Cows.....

Its always sad when you drive into a paddock and the cows come running.......

it means they are hungry..........

a new baby..........

they come running following the ute........

chasing the bale of hay....

there is a slight hint of green but it is only a few mms long...........nothing for the cows to get hold of..........and no rain forecast to help it along so it is dying now.........

some stragglers........

Mr Chooky had dumped me to go get some others at the other end of the paddock...........I wanted to take pics.......they all stopped confused..........

then they saw /heard the ute again and off they went............

finally they got what they wanted............

poor Mumma isn't doing so well............the biggest feed/energy requirements for cattle are late in the pregnancy and the first 3 months with a calf............

cute or what..........

hang on Mum I want some milk......

splat.......

Catch you later...............

Sewing.......

Last Sat was another sewing day with friends.........

Nundle last year...............Sue worked on this quilt...........just attached the binding...now to sew it down............

Janice also got some binding on a quilt............. sorry I missed getting a photo of her quilt..........

I've got all my blocks done and started joining rows............just getting a little piece of yellow to make another yellow block for the top left corner...........

Take two on my tincy pincushion.........and I succeeded.........next to the reject of last week......much better to iron as you go with this tincy sucker and also to cut the pieces a little wider then the instructions said.......

When I looked at the second picture with this pattern it is a cushion in a dolls house.......2 1/4" finished

Janice even had a go.......we just need to stuff and stitch opening closed........

Its been a busy time with visitors.....kids friends staying too........

now another mountain of sheets and towels to wash.........at least its been windy and I have water..........

I thought it was all going pear shaped Friday afternoon when I spent a few hours at the hospital with Boy Wonder and an eye injury but luck was on his side....... and things were not as bad as they could have been.........

Hope you have enjoyed a great weekend..........

Catch you later.....

Chookshed Party...........part 2...........

the autumn colour is gorgeous on my Chinese Tallowwood..........
the days were glorious and the nights pretty chilly............

thank you girls for joining me to celebrate the Chooksheds 5th birthday......... I think 7 would have to be the max number in the chookshed..........

Diddles picked up her new turtle family from Sonia..........

I always say quilting is an addiction...........and it sure is when your opening dodgy little foil packages.............

but look what appeared...........

Sonia worked on hand stitching all her flowers down.........

progress on my quilt...........

stacks in progress..........

Progress of one of Lea's hand piecing projects............

Diddles working on Dancing Chickens and Flying Pigs.........Kate also worked on the same BOM............

Lea had show and tell.........it's gorgeous.......

Girls busy stitching.........

don't bump that tray on the chair or the whales will be a disaster...........

I am making my quilt from this book............

I saw Debs quilt at GDITC show and tell.......I knew  I wanted to make one.......

the book arrived last Friday...........

slowly getting there..........I think it needs another block of yellow...........

And I still have a few to move around by the looks of this pic..........

in the end I just shoved the unfinished block up to get an idea of how it  was going.............

Sadly all to quickly everyone was gone and the weekend was over..............
thanks to everyone who joined in virtually....
blogland is the best and i'll be hanging out here for many years to come yet
I've been getting around the blog commenting and i hope I have not missed anyone............
thankyou for helping celebrate......its nice to know we are sewing together in our own little spots on the planet..........linked with needle and thread..........
Catch you later.......
