First Timer

Hello from not so sunny Queensland, Australia. Not that I will complain about rain...ever!...because we've just been through the worst drought and not calling it over just yet. My name is Narelle and with my hubby, we try and make ends meet on a cattle property.  I'm afraid my sewing mojo also 'dried up' so I'm looking forward to getting back into it in 2015.

This is my first time participating on this SAL blog although I did make 'Tis The Season' the following year it featured. I've always looked on, admired and even purchased a book or two :o) Looking forward to this journey with you all.

So glad you've decided to join, Narelle. And I'm glad it's wet in your part of the world.
