Well it's our Royal show day holiday today for Brisbane and as we live on the outskirts our area had a holiday on Monday as well. Now we fall into 2 categories here...you either love the "Ekka" or you hate it. I fall into the 2nd category as I dislike crowds it isn't for me. My Husband always took our children as it doesn't set a very good example to the 'billy lids' when the Mother is losing the plot at every turn and children don't like have bruises on their hands or losing the feeling in their arms where the 'crazy' Mother is gripping them like a seized up vice in case they get lost or decide to wander off. They preferred Dad anyway as No was seldom in his vocabulary when it came to buying 'sample bags'. So it suited everyone!
So needless to say I didn't go this year either! I did however finish another "Country Garden" block and a Christmas pressie (just a sneak peek). I also am still in Christmas 'drawing' mode....thought I was finished but nope there is still some left to get down on paper. The butterflies and flowers still won't come...instead it's still Christmas all the way!!!

Your new block is really gorgeous! The christmas sneak peek is cute too.
ReplyDeleteI don't enjoy the Royal show here much anymore, it is just so commercial. When the boys were little we used to go often. I think Hubby and I loved all the animals more than the kids lol.We would catch up with friends that showed dogs and cattle.
I don't like our royal show either (I'd much rather spend a couple of hundred bucks on fabric)
ReplyDeleteOn the up side I think you had more fun stitching than "showing" anyway! Lovely!
I hate crowds too Michelle... went to our little local show once, and didn't like it at all..
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever with your designs..
Ohhh... you are B-a-D !
ReplyDeleteI love the chrissy embroidery though! Can't wait to see MoRe!
Cheers
No clue what an Ekka is but I don't like crowds either! Your stitcheries are AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sneaky peak!
