Underwater Mosaic

Back in June when my sister Patti was visiting we commissioned a painting from her sight unseen. All we specified was that it should be in her trademark bright colours and be an underwater scene. Magically the day before Christmas it arrived undamaged via Aussie Post and we love it -   so here it is `unveiled’ :)

Just by coincidence we already owned 2 cushions in the exact same colours that Patti used in this Art work so we have placed them on our blue chairs in the same room. Now it all looks great.

Thanks Patti :)

Chrissie Delight to You All!!

 

We will be joining family at Caloundra for Chrissie. A large group of extended family right beside a swimming pool :) The advantage of a crowd is that each person has only a small contribution to make but we all have a wonderful time. Our youngest Grandkids are now 4 and nearly 2 and they are totally caught up in the magic so we will be too. I think we could be up very early Christmas Day. So peace and love to you all and I hope you all have a special day. I will be working in my volunteer job at Meals on Wheels tomorrow morning but we finish at 1.00 pm after all the meals are prepared, cooked, delivered and the kitchen left immaculate. I’m glad I don’t have to cook on Christmas Day :)

Everything Old is New again

 

Now we are staying here we decided to put up our `Ship’s Bell’ which used to belong to Dad.  Brother Phil gave it to him as a gift about 25 years ago and had it specially engraved. Now it is on the wall beside our front door and looks great all polished up. It will also be really useful as a front door bell :)

Our other new but old addition comes from Sister Patti. She has moved out of `Number 56’ and coincidentally we are also `Number 56’ so we now have her beautiful ceramic numbers on our letter box. Now I can see that our post needs painting so one job leads to another. So we have another little piece of family which is both beautiful and useful. Thanks again Patti :)
