Just seen on here that this is my 100th post. I guess it may be some sort of milestone achievement !!
Here in New South Wales Australia we have school holidays so have been busy with a few extra jobs with my adorable grandchildren.
Before the school holidays we managed to get away for a few days leaving the city life and the east coast for the country visiting beautiful Nundle a lovely tranquil valley for a few days to just absorb the scenery and surrounding acres of beautiful farmland. It is so lush and green at the moment. The trees are starting to loose their leaves and changeing colours for our Autumn is with us .They are so pretty with their amber and gold colours .It was lovely to stay a while in the quietness of the country.
We left Nundle and headed for Tamworth ."Australia's Country Music Capital". Here we stayed to visit my son and daughter inlaw and other 4 grandchildren and attended Grandparents day and the Easter Hat Parade at their school. The little ones just get so excited when we visit. I just had to have another Country Music CD while there. It was all very restful as we had a busy Easter break comeing up with lots of visitors when we got home.
Some of the beautiful wools they have.You can really be bad in there!!
Also Nundle have a great Patchwork shop ."The Cottage on the Hill" which unfortunately was shut when I was there. I have been there before and was disappointed it being closed. I knew I was going to Tamworth and that a very big Patchwork shop "Stitches between the bridges." was waiting for me there. haha
I have been sewing and knitting and have some near finishes. A quilt top for my grandaughter needs to be backed and quilted .
Happy Easter to you all
.I hope you manage to enjoy being in the sewing room this Easter break.

Happy Easter to you and your family too Jen. Gotta sus out Nundle one day on our travels. Love the sound of a visit to the Woollen Mill. Lovely photos and thanks for sharing the delights of your trip.
Good for you, 100 posts! Nundle looks wonderful and I would like to be bad at the Woolen Mill too. Love the fabric and beautiful baby jacket.
That Australian sky is so much deeper and more vivid than any in the world! I'm glad you were able to combine a nice getaway with a chance to buy more yarn and fabric. Those Moda prints you selected are wonderful!
Lovely pictures, the town of Nundle looks like a must visit sometime. The woollen mill looks like it has some real treasures.
