This and that

 Not a lot of sewing has been happening here as my sewing room is packed up. The flooring man has been here since Tuesday and has been working like a mad man and the flooring is getting done.

sewing room before the flooring, this room caused a few blue words as apparently it is not square!!

main room with new sheeting laid and levelled,

first few vinyl planks down.

both ensuite and bathroom have been levelled again, plus we have a little ramp between ensuite and walk in robe as one floor was higher than the other.

Thursday evening, half of main floor done, kitchen and pantry done

sewing room and hallway to back door done,

and the spare bedroom done. Fingers crossed it will be completed today and then the builder can come Monday and start putting the kitchen in.

I bought this lovely wool when we were up in Gisborne, so have been knitting in the evenings. Did you know knitting can be a dangerous activity?? Last Sunday I was rushing out the door, my canvas knitting bag caught in the door jamb and knitting needles went through the bag, through my jeans and into my leg! I had to pull the needles out, one went in about an inch. There wasn't much bleeding just me in minor shock. Monday I went to the Dr had a tetanus jab and was given antibiotics, the punctures are healing well - I will be a lot more careful in future!! Lesson learned 😊

I am working my way through a pile of books from the library, this is the current read and I am enjoying it, past and present in a small Australian town that had Chinese gold miners. 
Tomorrow is the 10th birthday of Chooky's Chookshed so a zoom will be happening, I shall ready some hexies and join in with the celebrations. Might see you there?
Happy stitching.

  1. Sue - glad to see the construction project is coming along nicely. Ouch - that knitting needle injury sounds awful, especially the notion of pulling them OUT! Glad it was not more serious.

  2. Seriously??? I've stuck myself with all sorts of sewing needles, but a knitting needle. Glad the damage isn't too bad.

  3. Its all looking so wonderful Sue ... love the new flooring you are putting down. Just think how much fun it will be to put everything back - I love that part. Wish I was there to help you. That is a nasty knitting needle accident. I was angry with The Mr today & I opened his Ute door & flung the bag of walnuts in that I had gathered for him ... & went to slam the door & forgot to remove my leg & very nearly took my kneecap off. Did you hear the blue words from your place ???!!!! I am hobbling around feeling sorry for myself & no=one else is giving me any sympathy, not even Miss Pip. 😉😣
