Last updated ... eek - too long ago! ... now it is October 2000 and this page is still an extremely scruffy mess!
(funny - in March I said I was going to have to hurry up and fix this whole page up properly and get it looking like the great site I want it to be, instead of the total MESS that it is! because the URL to part of this site is in print! - my scribbled up "rough as ..." idea for a "sig scquilt" is mentioned, along with the link to it, in DOWN UNDER QUILTS magazine!
... and I still have not done it yet!
Oh no! I have been spending too long getting lost in cyberspace, and some fabric and a quilty UFO are chasing the mouse pointer around this page!!!
... unless u don't have JAVA working on your browser (in which case - sorry, u won't see them :-)
You also won't see them if I have taken them off already ... I plan to keep them somewhere on my website, just not on the index page.
I hope, sometime soon, to totally re-do this web page, using some of the good ideas that I have seen around the place (some of which I now know how to do, and others that I have to find out, and one that I have just done!), and then maybe this will be a half decent web site, with pages organised into subjects and stuff, rather than the mess it is at the moment! ... guess it depends if the fabric and half done quilt catch me! ... or if the half unpacked boxes start chasing me too!
... I first said that in March ... and I am still only just thinking about starting ..... but ..... the half done quilt has just been finished! Yes, that pinkish "thing" chasing the cursor with the fabric is part of a photo of a quilt top, and I have just turned that top into a finished quilt. The boxes are still not all unpacked though (well .. we have only been here a year!) ... and the only time I have even been to this page myself is to look up one or other of the URL's I know I have on here as links ...
by the way ... hope u don't mind the music ... that this page probably is not playing any more - because I am just about to remove it ... I might put it somewhere else on my website, but not on my main page - takes too long to load. (and was not to everyone's taste anyway :-)
NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW
... well - I have so many other adds/links to peoples adds - I figured I may as well put my own here too
This picture is actually an image of gaseous pillars in the Eagle Nebula, M16. It was Taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, on April 1st (!) 1995 .
The image is courtesy of the Space Telescope Science Institute (ST Sci),
operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy
(AURA), Inc., for NASA., and NASA.
I drew in the fuzzy bit at the top right hand corner (because it had nothing
there, just black squares - the image is actually made up of several smaller
ones, and there were a couple missing in the corner).
Hi I'm Andrea.
This page is very much "under construction" (and probably always will be)
And if you want to see a bigger (but not better?!) photo of me,
HERE is one that I got someone to take of me, at work.
I originaly signed up with Geocities, and created this page on 08/26/98 08:31:52, but I still have not finished it yet. Wonder if I ever will?
My interests are:
Eventually I will add some more pages to this website, I have plans to include some stuff about my family (Husband, 2 kids, 2 cats), and some of my craft projects (when/if I can get some pictures ... er - not sure 'get' is the right word now ... should really say "when I finally get around to taking some more pictures of them to put here" - lol), and a few of the poems that I have written (there are a couple on my "other" page, I will add more when I get around to typing them up). And maybe even some links, or something, to do with science, now that I am working as a science assistant at a high school.
And here is my CHAT ROOM!!!
Are you sick of the sugary sweet, cutsie pie "Sunbonnet Sue" quilt blocks? Well, just for those who are (there has been much discussion of this on the Patchwork/Quilting mailing list I am on, recently ... well, a while ago now - but it was "recently" when I drew the thing and put this link here)... I have created an ALTERNATIVE ...
Click on this link and find out WHO?
I still have my own free e-mail greeting card site, it still has only the cards they gave me, but one day I will add some of my own (when I work out how to make it let me log in and add them!)
And .......
Links to other sites on the Web
I put my banner thingy down here, instead of right up at the top, because sometimes the colour of the banner clashes horribly with the stuff on the top of the page (I guess I don't mind having this little bit of "junk mail" on my page - after all they do give us the space for free ;-)
Some time soon after I first created this mess that passes for a web page, I put this counter here to see if anyone looks at it ...
