Okay Summer has given us another great subject for our photos this week - IMPORTANT.

Well there are a lot of things which are important to me - but I've managed to narrow down the list to just a few things which I cannot live without, or at least would feel so so unhappy without them...........

First and foremost - my family.............

My son Tony who is very very special to me. He's my rock and I love him to bits. He's going to be giving me a new daughter-in-law in March, Stevie and she is gorgeous. She'll be a wonderful member of our family..........


My daughter Mandi who is so precious to me. She's gone through so much in her young life, but look at her now - she's come through and I'm so proud of her. She has now got a wonderful husband, Dogan and he is a great asset to our family..........


Then there is my very important companion - Pippin.............


He is very important to me - he's there with me every day - he gives me lots of love and even sleeps quietly next to me..........



My bestest bestest friend in the whole world. Our Mickey, who has been my rock for over 5 years now. We speak every day and I'm going to cheat here and say that he's the most important person to me after my family............



Oh my fire is very important to me - I'd be so so cold without it every winter. It gives me such comfort with it's warm glow........


What would I do without my sewing machine? It's so important to me to have it - how on earth would I manage to make my quilts eh?


My laptop - how would I manage to keep in touch with all my friends without this wonderful piece of equipment? It's so very important to me - to help me be cope with living alone.



My camera is very important to me. I just love taking photos - it's keeping records of all my days and achievements.....................


Finally - this is so so important to have - how would we manage without it eh?
