<div style="text-align: center;">
And to finish off this year I came across a lovely idea at Made in the Monaro which is a little hand made shop in Cooma</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simply get 2 pages from a magazine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stitch them together and leave an opening at the top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and voila there you have a little gift bag to pop your gift in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure uses up some of those magazines!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On that note I would like to wish my readers a very Happy New Year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the best in Health and Happiness and World Peace for 2019</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here we are 29 December and I feel quite the stranger here on my Blog</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had a few things happening with allergies here namely coughing when I eat plus feelings of heaviness and other issues</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This all appears to be due to the environment, and living at sea level</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These all but disappear when I go up to higher ground/altitude</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Consequently we are looking at moving up to higher ground but its all such a big deal as we have to take JoJo into account and look into new disability services </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In this case we can see where Health becomes No 1 as it would be hard being how I feel as we are getting older</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank goodness I have spoken with other people and quite a few have similar issues and have moved for similar reasons</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I thought I was a Beach Chick but looks like I could be a Mountain Girl as per my maiden name!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought I would work on this Stitcher's Roll which is from a Girls Day in the Country Day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pattern by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
February also took me up to the High Country for an experiment to see how I fared up there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These comings and goings went on for the whole year and the results are very encouraging!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I set myself up with my sewing machine and relished the time alone during the day at a relative's place</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I talked with a real estate agent in the area and he said he had moved about 15 people who had moved to the coast back to this small Alpine town due to asthma, allergies, humidity etc</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far so good for me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will see what Fate has in store for us!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my Friends I'll see if I can catch up with Goings On for this year.......see how I go lol</div>

Phew......what a year I am having....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few health issues have cropped up which have really knocked me around so this is the first time in 9 years I haven't joined OPAM </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I would just cruise along at my own pace sewing wise while we sort ourselves out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looks like allergy problems are going to take us up to higher ground away from our Sea Change which I thought would last forever......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some things are just not meant to be............sigh!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus this means having to sort JoJo out as well for disability programmes........double sigh!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On 22nd May 2071 this year my Dear Aunt Ausma (Dawn) passed away after some health setbacks....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was my Beloved Godmother and Aunt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She did beautiful Tapestries......one pictured above</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A great Knitter too........she used to knit for David Jones (department store)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She could play Canasta with 2 decks of cards</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was a talented Musician and this talent runs through the Family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She rang me on every Birthday and in between</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her and my Family had a hard time escaping the war having to leave everything behind and start all over again in a new country, Australia, but they did it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will certainly miss her especially her cheery voice on my Birthday</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I thought I would start off a Sourdough batter for some Bread</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having learnt that if Dough is proved for a minimum of roughly 12 hours the Gluten in the process breaks right down......Perfect for Gluten Intolerants like me</div>

More information over <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/23/sourdough-bread-gluten-intolerance-food-health-celiac-disease">here </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's all about slowing it right down like in the old days before mass baking where now bread can be made in an hour!!!</div>

My MAC won't upload my photos and the pad can't do it as Blogger needs an upgrade and there isn't one that I know of. Anyone else have this? Meanwhile I'll keep trying......Have a great day everyone......Dzintra<br />

Stitchery designed by Bonnie Sullivan for Girls Day In The Country </div>

We were each given a pattern and could make anything we like out of it for a Swap and this was my contribution</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For February I made a new Heat Bag Cover for JoJo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see above this was sorely needed</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l_ZKXbRfluc/WLOW79AWWhI/AAAAAAAARnk/J77JPubLsqw/s640/blogger-image-589981360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l_ZKXbRfluc/WLOW79AWWhI/AAAAAAAARnk/J77JPubLsqw/s400/blogger-image-589981360.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I am out and about and JoJo happens to be with me I ask her to select some Fat 1/4's that she likes and she chose this music one so I thought it would make a perfect cover for her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

For the second time since I received them I sewed one of my name labels on to it and I thought it looked pretty cool!!!</div>

Hope I can keep up this year as I have a couple of big projects to do!!!</div>

Another delicious Cook Up has happened from donna hay magazine Issue 88 Aug/Sep 2016</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up I started the Dessert Cake preparation </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even made my own <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_de_leche">Dulce De Leche </a>instead of purchasing it but come to think of it I have never seen it available in our small coastal town<br />
<br />
Recipe for Homemade Dulce De Leche by Donna Hay available <a href="https://www.donnahay.com.au/recipes/snacks-and-sides/homemade-dulce-de-leche">here</a> and also above blog in Pages</div>
<br />
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qvmSsEO6nJo/WDecV_Bn4fI/AAAAAAAARZE/mlI91OmpWu4/s640/blogger-image-495458624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qvmSsEO6nJo/WDecV_Bn4fI/AAAAAAAARZE/mlI91OmpWu4/s400/blogger-image-495458624.jpg" width="300" /></a><br />
<br />
Condensed Milk ready to go into oven covered by foil and in a Water Bath<br />
I don't think I left mine in long enough due to the paler colour and thickness of it compared to Donna's but in any case it was still delicious<br />
Also a bit hard to check as it was covered by baking paper, foil and string<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QIGQSjaLfB0/WDecaJ5EvUI/AAAAAAAARZM/E2_1ez66GhA/s640/blogger-image--1517795143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QIGQSjaLfB0/WDecaJ5EvUI/AAAAAAAARZM/E2_1ez66GhA/s400/blogger-image--1517795143.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see Donna's version is really dark and quite thick</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Dulce De Leche is sitting atop Chocolate Ganache</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Show and Tell in the evening<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is my 20 year project</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'From Blackheath to Bathurst to Bungendore'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Started off as Blocks......turned into a Wall Hanging and then eventually it was suggested I make a Quilt<br />
Blocks were cut before the advent of Rotary Cutters where you pulled a piece of thread through the fabric, hoped it wouldn't break and then cut very carefully along that line......phew!!!<br />
And sandpaper was used to hold fabric in place!!!</div>

I made this Book Bag for Author <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dzintra.sullivan">Dzintra Sullivan</a> after meeting her a few months ago and seeing that she loved Halloween I thought this quite apt for her as I had the fabric.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also put on a name label for her *Dzintra* right where I would put mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty cool I thought seeing she had the same name!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank You <a href="http://www.happyinquilting.blogspot.com/">Sweet Peg</a> and her Partner in Crime <a href="http://www.tagalongteddies.blogspot.com/">Kris</a> for hosting OPAM</div>
