A few interesting quotes:
Never trust your fears. They don’t know your strength.
- Athena Singh
Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts
- Winston Churchill
Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose. 
- Michelle Rosenthal

Be well, stay curious and look for the wonder every day.
Enjoy the journey.

A New Place To Call Home




A house warming floral arrangement from dear friends.
Tiberius enjoying the sun in the new place.
A glimpse of one of the gardens, nothing grand, a few beds around the house and a fenced in vegetable plot. It is going to be interesting to see what emerges around the place.
Images of the house to follow.
Enjoy the journey.

A Quilt For Someone Special

Quilt for someone special by Turtle & Dragon
A quilt for ABA - Spring 2013
Happy weekend to each of you! The quilt is now complete. I finished hand stitching the binding on Friday and it has been laundered. Now all I have to do is package it up and get it sent in the post. Here is an image of the back, which gives a nice close up of the quilting done in orange thread. I rented time on a local long arm quilting machine, Glenna, my teacher and friend is always such a tremendous help and so supportive.
Hope all is well wherever you are.
Enjoy the journey.

Sewing Bits


 Did a bit of sewing over the past couple of weeks which means I am slowly working through some of my fabric stash. I made a throw for the house, a quick project and super cuddly. Made up seven totes, always useful, using this pattern (minus the lining).  Also put together another infinity scarf using a wonderfully soft fabric.  Finally put together a new duvet cover and am quite pleased with it, I have posted an image on flickr. Also finished up a few quilt blocks, using up some leftover fabric from previous projects and am still trying to decide how they will come together in a quilt front or two (see flickr for images).
Everything is very green after the rain we have had. It has been a great spring for wildflowers and the roses are blooming up a storm.  The vegetables are progressing slowly but surely.  The hummingbirds have made an appearance so the feeders are out and frequently attended by the winged wonders.  Hope all is well wherever you are.  Enjoy the journey.

Meet Tiberius

Meet Tiberius by Turtle & Dragon
Tiberius - 22 December 2012
We adopted this four month old kitten last week. Getting a non blurry image is proving difficult. He is a handsome, curious and very playful lad. Tiberius seems to be adjusting well to his new home.

Merry Christmas! Wishing each and everyone a holiday full of love, laughter and health. We wanted to share a reading of a Christmas favourite from a previous year. Enjoy these magical holidays!!! ox
