OPAM (One Project A Month......May)

I have a small Sewing Wallet for my OPAM this month

Made with felt with a cotton lining

It's a project from a Stitching Day held by Fiona and Sylvia

The wallet with the lining

and of course a little label

~Thank you Sweet Peg and Kris for hosting OPAM~

~A little R & R......a gift and Chookyblue's 2 year celebration~

Whilst on a bit of R & R from caring everyday for JoJo and healing I met up with Asta

While waiting for her as dusk was approaching this was my view

how pretty the Clyde River looked with lovely pinks coming in for sunset

And look how lovely is this little belated birthday gift from her

A gorgeous thread holder.....a lovely repro fat 1/4......a notebook and floral tissues!!!

Thank you so much Asta.......I love it all!!!

This weekend my Blogging Buddy Chookyblue is celebrating 2 years in her Chookshed.......YAY!!!

She has put an invite out to help her celebrate by stocking up on bubbles........nibblies......and taking time out to sew this weekend

I'm in on that!!!

 I'll be working on my Diamonds at Large Quilt from this book by Pam & Nicky Lintott

 and using this Layer Cake

I have sewn the blocks together and just have to work out the placement of them

A few versions here

I also hope to make a start on my Sing Bag by Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched

these are the fabrics that came with the kit!!!

 So let's break open a bottle of your preferred drink

Line up the chocolate

cheese, fruit.........whatever you want and   L E T ' S   S E W

Congratulations Chookyblue

I wonder how many wonky stitches there might be LOL!!!

Happy Sewing........Dzintra xo

'Allo 'Allo........Bay Theatre Players

As the poster says...First cab off the rank for 2014 for Bay Theatre Players 

was the much loved 'Allo, 'Allo written by Jeremy Lloyd & David Croft

and for BTP directed by Maureen Nathan

and produced by Janet Beesley

This is the flyer that was distributed throughout the community at various places

Original sketch by June Lotzof

 

Foyer with the door leading into the Theatre

Some stills on the boards

The Cap-i-tan, Edith and Colonel (said exactly as it is written)

Rene and Yvette

The set with the Peasant's Nook at the left in front of the bay window

This is where I sat with my Partner/s observing the Cafe as a Barfly

Menu for the evening

Backdrop was a scene as close as possible from Richelieu where Maureen spends part of the year with Robert

And here I am with my dashing Frenchman Peasant Robert

With my Fellow Villager Eleanor

Edith and Yvette in the Green Room

I thoroughly enjoyed my electronic cigarette and had pics taken with it LOL

I'm not really a Drama Queen......at the after party

The original Madonna with the Big Boobies by June Lotzof

Robert and Maureen after the final show at Presentations

With Jack (Gruber) the following evening

Set pulled down and ready for the next show Annie

Our FABULOUS cast

and this is what Maureen gave us all!!!

Thank you so much Maureen!!!

It was such a pleasure to be a part of this production

I normally don't do comedy and just stick with musicals and play an extra and partake in the Chorus

but when asked if I would like to sit in a French Cafe as a Barfly how could I resist!!!

See, I'm not really a Drama Queen LOL!!!

Now it's some R & R at home while I deal with some health issues and Mr Armchair helps with Jo Jo's care!!!

And now I go like a Phantom into zee night!

~Faerie Kisses Quilt......Vine Border~

The last time I blogged about my Faerie Kisses Quilt was when I was stitching the border above

Finally both borders are on YAY!!!!!!

One of the sections of the quilt

This quilt has quite a lot of stitching and beading on it

I had to test it out on a bed

and here it is in the afternoon sun today!!!

This quilt is an absolute joy to stitch and perfect for the evenings...

Quilt designed by Helen Stubbings of Hugs'n Kisses

Happy Stitching........Dzintra xo
