First TUSAL for 2013, catching up with a friend and a Great Giveaway...

Well, here we go for 2013 - my first TUSAL report.  This year I thought that I would use this crystal vase which was once my mother's.
How did you all go this month?

Last night I caught up with my dear friend, Melissa, who used to work with me.  We have not seen each other for about a year!  We had a yummy dinner at The Breslin Bar and Grill in Southbank by the Yarra River.  It was a perfect night for dining on the terrace and the food was really good but the conversation and catching up even better!

 On the way to the taxi rank we saw these quirky giant gold bees "climbing" up the side of the building!

Now, just before I dash off to work, I must tell you about Nicola from Stitching by the Cornish Seashore's great giveaway of "Blue Ribbon Design by Olwyn Horwood - you can enter here.  This design is now out of print so this is a rare opportunity to acquire it.  Her giveaway closes on Feb 1st, so head over there to check it out.  Nicola's blog is well worth visiting as she stitches the most exquisite samplers.

Well, off to work for me - looking forward to the weekend.

hugs,
