<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">First of all I just want you all to know, I was terribly hurt at the beginning of 2016 when life dealt me a raw deal... I was told to leave my life I was living with my then husband in Melbourne.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"> I won't say exactly what was said but it was enough for me to say.. "Well its all over!!" So I organised a removalist and packed up my stuff and moved back to W.A. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">As I said I lived with my son for a few months as I got the truck load of my stuff that cost over $6,000.00 moved to his place in Dumbleyung. I didn't get any help from anyone and its only because I got a bit of an inheritance that I was able to afford to move. I had to buy myself another car as the one I had in Melbourne was totalled by my FIL and originally I was going to drive it back to WA but after he smashed it up, I couldn't and therefor I had to fly back and also had to leave my little fur baby behind as she wouldn't have handled the flight over. I wont say what I thought of my FIL then as it still stands today. Not Nice!!</span></div>

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Anyway I was not well at that time and those who went to LGS in Tassie would remember I was not well at all. I didn't join in on any thing much then cause I just couldn't and didn't want to embarrass myself by being sick everywhere. Then when I got home the shit hit the fan so to speak and I then had to pack up and move back to WA as an unwell person. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">It was just as well I got that inheritance as it helped me get my life back on track... Well I thought it was getting back on track...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I then talked with the ones who I was a part of in organizing the LGS weekends and told them that I couldn't make it to the Adelaide for the 2017 one as I was still unwell and I had a new fur baby and would encounter several expenses to get to it. I was shunned off big time and I mean "BIG' and I have not been spoken to since and was told that my design I had was not welcomed as I wont be there. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I was planning on going to the next one in 2018 as I should have things on track by then but because I had backs turned on me I felt like I was not welcomed anymore. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I used to get phone calls by one of the "Nutters" every week and after I told them all I couldn't go those phone calls stopped...Boom!! no more... the so called 'Sistas' in my life where I was told that they loved me and will be Sisters for ever just didn't speak to me again. One has and I am thankful that she isn't like the other two. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I was deeply hurt and this blew me out of the water and I still am trying to work out how a Christian person can do this?? All I did was say I couldn't go to the<br />Adelaide LGS. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Anyway I am sure a few of you go to these weekends away and I hope that you have a wonderful time there. Just don't believe all you are told until you get it from the horses mouth. (Mine)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">The next chain of events are very disappointing as you think you have friends and you listen to all their woes and tribulations and show them empathy and such but when you confide in them when you are having a lousy time in life they run for the hills. A couple of so called friends have run away and wont explain why they have and so I wont wonder anymore as I now am a firm believer in this below.</span></div>

<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">I am a Taurus and once I make a friend and let you in my life I expect to be your friend for a Lifetime.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Hello Bloggers!!! My goodness...It's 2 and a half years since I last did a blog post. What happened??</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I got busy with Pinterest and Facebook and Instagram. Plus life! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Well I wont guarantee too many future posts but I will try to do some more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It wouldn't surprise me if you stopped following me and said... whats the use in following her she doesn't post anything. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> But I will put up a few pics to get into the hang on posting again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First up is I am now living in Mandurah, Western Australia. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After moving from Melbourne in 2016. How time flies eh? Sheesh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I moved from Melbourne to live with my son and his partner for about 8 months then I got a little house to rent ...this was in Dumbleyung.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From there I shifted to Mandurah in August 2018. Which is an hour south of Perth.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I now can watch my grandies grow up!! I don't miss them terribly like I did when I was in Melbourne. That was the worse thing and I missed my kids too. But not anymore!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been sewing and doing quilts on my longarm quilting machine so that has kept me busy as well as gardening. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I got a garden going in the Dumbleyung house as there practically nothing there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here in this house I am in now I keep the garden maintained but dont seem to have the desire to do gardening as I did in Dumbleyung. I guess it will come once I find the energy. That only seems to be there for living at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well On that note I will post this and I hope I don't shock you too much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I will do more posts and put up pics of my sewing and creations very soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hugs to all</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I hope you like lots of piccies cause I have a few to show you…</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I want to show you what design I did for the Let’s Get Stitched weekend we had in Melbourne.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I called it Autumn Rose and lots of the ladies loved it.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<img alt="Summer Love" border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-4m1sJxs6LWo/U4WJF9CmDCI/AAAAAAAAFhE/HusXOrDsCuQ/Summer%252520Love%25255B11%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="281" style="border: 0px currentColor; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Summer Love" width="481" /> <span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I stitched the embroidery design with Aurifil Threads Ne. 12 but it can be done in your favourite threads.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<img alt="Autumn Rose centre panel (2)" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-iWCFCBCFfxE/U4WJKfBjVqI/AAAAAAAAFhM/u4eKV-J66EU/Autumn%252520Rose%252520centre%252520panel%252520%2525282%252529%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" height="264" style="border: 0px currentColor; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Autumn Rose centre panel (2)" width="387" /> </div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">Next up is a paper pieced block I am doing…all up I will do nine of these and have done six, so three to go. Then it will be a lap size quilt. Of course with sashings and borders. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I have been doing A Bee In My Bonnets sew along and really enjoyed sewing this little quilt.

