Beautiful Day!

Wow..what a glorious day!

Do I paint?


I'd love to be in the garden....


Or sit in the garden and stitch...



But unfortunately I have to finish the painting...dam it!
Just thought I'd do a quick post while I waited for the walls to dry and the sun to move off the window so I could do its final coat.

At least I finished this last night...


It's my SAL project for April....Natalie Bird's, Bon Noel wallhanging from her Tis the Season book.
I'm loving being a part of SAL as it motivates me to finish something each month....thanks to Chookyblue for her organization ...she's such a lovely 'ol chook!

IF I finish the painting ....maybe I can stitch.....have to get my 9 patch blocks finished or I might get some eggs thrown at me!!

Well..back to it!
I hope your enjoying your day
Cheers

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!

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..
