Why Minki Returns

Why have I started a a blog? Why call it Minki returns? As I explained briefly Minki was a toy cow when I was a child, I had lots of home made toys all of which I loved but Minki was special. A protector and a comfort. My childhood was not straight forward may explain one day. So Minki was always there. So now when my life is upside down Minki is something I think about, wonder where she is and what happened to her and have hopes of remaking her one day. so if when reading this you know of a pattern for a cow made from felt with brown patches and a pink udder please let me know.

Who am I? I am a married woman mid 50s. Hubby is in his late 50s, is retired since mid 40s as he had a bad truck accident that left him with Post Traumatic Stress. We spend our days creating him in his woodwork workshop me in my sewing room cum computer room. We have three grown children. Colin who married Karrissa and gave us two grandchildren Joshua and Emily and they live in Newcastle NSW. Michelle who married Rick and also gave us two grandchildren Sam and Amy, they live barely five minutes away. Robert who married divorced and now leads the single life living with hubby's best mate in Melbourne

What do I like to do? I have painted mainly in oils and acrylics for the last 12 years . Firstly flowers and then landscapes and seascapes and currently going through a contemporary stage and back to flowers but more contemporary flowers. I began patchworking I guess about 5 years ago and fell in love with it. I make quilts, bags, dolls teddies and a cows if I could find a pattern.

Well that is about enough to begin with. So until next time Hugz