<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I am rather proud to show you that my design has been published in the currant issue of Homespun magazine. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I really loved sewing this and designing it and Susan was excited to be able to publish it. I think she wanted to keep it lol. Thanks for sending it back to me Susan :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I had to have little Lady Bugs…some call them Lady Birds and also I crocheted a frill around the flower centres for a 3D effect. If you don’t crochet then just do appliqué. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">As some of you know, I have got myself a new quilting frame and a new sewing machine just for being on the frame to quilt with. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">This is my first quilt I done with it.. I have done some quilting on my domestic sewing machine but to have a frame is very exciting! </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">I just did an all over squiggle and didn't get frustrated like I do on my domestic one - much more room!!</span></div>

Put it in God’s hands.</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3">This happens with me when people do strange things that are directed at me in a round about way and quite often I worry about why some people are hell bent on being not very nice and also others who constantly have the ‘Woe is me’ thing going …now tell me is this to get an audience and sympathy all the time? But surely people eventually see thru this and just don't say anything and think…Oh boy…here they go again…wonder what next week will be.</font></p> <p align="center"><img title="deck-the-halls-010-post-divider-4" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="deck-the-halls-010-post-divider-4" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-qR0Vw6dXC6g/U36Ywrv1qMI/AAAAAAAAFgU/LcYnlHrLNe0/deck-the-halls-010-post-divider-4%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="36"> </p> <p align="center"><font size="3">I don’t mean to be so deep and I don’t usually be this way but after reading others blogs and how they talk about their deep thoughts etc. I thought well I can too and I am.</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3">I try to be tolerable and usually shrug comments off and just let them go but when people do things behind my back and it gets to me from a reliable source I really don’t understand how they can do that and when I front them with it all, they act like they did nothing wrong and even tell lies…WTF???? Actually I think they believe their own lies and really think you are a dumb ass and will believe them too. People like this are very sad and insecure ones and in the end being friends with them is not an option. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3">Being hurt by them regularly just isn’t an option anymore. </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3">It’s sad to have a friendship pass but if that person drains you constantly you just got to move on from them.</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3"></font> </p> <p align="center"><img title="flowercurl1" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline" border="0" alt="flowercurl1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Lsex3Fzs1aXDQF0f0q1rtw0Cdyp-eHyasL7fzQXVSfZCkTmLh8yiE9ZkhP2AO9JJE_VXoh9joYqoVyfBNcO6LH2KABkq1eN0f3X2lqoLAnp4PQXnJOr-wLGtFTUCP0VTbl1_8ij6FmGs/?imgmax=800" width="240" height="59"> </p> <p align="center"><font size="3">This past week I have had some deep thoughts going on and have decided that I am only going to surround myself with true to their word, positive and sincere people.</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3"><font size="3">I used to give people three chances at being true and sincere and after the third nasty event that they create toward me, I disassociated from them. </font></font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3"><font size="3" face="thr">As I have gotten older I have become less tolerable and from now on they just get one chance.

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Throw My Hands Up in the Air; font-size: medium;">First of all the weekend in Melbourne with all the ladies who came to the Let’s Get Stitched event. It was a blast and everyone who went said they had the best weekend with like minded friends which made me very happy because I was a bit flat out organising it and making sure we had everything done for it all. </span></div>
