The Buick

I have been sooo looking forward to this cars arrival in the country. Isn't it too cool! I know I know this is a sewing blog but I'll get to that in a minute. This car is what my busy Husband went over to the USA to bring back for next years Beach hop. It will be all painted up and looking shiny and new ready to give away in March next year. Oh and in case your not like my husband and know every car's make and model on sight, it's a 'Buick', to be specific a '1963 Buick Le Sabre station wagon'. I can just imagine it with a couple of surfboards on the roof.

Now the other reason I was looking forward to the 'Buick' arriving was because it contained these books!!!! Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross AND Seams to me by Anna Maria Horner

......and these magazines plus a pad of Amy Butler double sided scrapbooking paper. Didn't he do well! The books are beautiful and full of beautiful projects I want to start NOW. They are also a great source of basic sewing info that I'm sure will come in useful not only to myself but as my daughters begin to sew more and more.

Another car photo I know but just wanted to show you what our small cul de sac looked like for a couple of hours this morning. Because of the huge earthquakes that occurred in Samoa this morning we were on high Tsunami alert this morning. We are lucky to be living high on a hill so are quite safe ourselves, it just means everybody else comes up here as well. I'm glad it was school holidays as our street is also where the area school evacuates to, although not our girls as they go to a little country school 10 minutes north of our town. The tsunami was eventually cancelled but other tsunami's are actually happening now all around the pacific islands and creating chaos.
