Thankyou to everyone!!

I wasn't able to reply at the time, but it meant a lot to read everyone's messages after we lost our house due to a bushfire on Dec 23 2090.

At 10am that day, I signed the papers for the money to be transferred to purchase my Millie. By 3pm the same day we had lost our house.

14 houses and many buildings were destroyed!

Thankfully there was no loss of life!

Thankfully our dog was having a haircut!

Thankfully our shed - we live on 7 acres of land - with all my DH tools was not damaged.

We lost all our 'love things'...photos, quilts, sentimental jewellary......

We have soooo much to be thankful for, having the support of the community and family and friends.

I am busy stitching Leanne Beasley's Peace and Plenty given to me with the thread, needles, scissors in "Nellie's Sewing Bag" by a Guild friend.

What else do you need? Maybe we can all pitch in and send a goodie box to down under??

I'm glad you are sewing again!!

Hi chrisee, I remember hearing about this fire around Christmastime. I am sorry you lost so much but that you are grateful for what you do have. Take care and please share photos of Peace and Plenty when finished. Keep in touch!!

Hey, Chrisee, you are so positive! I love that. You are right about not being able to replace people and pets but I know your heart is broken about all your "love things." Glad your husband saved his tools!
