Walking the dog

This morning I thought I was going to help DH with the painting, but I got to do the sanding...of the new plaster...phew....what a horrible job!!!! The dust goes everywhere...and I mean everywhere.....

the wall in question...

I left my mark..Lol!!! 

and this mark...woops.....

this afternoon Tupai and I went off for a walk...took the toyvoyagers and decided to do some geocaching at the same time!

we went off along the Edwards Point track...Scoop the toyvoyager leading the way....

love this track, there was an amazing tree along here, it curled around on its self, sadly it has fallen over now...

mmmm...someone is waiting, waiting....heading to the Salt Marsh...

we came out on the beach and walked 300 metres up to find a geocache, then headed back home...

had a little rest on the way back.....three hours walking is quite a lot for us!! But we had a great time...off to peel the veges for a roast now, then maybe some sewing...

Happy sewing. 

Friday Night With Friends

Last night I got sorted and no I didn't wash the floor...lol.....just decided to sew...painting has to happen today so maybe will wash the floors later....you know how paint spots appear by themselves!!!
I did a few things last night...was a good night to sew as the football was on...yep Richmond was playing so I had to hand over the power button!!! Sigh!!! But DH was very happy as they had a win, so all was good!!

some secret sewing was happening...

have basted the hexies for the pincushion and started to join them together...

..have turned all the little circles through...that was a challenge...

and did a little knitting just until the end of the footie!!

Thank you Cheryll for hosting another wonderful FNWF...you can go visit Cheryll's blog to see what other wonderful things were created last night.

Happy sewing. 

FNWF

Another month has rolled by...this year is going so fast!!! But the good thing is that it is time to join up with super host Cheryll and sew up a storm tonight.

 I was hoping to get ahead start this afternoon but I couldn't ignore the fine coating of plaster dust over everything so had to do some cleaning!!
Shane has headed off to stay with his brother in the city now so things are a bit quieter here...the boys had a mussel feast last night...

Yep, I have the camera out again!! Lol!!

Of course we had the usual mussel comments....

balancing mussel on mussel......lol!!!

and in the better light.....

and today had to say goodbye again but hopefully just for a short time

..right I am off to wash the floor and then get to some sewing!!

Happy sewing tonight.

Back home......

Here I am once again back home...I had a lovely visit with the Gisborne Girls, stayed with Tania and caught up on all that has been happening, visited the LQS, I tried not to but what can you do???

I came out without doing too much bank account damage...Lol!!....I found some beautiful Cottage Garden threads to add to my collection and a pack to make a pincushion.....they are hexies...what could I do????

We had dinner (fish and chips) at Margs to celebrate her birthday, this is the beautiful table runner Tracee made for her, isn't it lovely???

Sadly you can't see the stitchery clearly, but this is the wonderful cushion Tania made for Marg, perfect for the sewing room...

..dinner is done, time for photos....

the birthday girl with her balloons...

Later the girls from Wednesday night group came up to Marg's...this is a baby quilt Marina made.....

another Marina creation she is busy binding,,,,,

It is a hard life for small dogs!!! Lol!! Resting on Tania's hexies!

busy fingers....

...and from the other direction....

Marg made this pretty little bird pincushion...isn't it cute??

The today on the way home I went to the Bellarine Quilters sewing day...here is a scrap quilt Linda has made...she does some amazing work...

and another...she had 3 blocks left over from another quilt, so made some extra and has another beautiful quilt...

.....rough weather on the way home...

I decided to cut lots of 5cm circles..in fabric and wadding...

and I made one of these.......nineteen more to go...sigh!! I am hoping they will turn into a Christmas decoration I spied over at this blog.....we will see!!

Some stitching has also been happening

...last night the wonderful Tracee had forgotten to bring something to do...she had come straight from work and is busy, busy...so she did some stitching for me..yay!! I love it when that happens as it has special meaning for me then! Thank you Tracee!!

Phew if you made it here reading thank you!!! This has been a bit of a long one!!

Happy sewing.

Here and there...

It has been one of those weeks so far, doing a bit of this and that!
Last Sunday Shane and I went to investigate the Flying Cider Brick Company...the name sounded interesting...I didn't know that here on the Bellarine Penninsular the Yellow tailed Black cockatoos are known as flying bricks!!! Who would have thought!!!

We had a lot of these at Gisborne, they loved the hakea trees and the seed pods in them....

anyway I digress!!!

We tested the pear cider....sat and chatted for a while...then had to move on as the rain came....has a lovely restaurant inside too by the way....and outdoor fireplace....

love the logo!!

Yesterday Shane & I went geocaching..so he would understand what I am doing when I tell him...we went to Leopold and found the right location but no cache.....mmmm....

I am sure he is thinking "Does she really know what she is doing?" Lol!! We did finally find one...thank goodness...there has to be some reward for walking around in circles and up and down hills in the rain!!!

I have been doing some knitting but no sewing, the machine is packed away until the renovations are finished, maybe in three weeks....not holding my breath!!

Off to visit the Gisborne girls tonight, so I am looking forward to that and then tomorrow it is sewing day with the Bellarine Quilters!!! Lovely couple of days!!!

I am doing my best!! Lol!!

Happy sewing.

A little sewing..

I managed to get the binding finished on the butterfly quilt....

a couple more threads to finish off and it is ready to send to Jewells...

have been for a walk this morning..so lovely to go with Shane

..this was the sight that greeted us when we walked over to the beach.....

Shane contemplating....

..this is the sewing project for today, want to make a good dent in this today....

the Supervisor is settled for the day.....

things can party on with Chooky.

But we have decided to go have a look at the flying brick cider company...love the name!! So that might use up a bit of sewing time this afternoon......ah well..

Happy sewing.

Party weekend

This weekend is the 3rd birthday party for the Chookshed over at Chooky's......

both boys staying for the weekend...we picked Shane up from the airport this morning...he has been  away for 2 years so it is wonderful to have him home again!

Yep, his mother is very happy!!

We even went down to the beach this afternoon Shane was determined to have a swim...he kind of did, but it was very cold!!!

I am trying to get the binding finished on this quilt this weekend!

Happy birthday Chookshed..I hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend.

Happy sewing.
