A Visit to Miss Gracie's House

Last Monday a couple of friends and I visited the home of Miss Gracie who was very excited to see us. She actually got so excited she had a slight accident. LOL! However, as the afternoon wore on she became a little quieter and actually sat still for a few seconds so that I could take a quick photo or two to show you. The photos were on my camera and I was unable to get them onto my iPad while I was away as I can't get the Wi Fi option to work so here are some of them.

The end of the road

Well, probably not the end of the road but Rhonda's talk at our local library was the end of her book tour. You may have read my post about her latest book The Simple Home a little while ago.

Is Op-Shopping as good as chocolate?

When I was in the work force it was a bit of a joke amongst my colleagues that some days that were quite stressful or busy were 'chocolate'  days and we would often do our best to find some around the place and were usually successful :-) However, now that I have given up sugar the chocolate and comfort eating has had to be replaced by something else and I think that 'something else' might just be Op-Shopping in times of stress!

Tunisian Crochet Workshop

On Saturday we held our Tunisian crochet workshop which I thoroughly enjoyed. Our co-ordinator, Margy, is an excellent teacher and took us through the steps so we could learn the basic stitch. Her hubby, David, had made some crochet hooks for us to buy and he had learned how to do Tunisian crochet as well and was able to help Margy with the tutoring.

My new book has arrived

As some of my readers would be aware, Rhonda Hetzel from the Down to Earth blog and the Down to Earth Simple Living Forums, spent much of last year writing her new book The Simple Home. Well, Rhonda's book has now been published and my copy arrived in the mail this week and I was very excited to flip through the pages to see what the finished product looked like.
