Just a quick post before I take off for the Wedding. Tuesday was the day of Australia's famous horse race, The Melbourne Cup. It is a tradition for lots of MC parties to be held, and the quilt group was no exception.
We had a great Day, lovely friends, yummy food. Didn't win any of the sweeps...my nags are still running I think. Even wore a hat. Sorry the photo is not very clear. I was told later that my fascinator should have been worn on the other side. Had to crop the photo because I was standing with my legs askew and it looked very unelegant......good for a laugh though. Wish I had remembered to take my camera.....
Had a lovely surprise on Sunday, Rach and Paul and the boys called in on their way up for her brothers wedding on Saturday. The boys were so funny, but in my excitement forgot to take photo. Might have to begin wearing my camera round my neck.
Their mother Kim informed me today that the other brother, Tom has been diagnosed with a huge clot in his leg from his calf to above his knee. Might have to give him a "nana lecture" about listening to the Doctor's instructions and adhering to them.
Am almost packed. The only trouble with being organised is that I end up with lots of spare time!
Will be able to study the first Gimp class tomorrow, and maybe get something done before I leave.
I didn't know there was a right side for a fascinator but at least you remembered to wear yours. A couple of years ago I had one to wear at my daughters wedding and I forgot to put it on!

ReplyDeleteYou're taking a gimp class?
Shirley....you look so pretty! I have never heard of a fascinator! I am supposing it is the hairpiece???? It looks great!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a horse race party! The MC must be like the Kentucky Derby in the States. My DIL's sister got to go this year and also wore a hat!
Good luck with your Gimp class. Maybe that is something I need, as I am a big dummy with it!

Have a wonderful time, Shirley, you are looking elegant with the fascinator - what a name - it is new to me - heavenly.
ReplyDeleteYou look particularly classy there my friend!! Hope all is well, and the patient will be over the worst of it soon. Good luck with the GIMP class. I seem to have forgotten everything I learnt. Talk soon, and hope to see you soon. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteYou looked lovely that day my friend. It was indeed a nice day out and the food was spectacular. That is the best part of Melb. Cup I think!!