Want to tell me who u are, or what u think of my page? © 1997 aykayem@reocities.com
... not so new any more ... but I left it here for now (later on it is going on another page, along with all the other links and junk about free stuff and earning money on the www and stuff)
I get paid to surf the web!
( I am just waiting to see if I get sent my first
payment at the end of the month, now that I have "earned" $20 ... I got it :-) ... now one day, when this computer decides it likes it (works fine on our other one), I might use it enough to earn some more money)
Find out how at http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=CXN667
(and if they ask, tell them CXN-667 sent you
or, another one I just found out about (it is a new one) u will also be able to get paid to listen to the radio on the www
u can try it out - they have a pile of "radio stations" that work - some are quite ... interesting ;-) - but the "get paid" bit does not start until April)
To sign up or just look - go to http://www.radiofreecash.com/home.asp?ref=aykayem
I wonder if it started yet? (it hadn't when I last looked ... in April :-)

Craft, Patchwork quilting (and I seem to talk about this even more than doing it - $%**#@ mailing lists!), Crochet,4 wheel driving, messing about in boats - not that I get to do much of that here in Canberra ;-(, and anything else involving "the great outdoors" - especially if it also involves being near or, preferably in/on the sea (we used to have a boat or 2, but we don't live close to the sea anymore, grrrrr). I am also interested in anything else that takes my fancy at the time...
But who knows what else will eventually end up here.
Please come back soon and visit me.
No it is not!!! - I moved it down to the bottom of the page - so those who don't/can't see java script can still see the rest of the page!!!
... another one to go on another page with all the other useless junk?
I got the chat room from here (and you can get one too) ...
This is my design for a Quilt that can be made from sig scquares, and the bits of (used to be blue, then yellow, now I think they have changed to yellow and blue) fabric that come with them. Warning - I have not actually made this "quilt", so who knows if it actually works!
The above link is the one I am now "famous" for!!! - it, and my name, appear in the March issue of Down Under Quilts magazine!!!
This is a design I drew (or should that be 'scribbled') up for a patchwork quilted vest.
... come and visit ...
Aykayem's e-Cards!!!
My kids have web pages (made by Mum ;-) and therefore updated even less often than this one!)
my ICQ page.(warning, it is a bit boring! - but icq is NOT!!! ... even my MUM has icq now!)
Believe it or not, I am getting paid to surf the web! - even while I am here adding this link to my web page (vbg). If you want to know how, click
Here to find out, and if they ask - tell them that CXN-667 sent you.
Southern Cross Quilters - An ... no, THE! ... Australian/New Zealand online quilt guild.
Do DUCK in to this site ;-)
Find out where/when you can have a look at the space station, MIR - no telescope/etc needed.
Find out where/when you can have a look at the International Space Station too. (also quite visible with the naked eye)
Where do I go to look up my stars? - the Act Skywatch site, of course! (try this if the above two links are dead ... this should have current links to the same info)
Crochet Musings web site (with mailing list ... one of the few I am not even on anymore - LOL)
My OTHER silly home page (poetry/etc) - This is the one that I could not get in to work on/delete and they never answered my "help" e-mail! Guess what? - I typed that here the other night, sent another 'help' e-mail and I got an answer!!! (they had removed the spaces from my ID when their site changed it's look/etc, and had not told me!) So now it has sort of been updated too
Or if that does not work any more try This link instead - when I finished editing the page, they told me this was my "new" URL Aaaaarrrgggghhh
I had a spare "white ball", and decided to leave it here, to remind myself that I need to find a few more good links to put on my page!
or why not listen to this MOOSIC (the first song is one of my favourites)
I am not sure if that link still works properly, but it may still get you to the website - where u can find the song yourself (it is called "Cows With Guns)
Hey - some people actually do look here! (but I don't know if they ever come back - I think they only come for the link to the photos - LOL)
people have been here since I found out where to get this counter (since 31st of August 1998).

Not that u are very likely to ever find me in it, I can't even remember if I ever got myself a "handle", I think I did - if so, it was aykayem (If I chat, I usually use ICQ
