The Voice You Believe

Some wonderful quotes and words of encouragement were shared by our Pastor this morning.....

Deliberations

After much deliberation and opinion seeking, I've decided to go with all of these flowers. We were considering pulling out the brighter/deeper ones to give a more serene effect, but after already having removed all those with touches of navy last year, I was beginning to think I may never end up with a finish.

I really do like the brighter pieces as they add more 'bounce' to this Fresh Fields quilt. What do you think? Combining the work of the last few weeks with that of last year, I now have around 60 flowers. I'm aiming for 100+ before working on final placement and stitching together.

Wooli in Winter

The view from the house where my brother's family is holidaying in Wooli is spectacular. There is even a lighthouse on the islands 14km away on the horizon (North Solitary Island Lighthouse). They can see whales swimming by from the kitchen sink! Last night my brother smoked some of the fish they had caught on his homemade smoker.

Today we visited and had a wonderful time together. The cousins even spotted some whales to point out to our children. Then they went down to the beach for some beach cricket - and turning Gracie into a mermaid!

A beautiful winter's day

Pocket Full of Starlight

Too late to catch the sunset, too early to watch the moonrise, but I did find Venus and Jupiter! And while walking home in the near dark I saw a falling star - and put it in my pocket, to save it for a rainy day.....

Midway 2015, Keep Dreaming

Let your dreams be bigger than your fears,

your actions louder than your words,

and your faith stronger than your feelings.
