Australia.........

 

Australia is an amazing country..............

landscape constantly changing............

surprise late night treats with reflective signs................

stunning sunrises............

wide open plains.............

interesting buildings.............unusual verandah roof there...........

not the normal bullnose as of old buildings.............and interesting timber work............

one train and given lots of road closures barely any traffic............

2600km and lucky to see 150-200 vehicles in the whole trip on the road............

Lots of water in the NT................

Great season for most of the trip...........

Will I want to go home??????....we so need rain..........

stunning photo opportunities..............

lots of water............

maybe 15kms in this stretch.............

this flock of birds kept taking off and landing in front of the car..............

Link to a little video I took........link here watch til the end and you can see fish swimming across the road.............

Not sure if this highway will be open when I head home.........where I took the video is under escort so you drive in the right spots but it is breaking up really bad and is like a slalom course winding around them............

OK best go............

take care.........

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

Chookyblue...........

 

me time.........

 We all have busy patches we go through in out life........ It's a balancing act we all play.......  

So it's been important to take me time........

Mr Chooky ended up being away so it was even easy to play in the Chookshed all day.......

I got a new ruler last month so I wanted to give it a go........ Dug out a jelly roll from the stash......... Found some yardage.......

Love the look with this..... I'm losing a bit of the Zig zag effect for a patch but I'm sticking with this..........I wanted a colour wash effect.........

I've just ordered 20 of these rulers........ Most are for the Scrub Stitchin' girls.......

We had a great big day.........

I think 35 people thru the screen on the day.......

I had a few stats......

From April last year till now I've hosted 24 zooms........

Lou had attended the most although not all of them.......

AVG number attending 11

Highest 35

Lowest 7

So no matter how long or short the session

No matter what time of the day you would be surprised what time some have jumped in....... Even if it's the middle of the night......

So I'll just keep doing what I'm doing...... It seems to be working well.......

Catch you later.......

Chookyblue......

PS I'll check who had the best guess in number of zooms and find something to send out to them........

Chookshed Stitchers zoom quilting day.........

I don't care if it is International or National and if it's national which nation..... I'm thinking USA but I am celebrating Quilting Day this Saturday 16th March...........

I'll probably start at 6am my time AEDT Saturday morning......

Friday afternoon or evening for those in the northern hemisphere...... 

The Chookshed Stitchers will be meeting online...............

So if you have not been on for awhile set some time aside....... If you're new be brave and join us....... We aren't exclusive....... 

Clearly no sewing has being happening.........

But I do have a few pics here to share......

For now you just get to enjoy some of my scenery..............completely not quilt related but its still a patchwork of colour in my life........

Working with the brown/blue pallet....... The waters been a bit missing to change it to green/ blue colours.........

Few more pretty hot days 38C then hopefully the temps should drop a bit to the low 30's...... Gosh Sat might even be in the 20's which will be lovely......... Now that might actually feel like autumn........

Hopefully see you Saturday........

Could be a long day at this stage.......

Chookyblue..........

PS on Saturday give us a sewing tip..... A tip that helps you when sewing...... Could be super simple.......

Like the mark on your sewing foot that we learnt about recently................

I never knew about it...... Lol
