Nundle report

It all comes and goes too quick!...A bit like Christmas when you were a kid!
You look so forward to something, then in the blink of an eye....its over.
There should be an extra day between Saturday and Sunday!
So Girls day in the Country is over for another year...lots of laughter, friendships, stitching and eating.
It was such a good weekend...Kerry deserves a medal for all her organisation....she should get an OAM at least!
My photos look like everyone else's . but here they are.....

The blogging gang




Some show and tell on the lawn

Block off 15th /16th March with Lynette Anderson as tutor
Thanks to a great bunch of women for an awesome weekend.

showtime

Not my normal stitching!

An elderly friend, who ran the craft stall at our school fete for many years, has gone into a nursing home.
She is now doing a wonderful job of delegating from her bed, as the fete is on in April.
She has given me 2 jobs....sewing buttons on kitchen towels ( just 17)!!
 ...and doing a football logo on a rug she crocheted before she lost the use of her hands....this is for the raffle...so I had better get it right!




Saturday night found me at our local show.
There is nothing like a country show...the colours...the smells of horses, cattle, sheep, chooks, dogs, dagwood dogs, fairy floss, BBQ steaks. ...The noises of side show alley, the rodeo, the dogem cars and screams from the wild rides and my favourite the ferris wheel.









The pavilion filled with show entries of needlecraft, photography, art, cakes, flowers, produce etc. Brings back memories of childhood. 
Bring on the Royal Easter Show....I Love it!

bad hair day chook


On Wednesday, 49 of our weaners..(.thats baby calves...just off their mothers)...went off to market.   Here are the mums standing around the truck saying goodbye....so sad...but then again , I think they are saying thank God they have gone.....I'm sick of breastfeeding!

2 happy working dogs!


Till next time...I'm off to Nundle this weekend..
