Where Did This Week Go?

I don't know!  I just know that it is nearly over.  It is a bit like driving home,  but not knowing how I got there.

I've been wanting to blog all week about the fabulous weekend away our Craft Group had in Ballarat.  It was so nice to get away and just craft our hearts out.  Simone brought the first half of the Project Runway Australia .  That was seriously addictive with lots of big personalities.   I can't wait to see the rest.  Of course, no weekend away would be complete without a trip to the local Patchwork Shops.  We ran into Jodie and  Annie at  Ballarat Patchwork who very kindly took us to Gail's Emporium.  What a fantastic shop. Look what Jodie found.  Thanks Jodie and Annie for such a great time.

The accommodation was fantastic.  There was lots of room for crafting .

 
However, there was one thing I couldn't get my head around.....


The house had a lock on just about every door except the toilet!  The toilet had a switch system.  I was so fascinated by it, that I had to share  it!  The system is pretty self explanatory, however you have to do the switch flicking yourself.  It was very important not leave the red and green lights on at the same time as this could cause confusion!


There was also time for procastination.  The cunning plan was to sew up these squares over the weekend.  We got as far as this.....

As you can see, we are brimming over with enthusiasm at the prospect of putting this blanket together.

So does green mean go as in "you can go in", or go as in "don't come in because it's my turn to go".... !!!

Your weekend away sounds perfect Ann Marie.
