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.

FNWF + Chookshed party

Here we are Sunday morning already...this weekend certainly is flying by.

I joined in with Friday night with friends and sewed the two centres of Old Time Kaleidoscope blocks together

You can see the other Friday nighter's projects over at Cheryl's.

Yesterday I joined in with the 8th Chookshed party hosted by Chookyblue

Last year Raewyn and I had a special visit the Chookshed after we had been at Baradine

This year because of the virus Chooky couldn't have her usual gathering on site so instead invited us virtually. Chooky set up a Zoom meeting which started at 7 am my time, now I have to say I have not seen much of 7 am for the last few months and have definitely not been up and functioning by 7 am!! I was a little late to the start but had a wonderful day, met some new to me bloggers and got to chat and listen along with ladies from from Belgium, France, the US, Canada, New Zealand, Germany and Australia.

People came and went thru the day depending on what they had one and their time zone

Sylvia in the yellow highlighted square was up, dressed, had her show and coffee and the kitchen cleaned by 4am and joined in!! How is that for dedication. Sylvia lives in Germany.

Janice and her hubby Mick made a birthday cake and lit the sparkler!  Photo top row, second from right.

I spent the day sewing hearts into rows, four rows are together, then I joined another three rows of hears together, then my hands said enough! I had a break to have dinner then went back to the party

and traced cut and glued the epp pieces for the Old Time Kaleidoscope blocks

I have these three to do and then go onto the side pieces. The tricky fussy cutting is next to be done, when I have a clear head!

Today we have #2 son and his girlfriend visiting, so I need to do some house work, we were planning a BBQ lunch but so far the weather has not been good, it is cold and wet!!

Have a wonderful day and happy stitching.
