dates on the pics - camera was not set right! So...then it was a bit of quilt therapy for me...I booked in to see <a href="https://www.rickytims.com/">Ricky Tims </a>at the <a href="http://amqfestival.blogspot.com.au/">AMQ Festival </a>:) :) What a fab day we all had (well, I think we all did!) Exhausting, lots of woo hooing and light bulbs going on during the course of the day. The venue was at the Adelaide Convention Centre and I have to say I was impressed - staff were great, food (gluten free!!!) was provided and it was EDIBLE!!!! and delicious :)<br />

More R&R, this time up to the <a href="http://www.lyndochlavenderfarm.com.au/">Lyndoch Lavender Farm</a> with SW and the Fossils for a lovely morning tea. We then headed up to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanunda,_South_Australia">Tanunda</a> for lunch (ice cream really), had a mooch around and then headed back home. Believe it or not that took the whole day up! Was my birthday so it was nice to do nothing much.<br />

There is always a fugly pic somewhere, and this is mine for this post. If anyone would like to purchase it (the light fitting that is) it is up for sale. And NO, it does not belong to me, but to one of the Snobs & Slobs, it came with the house she bought.<br />

Moving right along, we are now in November so that meant it was Father-in-law Fossils 85th Birthday, so I thought I better make him a quilt :) Very easy one to do and I love the way they all turn out differently - "Disappearing Nine Patch". He put it straight on the bed, so I guess he likes it.<br />

The quilt display was good, but this one caught our eyes (mine and Quilty Gals) cos its different. It is a Dragons back with a tattoo of a lady who has a tattoo of a dragon :) Congrats too to <a href="http://tazziequilts.blogspot.com.au/">Tara</a> and <a href="http://jacarandaquilts.blogspot.com.au/">Lizzy</a> for winning a prize with the Farmers Granddaughter quilt - just beautiful!<br />

So, since my last post - which has been some time - life has been busy. Some of you may know I work as a coordinator for a program called Encore (YWCA) - this is a free mild mobility and exercise program for women who have had breast cancer. We rely on donations and fundraising, so in July we had a wonderful day at our local Bunnings doing a BBQ. We were flat out all day and managed to make a nice amount of profit! So thanks to all who helped and certainly those that ate our food!</div>

Some of you may also know that I go to a Craft on a Thursday. One of the crafty friends made my birthday cake last year. Earlier this year she sent the pics of the cake off to the Cake magazine in the UK and she got her/mine cake published! Well done Beth....and of course I still have the decorations from on top! (Don't be surprised Claire)</div>

We have also been very busy getting our miniature festival items ready for the show - <a href="http://saminiatureenthusiasts.blogspot.com.au/">S.A.M.E.</a> One of the items SW and I put in was a copy of my Studio workshop and Garden. This is 1/12th scale and most items except for the ironing board and two swivel chairs were all made by us! It was a great project to work on and got us thinking a little outside the square of what to use to represent the real thing,<br />

Another item I displayed - St George and the Dragon - this was for the medieval section. Sadly the Dragon killed St George this time round! Once again, except for the Dragon and the bones, I made all the other parts of the scenery. The sad knight in the front was made by one of our members <a href="http://www.anyminiatureneeds.com/">Bev</a>.</div>

And our third item - not a real good pic - might have to change later! - is the Christmas Bon Bons. These are 1/48th scale and to give you an idea of size - the 'box' they fit in is a Pringles or similar size container. There is a bit of quirkiness here if you enlarge the pic and have a look closely!</div>

During July, I managed to catch the dreaded 'lurgy' that is going around :( So I confined myself to home for 12 days....very hard to do! Anyway, didn't have much energy or thinking power, so hunted through my cupboards and found some kits I had bought a while ago. What better time to get them out and do them?? The following four houses are 1/144th scale (they sit on the palm of my hand) I was very pleased with the finished items..don't know that I need to do anymore though!</div>

I was also given a couple of boxes containing items to be decorated for our <a href="http://saminiatureenthusiasts.blogspot.com.au/">Miniature Festival</a> in August. One was the first item displayed - an empty false book, it has a print of the Eiffel Tower on the outside. Was trotting along past some scrapbook items and saw the lovely little red dresses, and the light went on in the old head! So we now have a little Moulin Rouge display that will be raffled off at the Festival. <br />

So now the pics bring us to the past weekend....SW and I were lucky enough to be able to enjoy a visit to Ambleside - a lovely holiday home in Moonta Bay courtesy of the <a href="http://www.otisfoundation.org.au/">Otis Foundation</a> and some lovely people who donate their house to the cause for periods of time.</div>

Unfortunately most of the time we were there, the rain was heavy and the wind was blowy and cold so we only ventured outdoors a couple of times. However, the kitchen wall said it all and thats what we did.... </div>

Whilst in Moonta town center, we spotted this quaint little house in between two rather large shops</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
sadly I don't believe anyone lives there anymore but must of been quite a nice little place to live once.</div>

Just noticed the time stamp on the photos and they are wrong :( Will have to check camera out)<br />
Anyhow, Sunday evening was quite a calm evening and the sea looked half reasonable - wasnt thinking of going for a dip though - so this was the right hand view from our holiday home.<br />

