Thankyou....

Thanks to everyone who joined in this morning (my time) to celebrate the Chookshed's 9th birthday..... I have friends coming to the Chookshed next weekend so the party started early......
While it was only a short time today 4 hours.........not the record 15hr marathon it was still great to see everyone...........
I think there was 15 to 20 people pop in and out this zoom.........
We welcomed Wendy USA and Willeke from Netherlands as newbies...... Lovely to meet you both since I have followed along with your blogs for years......Willeke I hope I spelt your name correct. And your English was great. I just love learning more about the areas other blog girls live and we chat about all kinds of things when we are zooming.....
I added in a couple of photos from the almost full moon this week......I didn't get photos of the eclipse the next night but it was amazing......
Washing, cleaning and tidying to do before my visits next weekend...... Hardly had visitors except the kids and a few of their friends so it's pretty exciting and a pretty big job. I think you should have visitors fortnightly to keep you on track....... It's like a 'spring clean' in winter....... And I'm in a bit of a throw out mood to so it's even better............
Catch you later.....

Sounds like fun. I am hopeless with Zoom. I also missed the post as I only look at blogs once a week. Nothing like something to motivate a spring clean lol.

Hopefully next time I can join longer......
Enjoy the Party in the Chookshed next week.

Sorry to miss the party, I am sure you will have a great time together this weekend. Happy Birthday to the Chookshed. It is always good to have the motivation and reason to clean up and I have missed the retreats for that reason also.

Thank you for hosting another great zoom party. It really is fun to listen to everyone chatting away while we sew along. And it inspires me to get on and sew....
Lovely to meet new faces too.

It was delightful to visit and laugh together for a couple of hours, Chooky. Thank you for bringing us all together and letting us celebrate with you!

Thanks Chooky and enjoy next weekend. Even though I was up early to catch up for a couple of hours I enjoyed talking and listening to the group.

Thank you for hosting the zoommeeting. I was a bit overwhelmed but enjoyed the party very much. 9th anniversary... congrats to that. That is a long time. To meat quilters from all over the world is so inspiaring. Time flew by.

My name is spelt Willeke. But I will have some spelling euro's to...;)...

Have a wonderful day. Here we enjoy the sun after weeks of rain and cold.
