more future fun

Hi, here it is almost the end of February 2013, and this is the first post of the year? Oh well, onward and upward! This week will see me journeying with Mother and Sister Catherine, to visit the Convent at Kandos and attend the Rylstone/Kandos show. I have entered a small triangle shawll, the same one that came first in Berry. It will be up against some stiff competition, as to be expected, from the Her Mother Superior, Margot,and the uber prize winning entries from Dubbo. It's a wonderful thrill to see your work on display, and I am hopeful of a successful outcome. The group will be meeting up for a Yum Cha morning tea/early lunch in Rylstone and then heading on to the show. Tea will undoubtedly be somewhere local and then back to the Fairways at Kandos, since I did not want to ask mum to sleep on a matress on the floor at the Convent. Breakfast will be at the railway station, and then probably a trip to Dunns Swamp and then on to Gulgong, back to Blackheath for lunch/afternoon tea, finishing up back at mine some time around 5pm Sunday. Its full on for the fourth weekend in a row, but what an adventure it has been. Previous weekends have involved time away in Gerringong (at the Mercure), Katoomba (at Hotel Blue), at Kiama (with Sister Catherine). and to top it all off, March is shaping up to be busy too with time away with Sister Catherine and Mother in Kangaroo Valley for a quilt show at Nowra, and Easter in Gerringong. This year is full up certainly, at some stage the family home is going on the market, and huge changes will then proceed from this. Bring it on (I think). we'll see how it all goes. cheers for now gemma #gemmagogo (I know this only works on twitter)
