Hello lovely bloggers,
I would like to welcome all my new followers. I really love reading all of your comments and checking out your blogs, as well. The online cross-stitching community is an awesome one.
Well, I can tell you - one upside of having a cold and not being able to do much all weekend is that I got lots of stitching done for IHSW. See my great progress on Isabella's Garden:

Off to do some more stitching, whilst DH and I watch Underbelly:Razor - an Aussie TV programme all about the
1920/1930s razor gang wars in Darlinghurst, Sydney. The rival gangs fought so viciously with cut throat razors that Darlinghurst became known as Razorhurst for a time. The interesting thing is that the two gang leaders were women -
Kate Leigh who was a sly grog runner and
Tilly Devine, who was referred to as a 'chaperone of magdalenes'. Now, isn't that a lovely turn of phrase to describe a brothel madam?
That's all for me now,
Hugs, Kaye xoxox
