He Put A Ring On It!
Yes, I'm engaged!!! Today, two weeks ago, at 46 years of age, I became engaged for the first time in my life. I have finally found the man I'm going to marry. We've been going out for nearly three years and I knew an engagement was coming, but I didn't know when. So it was a surprise when the question was actually asked.
My now fiance, took me away for the weekend to Daylesford in country Victoria. We stayed at a very nice hotel overnight then went to a lovely restaurant for a Sunday lunch. This is where the proposal took place. One the grounds, near a lake, at a place called The Lake House Restaurant. A French inspired restaurant which is absolutely beautiful. Furnishings, atmosphere, and setting, all made it exquisite. I would have to say it is the most gorgeous and one of the loveliest restaurants I have ever been to. Having a special occasion to celebrate perhaps made it even more so, but it was still such a special place to be taken to.

We had French champagne to start our lunch off (and to celebrate our engagement), an entree of assorted meats, then a delicious main meal which included kangaroo. Soft cushions to rest against for the ladies when you sat down, were supplied. The very best service I have come across in a restaurant, and just a delight to experience.
We don't plan to marry for a couple of years and are still tossing over ideas for the wedding. It won't be a large nor formal occasion. Something more intimate and meaningful for both of us. No date as yet either.
My stitching is still on hiatus but when I have more spare time in the future, I will pick that needle up again and put thread to fabric.
Just wanted to keep any of my followers who are still hanging in there and following my blog, up to date with what's happening in my life. It's nice to share some good news I think. Lots of happiness to all my readers, and thank you for dropping by.

I'm Still Here!
Hi all, just thought I'd touch base to let you know that I am still alive and well. My life is still quite busy and unfortunately no stitching is getting done. I haven't even purchased any needlework for a very long time.
My love life is blossoming though and have been with my boyfriend for over two years now. He's amazing and such a wonderful person.
Since I don't have any stitching to show, I thought I would show you my adorable cats. They are both well and are great company for each other.

I'm not sure when I will post again but I wish everyone lots of happiness and good health. One day I will get back to my stitching and I plan to share my journey with you all again. Til then, please enjoy your own stitching and sharing it amongst one another.
The happiest of stitching to all!
