My day......

Mustering like the pied piper..... Have hay cows will follow..... 

The sky kept changing but was so pretty...... 

Not good......Getting the water tested...... Looks like green cordial in a bottle ...... 

Mustering ..... 

Bye big babies........

setting up the yards is like a giant mechano set.........some panels I can carry no worries.... Some only just..... 

This poor girl has twins .... 

Left these in the paddock....... They didn't need the walk to the yards......... 

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

Cattle work......

Or should I say yard work as we loaded all the panels here and built some portable yards at the other property........ We had to move these cows out of the paddock as they thought the truck had hay on it for them not yards panels....... One was caught up in some wire..... Not good.... But I managed to get her out...... 

Today mustering, weaning and sadly selling some..... To many mouths to feed and it won't rain....... More will need to go in a few weeks to...... 

I hope your sewing cause I sure won't be...... Can I say finally the temps have dropped and it is beautiful......

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

Art and ikea.........

Recently we went up to the Commonwealth Games...........more on that soon...........the first day I didn't have a ticket for the event Mr Chooky and Fairy Girl went too so I found a way to fill in my time............

I had seen Michelle's post about her groups art exhibition.............I was so excited when I worked out it would still be on later in the month when I was up there.........so I emailed Michelle and even better she was on volunteer duty that day...........So exciting to see the exhibition it is one of the kinds of art I like........

and it was great to see Michelle........here she is with her lion.........

loved the birds she had in too but I missed get a pic of them........

i have followed her art journey for awhile now.........she even has a blog just for her art now........Nature of Art......check it out...........

Another morning we had a few hours to spare and Ikea was close by......having never been there my friends I was staying with said well lets all go..........so we did.........I'm dreaming of the chairs above.............but they don't do delivery to my place.......not even anywhere close (as in a few hrs)...........Might have to go back and get them..........but its a very LONG trip...........

 

And for years I have seen these tray trolleys and finally I have my own now....I got the dark blue...........even managed to put my first piece of Ikea furniture together.........

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

Sunday farewells @ Scrub Stitchin'

You're probably sick of Scrub Stitchin' but I had the best fun.............and all these memories will end up in my blog book......I have so many pics I might even make one of those photo books...........sadly we are finally at the end.........

Sunday morning some of the girls had to leave early...........

so we just condensed down a bit..........

A little pincushion I made as part of my swap present............

This is tiny and Fairy Girl made it for me..........those triangles are tiny..........

We also did block lotto..........make two 12.5in blocks...........

a creamy classic and the other white and bright.........

We all shared our blocks and separated them into each colourway.......

the winner of block lotto was to choose which one they wanted to keep and the other one would get made up for charity........Miss Jules won and she donated hers to charity too..........more about them later once they are finished............

Lots of the girl started working on the Scrub Stitchin' Bucket Tote over the weekend...........but three of the girls finished theirs.........since the Commonwealth games were on we did a podium presentation..............

Gold to Kate, Silver to Jewells and Bronze to Deb..........I think the look on Kates face may have been when she found out there was no gold medal............LOL..........

Lots of farewells.........not so sad as we have booked in for 2019 already.....dates are set..............most of the girls have booked in again.........we have a few spots spare but I am sure we will fill them before next year.......

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

Smiling faces @ Scrub Stitchin'

This is why I organised scrub stitchin'..........nothing more to say......just look at their faces..........priceless.............and I get to hang out with all these girls......

Happy stitchers everywhere............

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

What did everyone work on @ Scrub Stitchin'
