Looking back on the last 12 months 2009 has been an eventful and busy year.
January 2009 was the start of a new year but it also was the start of a new phase of my life.
Life changes
On the 26th January I meet Richard and Andrea, Siobhan and Harley Kitchen. I had previously given things to Andrea on freecycle (toilet paper and a calendar!) and it was from a posting I made on the cafe in regard to Alpha courses that I came to meet Andrea and her family in person. I was invited to dinner where I also meet Harley Kitchen again. I'd meet Harley when I was in High School in Bendigo in 1977. We chatted over a lot of things and at the end of the night I was invited to go to their church, TLC on Sunday. I went and have since met lots of people and have made new friends.
Going to TLC has made my life busy again and I'm enjoying the people and church. I've been able to meet a lot of people through the dinner groups and Brink.
Over the year I have had the usual ongoing health issues as well as being diagnosed with a condition causing me to loose my peripheral vision, a fracture in my right foot which still hasn't healed and only one hospital admission for an infection.
I've been working two days a week and continued studying part time although I ended up deferring my second semester subject because of my health.
I am not sure what 2010 will be but hopefully it will be a good year. I am hoping to have surgery to fix my fractured foot and am hoping that my sight does not deteriorate too much more. I start back at Brink and studying in February.
Craft
This year I have concentrated on making quilts but have also made a few other things during the year. I love having lots of things on the go and love finishing things off and giving them to the person I've made it for. Here are the projects that I have worked on in 2009:
Finished projects
- cushions for mum and Heather
- doggy hats
- stitchery for Nance
- Jake's curtains
- Sewing knitted squares into blankets
- Olivia's 'Settler girl' knitted cardigan
- Jake's board shorts
Nearly finished
- Jake's quilt
- Hannah's quilt
- Sarah's quilt
- Lachlan's knitted vest
My aim for 2010 is to finish off Lachlan's vest and have Jake, Hannah & Sarah's quilts finished so that they are ready to be entered into a quilt show in September. I am also hoping to have Olivia's quilt finished but since I haven't started that yet I am not sure it will be finished by September.
