Back for a moment.

Gee I forgot about this blog, I may just have another go at it. It is New years eve on Saturday night and I am going to make some resolutions for the new year. I will post them soon and also let you now what I have been doing.

Well this has to be the slowest blog on the net. My computer has been down for 2 months, and now that it is back, it has a euro symbol stuck to the a key, see...a€. I have noticed just now that it only happens if I linger on the key, ie the faster I tap it the less it happens. If you have any idea how to fix this, pleeese let me know.

Not only is it the slowest blog, but it has to be the worst as I have neglected it badly. I didn't realise how organised you have to be to do a blog. Anyway I hope it gets better as I am sick of it already. It is much better reading someone elses than doing one.

I am gonna go and think a bit and hopefully come back with some good stuff for you all out there. Some freebies of some sort, like a sewing pattern or a paper doll or two. Or some pictures of beautiful Burrum Heads, where I live, that, I promise, will bore you to tears, just joking Burrum is a beautiful place.
Anyway Best Wishes till next time (PS, Don't hold ur breath in case you suffocate waiting for my next thrilling instalment.) ha ha ha.

Some of my Crafts from the past.

I made these two pieces at Tafe in Hervey Bay. I was studying for a Diploma in Visual Arts at the time , but sadly didn't finish it as usual. This one sold at the Hervey Bay gallery.

They were based on the sea life around my area. I think mangroves were a great influence. ????

The cat and the little joey also sold on ebay.

This is one of many drawings I did of Pug puppies, they are sooo cute, dont' you think?
They sold like hot cakes.

Heres a dingo. I don't like the way it is outlined, but at the time I thought it was good enough to sell, and it did.

I will post more later, I have heaps. I have had a bit of trouble with the spacing of the pix. The way you see them is the way they uploaded and I couldn't seem to get a space between the cat and the Joey. Anyway more to come later.

Hello, is anyone there.

Hi this is my first posting on my new blog. I have called it Bitz and Pieces because I have a limited attention span and flit from one thing to the other, usually weekly. It could be crafts, cooking, health, gardening, fishing, bush walking or just about anything.



I suppose I should tell you a bit about me, as this is my first post. I am a late 50 ish widow of 9 years living in Queensland Australia. I dabble in lots of things as I have said above. I am writing a blog in the hope that eventually I will help you find interesting things to do with yourself. Also I would like to share with you my beautiful surrounds here in South East Queensland, and some idea of the way of life here in Australia. Naturally I would be very happy to hear from you and also find out about you as well. Please feel free to comment (good or bad) on anything I write about, and ask me questions if you wish.


Now to something new. This week (today actually, 3rd of Febuary) I have started on the Atkins diet because the Biggest Loser has come back on TV and I reckon I need to lose about 5 stone. (ah thats 70lbs or 30kgs or there abouts). No small amount, but I am not in a great hurry. I chose Atkins because after a few days it gets your appetite under control, (yes I have been there before, but gave up because I couldn't drink alcohol till the cows came home, but that's another story, I don't drink much now). Anyway I will keep you posted on how I am going.
