Temptations.

Do you have exciting temptations?
I went to neighborhood Bible Study today, it was on David and Bathsheba and talked about temptations, and how they catch up on you, the more you see something the more you want it. They may have been expecting a more exciting confession than mine, which was,
"Yeah, I know what you mean, when i started surfing the net to look at Heather Bailey's new fabric last night I was blase, but by the time I had checked it all out on all possible websites 2 hours later, it was coming home to me!!!"
Hmmm, this either means I need to get a life, OR I should tell my husband that fabric is saving our marriage!

Here is a link to Heather's blog if you want a peek. If you haven't seen the new range, definitely grows on you. I don't know about a whole quilt, but I see Summery bags at least.

I shouldn't send you to Heather's blog, it is so perfect and sweet you probably wont come back!!! I don't visit often, it makes me feel a little underachievish-you know, like visiting the absolutely perfect housewife we all know that you can never catch with her house less than perfect...but she catches you on the day you decide to clean out every kitchen cupboard at once while drying the washing in your kitchen and getting absorbed on the 'net/called out to the paddock/just quickly finishing a quilt for a quilt swap- so you haven't wiped your bench. Please tell me I am not the only one that happens to!!

Another little temptation caught my eye this week. It is the new Robert Gordon pottery range, aptly titled, "Stitches teaset". This is just the sugarbowl to whet your appetite!

Off to cook tea, tomorrow I show up to my second gym circuit session followed by Pilates-I need to start mentally preparing myself now-(and those Olympians think they have it tough!!)
Big life question though, if I did 2 hours exercise last Wednesday, why can't I be thin already!! i'll leave you to ponder that.....

Hi, I love history, and am fascinated with the Kennedys, received this is an email, sorry the pictures wont download and I have left off the slightly questionable ending about Marilyn, but the info. is interesting, if it is totally wrong someone can tell me and I'll delete it, but the basic check i did looked close enough, Tracey
History Lesson

Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theatre named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theatre.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

Returned....to housework!

I am back.....and should be fitter after all those camp activities, but really just feel exhausted. Lots of walking, hanging from ropes, canoeing-great fun.

Camp was great, DD coped and had lots of fun but is back with me today as the tummy has moved back to sore. At least she got to do her camp, we are hoping a bit of rest may spark her back up.

The men managed very well by themselves as well, had a great time I think.

Took a few photos, actually took 238, but there are only a few that I can share.

Met this lovely quiet mother, think she may have been hand reared as she hangs around the camp, isn't that baby gorgeous!

And here is a close-up, because I can!

(Feel free to "borrow" the kangaroo pics to share.)

I noticed on the way up that there were a few little noses peeking over the seat as I made hexagons on the bus. I bought the sewing out by the fire one night before tea and suffice to say I never got much done! Luckily I had packed extra fabric as a group of girls were very keen, they have taken home their hexagons to make a variety of things.

Can show you my daughter concentrating hard,

and also some interesting works in progress.....

Hoping that if I can get a big couple of hours in on my house I may have some actual quilty things to post tonight or tomorrow, Tracey
