Diddles part 2..........

Weekends at Girls Day in the Country, Bathurst Blog Meets, Chookshed Birthdays and Scrub Stitchin' Diddles was a hoot.......
She failed completely at trying to blog since she had become part of a big blog group.......she did try to blog...lol.......omg some of those phone calls/emails trying to sort that..........we gave up..........lol


going thru all these pics (that might I add are in no particular order) has made it even more harder since we have canceled all events that would have happened.........
my blog friends are a big part of my life I would see someone nearly every month or two face to face......and yes we live a long way from each other......

This was the night I discovered Diddles could sing etc...........we didn't find out until the next day that was had crashed a living wake....well I think we made there night better singing along with them..........
you were part of our blog/sewing tribe.......
Our times together are very special........everyone just slots in so easy and makes it a wonderful time for all..........offering support and advice on projects we are working on.......
its weird to think that one of us is gone forever..........

the quilt we made for you when you couldn't come to Scrub Stitchin'.........I love this photo Sonia took when she met to give you the quilt.........
and below the time you went missing at the Chookshed Birthday and you were found in the Chookyard feeding lambs with Mr Chooky.......
Love you my time with you........you fought hard and had amazing faith...........
It was great that I could make it to your funeral Diddles to say farewell......
meet the family that I had only heard about......
gathering with a few of the girls to bid you a final farewell we laughed cried and laughed again..........
as per usual meetings.......we ate too much food and found some fabric to buy in your honour.....Annette held strong for that one time that you may have not brought something at the shop when you visited.......
Take care......