...and we did all of that this weekend!! Yes, it was the bi-annual trip to Carrickalinga for us Snobs & Slobs once again. Unfortunately, not all attended this weekend due to various circumstances...and all weekend we kept waiting for the others to come upstairs from the toilet! LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Never the less....we managed to open our purses in a couple of the fabric/quilt shops on the way (and even on the way back too!) (Haven't got a pic of all our purchases - which is probably a good thing really!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stopped at a wonderful shop in Unley for morning tea/lunch (Lorraine's worms were playing up again) that only sells <a href="http://www.freestores.com.au/">Gluten Free food</a>!!! Seventh heaven for myself and Claire. Here they are waiting to be fed :)</div>

Then it was off and going to the destination of our home away from home for 3 nights and days. We were rather quick to get the PJ's on.</div>

Anyway...SW and I had tea and then I sat down to work on a couple of the little kits I had bought at the fair last weekend. The first was a little old fashioned pram. If you take note there is a 'bobbin' looking item at the bottom right of the picture - this was the 'baby' before it got dressed up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And this was the little one finished before being put in the pram. (The ruler is in centimetres by the way!)</div>

Of course every home needs furnishing...so I had bought the kits of furniture to make up too for the inside! (Made a blunder and put the chimney side of the house on the wrong side tho! :((( ) Hate making mistakes like that - another 'Amish' move for me ----- and for those that don't know about the Amish, they make beautiful quilts - all have a deliberate error - also their dolls have no faces - as they believe that only God can make the perfect image.</div>

Then I moved on to a dining table and chair set - this is the next size up from the house and pram. I was rather pleased with these - even though they look a tad wonky on here - but they do sit flat and are level!!!</div>

Well...what a weekend! Started at <u>3.30 AM</u> Saturday morning when I awoke to get ready to catch the Red Eye to Sydney. The offset to this ridiculous time was that my friend Vikki had invited me to go with her - in Business Class and Qantas Club!!!! Wooohooo!!! Here we are at the crack of dawn in the lounge.</div>

We had a good flight and arrived safe and sound at the Sydney Miniature Fair. Eager to go - but alas we were one hour early! Never the less, we managed to find some people to chat to and passed the time away rather quickly. The whole day was taken up looking at some delightful 'bits and pieces' for our hobby.

We had a wonderful night last night in the hotel - Vikki's family came for tea and a visit and it was a scream - what a 4 year old says at the most appropriate moment is priceless - they are the moments when you wish you had a movie camera on hand! <br />
<br />
After a good nights sleep we were up and atom and set off for the airport to come home. Once again lounging in the Qantas Club! This was the early breakfast that I had - very nice :)))<br />

Part of the reason I was there, was to accept two lovely cheques - one for the YWCA Encore program and one for the YWCA She program. Both cheques were very gratefully received and will go a long way towards helping women in both programs - so thank you Zonta for your hard work!<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjugqrw0hYlE_ZdJzVD1pxQ-qyQMmEL5KYn7XnB01NXfx7ICNkgQxSC54jJd24TyYkyw3pjHV0E9uI0wShO-8Zk8fsioZpjdirm79sEw2FSQdx50T466wrR66SZKuvzznT-1vANtkXZdas/s320/023.JPG" width="240" /></div>

Last night, SW and myself went along to the <a href="http://www.zontadistrict23.org.au/List%20of%20Clubs.htm">Para District Zonta Clubs</a> handover dinner at the <a href="http://www.countrycomforthotels.com.au/adelaide/country-comfort-hotel-adelaide-manor/">Adelaide Manor</a>. It has been a few years since we dinned out at this facility and I don't know why! The food and service was very good. (Would of licked the plate if it hadn't been bad manners! LOL) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Zonta do a lot of things in the community that I was not aware of (some I knew - that's why I was there). One of the things is that they make quilts for two areas of charity - Accident and Emergency unit at the Women and Children's hospital - for the children who need comfort, and the Northern Domestic Violence Unit - for the women at varying stages of their new life after violence. The two pics below are some of the wonderful work these ladies (and non-members of Zonta) do. </div>

Can you please link your blog to my post, send the link along to your email lists and quilty friends, post my link on your facebook pages? We need to get the word out on this one!</p> <p>Here is the news I received:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong><em>Please be on the lookout for Sally Schneider’s “Farmer’s Daughter” quilt. It was last seen on January 26, 2012 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was being shipped to Martingale & Company, home of That Patchwork Place. It was to be included in her book that will be published in January 2013.</em></strong> </p><p><strong><em>This quilt is 95″ by 95″. It combines the scrappy look with cream. The background is Moda Grunge. This quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted.</em></strong> </p><p><strong><em>If you find this quilt, please contact Sally immediately at </em></strong><strong><em><a href="mailto:sally@sallyschneider.com">sally@sallyschneider.com</a></em></strong><strong><em>.</em></strong></p></blockquote> <p>I was just IN Albuquerque this past fall. Such a beautiful place, and I hate to think of anyone who would DARE steal a quilt from a traveling quilt teacher/lecturer! It just makes my blood boil, and my heart break for Sally. </p><p>This is what Sally had to say via her facebook page:</p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><b><i><blockquote>Bad news today -- one of my quilts was stolen from it's bin -- Farmer's Daughter, a queen-size quilt is missing.

One of my friends got caught in an area of rain that was nearly window deep on her car - she is fine but got a little shaken!
