Chookshed Stitchers Christmas Zoom Sewing Day.........

 
What a wonderful day we had on Wednesday catching up with everyone on zoom.........great roll up for the day..........

I think we had 32 people pop in and out during the day..........

These are just a couple of pics i took during the day................

I did a little bit of sewing on my machine but really I talked way to much.........which was great and so needed..........catching up with people........

Here is a pic of some cementing I got done for my christmas present.......may have even had to push wheel barrows of cement or several on Christmas day to get it BUT it is done...........the Chooks are going to be so much happier with this floor in the Chook house...........

OK I'm fluffing today............Mr Chooky mowed yesterday and I put the hoses on............more watering this morning and doing some jobs...........I am now in the Chookshed as it's going to be hot and maybe stormy later today......there's horrible wind out there at present...........zapping the moisture out of everything........me included.....
what's everyone up to.........there was a chance I may have had a visitor arriving today but that's not happening.......maybe tomorrow........and I have more visitors tomorrow so before they arrive I may just be able to sneak in a zoom in the morning (afternoon/evening on the flip side).....They all have long trips to get to me.............I'll see how I go....keep an eye on your emails...........

OMG only a couple of days until we find out what number we are working on for January........are you joining the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge???

Catch you later........

nature as nothing else to report......


While we missed a heavy quick fall to fill the dams we have had some wonderful rain..... Things were beautiful and green......... 
The last few days have been around 40 so things are drying out and starting to go brown..... 
Lots of different fungi have popped up while it was still wet......
Some lovely sunrises and sunsets.....
The wild orange have been flowering....... My favourite bush tree.....
With a few more twists in life and busy days I'll call this my last post before Christmas.......
Who knows when I'll be back but I'm in need of some sewing time......i was supposed to be having a real sewing day with friends today but it all got canned.......
Have a great Christmas.....
I'll be in touch when we can zoom again.......
Time is over due for the Chookshed Stitchers to gather........
Catch you later.......
