And no kitchen started. Yesterday one of the builders was here and he completed the shower units, the kitchen might now start on Wednesday, we shall see.
finished floors in the lounge, kitchen dining area, the bath has now moved to the dining room 😀
Shower units are complete, this on in the ensuite, the one in the bathroom looks exactly the same.
Hubby busy painting the window frames in the bathroom.
I joined in Chooky's zoom session on Saturday

I pinched this photo from Chooky I hope that is ok?? You can see the beautiful fabric she was cutting on Saturday, and the lovely zoom ladies. I think Chooky said 30 odd bloggers dropped in and out over the day, was so good to catch up. Thank you very much for organising these days Chooky.
I spent the day sewing Tea and Cake, some of this bottom section where the hexie flowers join onto the row of four hexies. I laid it out Sunday morning and realised I have left out two purple hexies that should be beside the aboriginal fabric hexies. So some unsewing happened and now they are pinned where they need to go. So frustrating getting the little stitches out! I should have realised when the pale green row wasn't straight.
We had a beautiful sunset on the weekend, sadly the camera didn't pick up the amazing colours in the clouds.
I was waiting on labels to come in the mail, as the ones I have are of course packed away. They arrived Friday so now three quilts are ready to be sent to a family in Lismore. Two I have made and one Margaret from Gisborne made and Tracee quilted.
I had better away I am getting cold sitting here in my jammies and dressing gown and I am hungry for breakfast and it is after 10am!! 😃
Happy stitching.
I too, got out of bed around 10ish this morning. My husband made me a second cup of tea and well......more blogs were visited. =) Tea and Cake is pretty. All those hexies = bliss. Hope your kitchen begins tomorrow, Sue.
ReplyDeleteSlow progress is still progress.
ReplyDeleteYour hexie project looks beautiful. I have some tiny un stitching to do too, never fun.
Those lovely finished quilts will be loved.
So exciting to see the progress in your home, though it probably feels very slow on your end of things.
ReplyDeleteIt was good to visit on Chooky's Zoom. Do wish I wasn't so worn out from travel so I could have stayed longer.
If you are like me, you take very tiny stitches when sewing hexes together. They are a pain to remove! That is a beautiful project!
Why don't cameras pick up sunset colors accurately? Sometimes it is frustrating trying to capture a beautiful sight only to have it look washed out--or even sometimes overly colorful (not often, but it has happened to me).
If I don't eat and dress first thing, I can get halfway through my day before realizing what I missed. :)
A bit frustrating having the hold up on your kitchen... hope they get to it soon. lovely sewing and beautiful quilts you are sending off...

Oh its coming together slowly Sue .. it all takes time I know. Love the flooring. Your tea & cake is looking wonderful too Sue ... I have been doing lots of "un-sewing" too it seems. xx
ReplyDeleteSooo frustrating when they dont turn up as promised! Lovely work on your hexies although shame about the unstitching. Nippy here this morning for the end of May and I am wrapped in my fleecy winter dressing gown! xx
ReplyDeleteA little progress with the Reno’s is good. Good work on the hexies too.
ReplyDeleteou always get a lot done. Hope the kitchen is soon there. Stay safe, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe renovation is slowly getting there and will be so worth it when done.
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to join Chooky for our Zoom GTG.
So good to have three quilts ready to send to Lismore.
Fingers crossed it gets strated very soon .. and even sooner FINISHED x
ReplyDeleteThe renovations are coming along - I think you get to a point and think "what have we done" but worth it once completed. It is very annoying having to "reverse" sew....especially tiny weeny hand stitches around hexies.
ReplyDeleteYour home is coming along beautifully. Tea and cake looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe Reno's can't finish soon enough.......... Lovely to see you on zoom......I hate reverse stitching epp....... Well done on the finished quilts......
ReplyDeleteFrustrating waiting for progress by the builders, especially when they say a time and it doesn't happen. Sorry to miss you all on zoom, perhaps next time?
ReplyDeleteSteady progress on your home renovation and with your projects. Beautiful colours too!

You’ve done well to get any stitching done, considering the disruptions at home. You won’t know yourselves once it’s completed.
ReplyDeleteAt least some progress is being made with your renos and hubby is doing his bit. Ooops re the reverse sewing. Hope your wounds have healed from those killer knitting needles. Loving your hexies.Keep warm.
ReplyDeleteSue - ah, the joys of construction (not)! I have pondered a craft gathering via Zoom - maybe it's time to stop pondering and get on with it!
ReplyDeleteI hope the reno is now further on the way
