Oma carla's Handmades

Have had a stressful time with the separation of our son and his wife and instead of it becoming a simple divorce, things have become complicated. Almost seems like she does not want to let go, yet she is always angry and indicates total dislike of him. Won't go into great detail but it has been stressful because we live on the property. We are entitled to take our house off because it is a transportable but even that costs money, big money. However , we will, if we need to. Lucky we have Trev's sister and her husband because they have a property we can go to. To help relieve the stress I have gone into making rag dolls. It was something I have wanted to do for a long time. I had been collecting fabrics to do quilting but that is rather expensive , so, one way to use up the fabrics. I do three sizes and have named them Travelling Dolls as I thought they would be good travel companions. Here are some of them. They are all named after a next generations, family member and travelling to a particular place, eg Chantal is going to Paris to join the Moulin Rouge and Chelsea is going to Fiji to marry. Having a lot of fun with them and enjoying the project.

Please be careful not to open strange emails from ME.

 Hi
If you receive this email, you are on my email address list , for some reason. If you receive an email that appears a bit strange and apparently has nothing in the subject line, please delete it.
 
It appears I have been hacked and although I have not found any virus on my computer, my sister 's computer has broken down , after she opened such an email. I am so sorry this is done in my name and for safety sake, if you don't want to open ANY emails from me, I will understand, I will try to avoid emailing for a while altogether.
 
Carla Branch.

Mixed Bag

A pity money does NOT grow on trees because travel is still our favourite occupation and a time when even the old grump is happy, May, saw us having a wonderful holiday in Kota Kinabalu ( Malaysian Borneo) and Kuala Lumpur. It was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
Pixie welcomes me home,views from the' Australind' to Bunbury (free pensioners trip)AND dropping the girls off at school.
Our other new baby, Missy. Full of life, full of mischief but adorable. She's having her first haircut today!! Just wait, you groomers.
The grandchildren and even our latest, Alexis.
