hello.....

Just busy with work..... Nothing exciting...... 

The new chooks are going great and laying heaps of eggs..... The Guinea fowl babies are almost full size..... 

I've been making some flat bread.... Never done it before but it's so easy,  quick and delicious..... Let me know if you want the recipe..... 

finally we've had some great sunsets and colours.....

Stay safe..... 

Catch you later......

Bridget and some dead machines.....

So while we were virtually sewing I had to keep ducking out to feed my new lamb..... Her name is Bridget.... Here she is..... 

Somehow the discussion got to machines and while I have way to many of various ages I did mention I thought I may have 5 lining a path and another one in another garden spot.....well I under estimated..... In one garden there are 3.....and here they are...... 

The one below still has some timber on the bottom.... 

I'll take some photos on the others soon..... But it's not 5 opps..... 

The sunrise was pretty the other morning..... 

I forgot to add a link to Mia.... She joined us the old way creating at home alone then shared a post on her blog........ You can see her post here.... Thanks Mia.... Hope I have not missed anyone else.....

Stay safe.... 

Catch you later.....

Zoom Virtual Chookshed Party

As requested by the girls here is a list of everyone who popped in..........Hope all the links are correct.........Let me know if not....

I've had the best time. It would have been no fun if you didn't join in with me so thank you to all of you for joining in.........Some longer then others but that does not matter.......I was on from 7am until 10pm with a few quick trips out to feed the lamb.....

Award for the earliest starter goes to Sylvia as she got up and joined us 4am her time. 

Last starter Chris who came in after the family had gone. But it sure made for a nice excuse to go back in this morning and hang out with you and the other girls......

It was an interesting challenge working around the time zones but thank you to everyone I really really do appreciate it.........I got lots done compared to some sewing days..........so inspired by all the different things everyone is working on. 

Goodluck with the Choc Chip Biscuits recipe that I shared. 

Thanks to the girls who had cake and a candle...........Corona Virus sure has changed parts of our lives and it was interesting discussing the different "rules" people are living with around the world..........the virus had made us all try new things and I am not sure why we had not thought of this previously and tried this truly virtual sewing day.........BUT I sure will be doing another one so be brave and join us next time we had a lot of fun and it's just like sitting around a table sewing with friends........ok well not quite as good but pretty close second.......

more party prep......

OK so party plans are progressing............I've got to go dig out some sewing........thinking I will just be hand sewing Saturday........I think I will be inside too not in the chookshed unless I move out there for a bit...........I'll see........need to test some things out but the heating is only good during the day not when it's chilly of a morning and night..........

Below are some of the time zones.....

You should have just got an email from me if I have you in the contact list for the zoom link..........let me know if you didn't get it.........

OR if you would like to join in the fun.............

So what are you planning to sew???

Stay safe.........

Catch you later.......

Chookyblue......

party preps.....

Ok so now the important parts of the party - food prep..... So since it's spread over so many time zones and it's 5o'clock somewhere all day does that mean I can drink champagne and eat nibbles all day? Just saying is that OK?

Anyway what ever you want to eat make sure it's quick and easy to grab. We don't want to waste time preparing food. Or worse organising food for others. Pop the slow cooker on. Tell everyone else in your house to feed you? Worth a try.....but be prepared and don't waste time getting food sorted it cuts out sewing time and this weekend is all about sewing....

Stay safe.... 

Catch you later.....
