And just like that its the start of September - how on earth did that happen! Once again I dont have any finishes to show you - but I have a lot that are awfully close so maybe next week! I know Ive told you about the calves that have been born - but have I bragged about finally getting a red and white polled (no horns!!!) calf - this has been my dream for so long and this season weve managed to breed two This is amber - isnt she cute? and there is also ruby
On the reading front I finally finished the physical book Ive been struggling with - The Vanished Days by Susanna Kearsley
I had a very interesting relationship with this book I started three times and the first two times I really didnt enjoy it I leant it to a friend who said she loved it and I had a reassess - I really should like it - I usually really enjoy this author, its about scotland and in the late 1600s which I also really enjoy so I really couldn't work out the problem Anyways third time is the charm! I pushed through and by the time I got half way through I did start to enjoy it! Its the story of the widow of a solider who went to Darien who is trying to claim a pension from the government for the work that he did and how these claims are investigated Ill give this book 3 stars as I probably wouldn't rush out and read it again but it did have interest if you push through! I finished the next book in the time police series by Jodi Taylor - Saving Time
As always with Jodi Taylors book - hilarious, sometimes sad but a great read! Im enjoying revisiting this series This time team 236 is once again on the trail of Henry Plimpton and not for the reasons they thought There's some dangerous times but the team works it out with their usual resourcefulness Of course 5 stars! Ive also managed to sort through several of the projects in my "to be made" pile and donated a few that I really dont think I will get around to making - its made a very small dent in the pile - but Ill claim that small dent Heres to an awesome September !

Mums eulogy

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N...

Ive had a very special finish and its a quilt that I love, I wish I didnt have to make but Im so glad that I have When mum went to heaven, the online quilting group that I am a member of - Southern Cross Quilters had the members make me heart blocks in rememberance of my dear mum. I asked for rainbow colours for the hearts as one of mums favorite songs was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the result and its it lovely..... Its taken me a while to be able to sew them together and to quilt and bind it - I needed to wait for the right time Yes it was sad but also so very healing and it is one very special quilt that will hold a very special place in my heart Thank you to each and every one of the SCQuilters who made me a block Your love shines through Also PS the fabric I used as the borders and the backing fabrics were mums as was the label panel - that felt right
