A Cute Little House ....... SKoW

With the looming deadline for the SAL fast approaching and a weekend of study, I've spent the past few evenings putting this cute little house together. 

Today was a beautiful day here in our region and what I wanted to do was get out into my poor neglected garden but instead I spent the day inside a classroom gazing occasionally out the window. I think watching paint dry would have been more exciting than the subject we looked at today. Oh well, lets hope the teacher can put a little life into it tomorrow.  

When I got home today, Chicka had picked this beautiful Daffodil flower for me.

Such a sweet thing to do, Thank you my girl - I love you xoxox 

   

I hope you found some time do to something you love this weekend!

Until Next Time - Happy Stitching xox

SKoW & TTS Progress

It was a very cold winters weekend here so after watching Chicka play netball we all headed home to some sweet potato soup that I had simmering in the pot while we were out ........Yummy

 Everyone wandered off to do their own thing including me.

SKoW..... Our Cat - Milo

and a wooden chair

Sunday was spent on the side of the soccer field at Bathurst. Unfortunately The Home Patch wasn't open, so I couldn't sneak away for a little retail therapy - lucky I had packed a little project from home. 

TTS ....... ooopppps a sideways Penguin (may block)

Bon Noel (April Block)

 Monday night was spent at my machine, first the boarders and then my first row all together!

 

It's so good having a few spare hours to spend sewing.

Checking in.......& SKoW progress!

Life for my over the past 4 to 5 months has been quite hectic (like everyone else - I know.......... 

Where have I been ????

Well............... unfortunately the child care industry has undergone some major changes and I've had to upgrade my qualifications. So I have been doing assignment after assignment*sigh*

Last weekend I must have known that Chooky was looking for her whip.......

beacuse I managed to do 3 more blocks for my SKoW. Its amazing what you can get done when you have a day at home and no assignments due!  

I think I only have 4 blocks left to do, so hopefully with no assignments to do this weekend I can get a few more done to meet the deadline.

Coin Purse

I started stitching this little purse at Nundle on our first night there. We were all a little excited and no one wanted to go to bed early.

I think there a rule - that you can't go to bed before midnight, when you are having a sleep over LoL

I had most of the stitchery finished before we left, I just needed to finish off the centre this week before putting it together. 

 Opps, should have given it an iron first before taking the picture....

As i was attaching the zipper to the linen I realised I hadn't finished the flowers on the shoes - I nearly didn't fix it, but I'm so glad I did it looks so much better!

I'm really happy with how it turned out - not bad for a first attempt at putting in a zipper!

More TTS Progress..

With the children on school holidays, it's amazing how quickly I manage to get my jobs done once I get home from work.. No running sporty here and Chicka there and back again. 

So with all that spare time I have managed to sit and get a few blocks done for my TTS quilt 

The wreath with boarders 1 and 2

 

Santa's boots with boarders 1and 2

Harry Potter....

We are huge Harry Potter fans in this house, so before the exhibition finished at the Powerhouse Museum on the

9th April we headed to Sydney.

We left home early to our first fog of the year........ means winter is on its way brrrrr

We had a family picture before heading in - how exciting!
It looks like we are in the great hall.

Unfortunately you were not allowed to take photo's inside the exhibition, but I did manage to get a quick picture just as we were leaving the souvenir store.
(Sporty was soooo embarrassed - but that's what mums are for LoL)  

The exhibition was fantastic! I was amazed to see so much detail in all the wands and the dress robes worn by some of the main characters - the movies really don't do them justice.

We spent a couple of hours wandering around and looking at all the items. On our way out the night bus turned up ..... Chicka was ready to go for a spin!

Until Next Time - Happy Stitching xox

My adventures with Peg and Dale

After meeting Peg and Dale at the pub for lunch and having a quick chat at nibbles on the lawn, I was lucky enough to spend a little more time with them as we walked to the restaurant for dinner.

First the girls wanted to stop off at the local park for some fun......

The race was on ............ Ready, Set ...........

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the winner is Peg....................

I think the girls were a little hungry ....... Do you think we should have a BBQ tonight or go out???

I don't think we have time for a swim before dinner girls............

Mmmmmmm........Dinner

The girls found time to fit in a bit of sewing after dinner........................



before finding a place to roost for the night...............

I had such a great time getting to know you lovely chickens, hopefully it will be in person really soon!
