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.......

Some pics from the last few days...... Shearing is all done.... Yippee... I have one poddy lamb to raise that didn't mother up..... 

The moon has been stunning the last few days... 

Winter sure is here..... 

Happy sewing girls..... If you want to join in it's not too late just email me or leave a comment here...... 

Stay safe..... 

Catch you later....

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.....

blogger app.....

Just added some pics from mustering yesterday. Shearing is on here. The paddocks are drying off but we still have plenty of feed in most of them..... The pic in my last post was several weeks ago. But I wanted to show how green it's been. 

The cold clouds coming in after lunch.... Cold front hit and then temps have dropped to a very chilly day. 

One of the reasons I haven't blogged is I've had issues trying to get pics to posts..... I found this blogger app. In the Google store I searched blogger for Android. It's been great on my phone too get the pics into posts. The laptop is still better but to do a quick post this is a good send for me. You know it's not a post with out pics...... 

Stay safe and stay warm..... 

Catch you later....

Chookshed Party Plans........

Well friends it has been a quiet and sad weekend. I've tried to do things to distract myself with other things since the Chookshed 8th Birthday party can't happen as usual this year. 

(2018)

My friend Kate who had been here for all but the first sent me some messages yesterday.........shes also missing the fun. 

So as i'm on town work holidays I hope to get things a little more organised & next weekend (which is a long weekend in my part of the world) i'm going to have a real virtual party.........I know over the years many of you have joined in at home and stitched with us where ever you were in the world..........BUT this year i'm going to try & really go virtual........

I'm going to have a zoom sewing day or two..........see how I go............got to work out the time zones... who's awake when.......but I would love you my friends here to join.......if you can't or don't want to join the video link up then you can just sew along as usual & do a post & let me know........but I did a zoom meeting all day for the Covid cancelled Scrub Stitchin' Retreat & it worked really well..........

Some of you have already indicated that you will join me.........

Feel free to use the image above.....

I've even been doing a little hand stitching lately.......I found a layer cake & if I have some background fabric to suit I have designed a quilt........

OK best go & do some more jobs this sunny Sunday.....

Stay safe.....

Catch you later.....
