snapping away...........

I feel like I have every other blue DMC thread except 930..........will have to get some in town tomorrow....................do you think 3 skeins will do to stitch all the stitcheries in the Gardener Journal??????

went out with my camera to snap a spider's web for Lisa...........and then I went past my carob tree which is flowering at the moment...........gosh they stink when flowering........but they are alive with bees.....and I found some flies and other bugs too...........will post some more photos on Snappy Friends in the next day or so also the spiders webs too........."machinery" is the photo challenge this week

then Mr Chookyblue had been out moving some sheep and he and Fairy Girl found some lillies in one of the gilgi's..........(shallow water hole) anyway I was snapping away......I walked into the water cause I had my thongs on and just changed lens to get a bit close and bugger me I felt a little something on my leg..........my camera assistant had already reminded me that I didn't have to worry about croc's (how sweet is he.........nearest crocodile is 1000's of miles away) anyway i calmly turned around cause I had the camera and didn't want to fall over in the water then SCREAMED at Mr Chooky to get the darn LEECH off my leg NOW!!!!!!! He laugh but pulled it off and threw it away before I could think to get a photo............sorry but I really didn't want to leave it hanging there on my ankle longer then needed..........I am such a sook....and it was HUGE.........

the sky was pretty again today..........

Leanne I managed to snap the moon again (quite by accident - didn't see it in the pic until i put it on the computer) slighty to the left of middle (a tiny mark).....wispy clouds - love them.............

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

stitching frenzy......

I started this book last year while waiting for a plane at the airport.........reading bits here and there..........but last week we had no power one dreary morning and it was too dull to stitch so I got back into the book and finished it.......I cannot imagine living anything like this...........some people sure have some weird ideas.......is there anywhere in the world where one woman has many husbands and they just do as they are told????

I order Di Morissey's The Silent Country - Sunrise (morning show here in OZ) has started a book club and this is one of the books of the month..........also since the $$$ is so good I ordered some Elm Creek books.......can't remember who it was but one of the Aussie girls has got stuck into them and I have read one or two awhile ago and enjoyed them so hope they will be here soon..........

&&&&&

have been busy tracing off stitcheries........

totally stuffed up the lawn mower as the pen I used faded a bit and I thought I had free drawn it right but obviously not and I undid the right hand wheel and all the middle I had stitched and will wash it and retrace that part again..........

ran out of thread this morning but I may have another one of these DMC threads floating around otherwise an essential shopping list item this week........

see progress is being made

even working on this stitchery that should have been finished ages ago..........I keep swapping what i am stitching.....

Just call me Peg........i am feeling as productive as she is at the moment with my stitching...........so what has changed........well time has gone back to normal and it is dark early now........also with it cooling off I just don't have the bugs i get in the warmer weather hanging around my lights annoying and biting me etc.........usually I can't/don't stitch much in summer of an evening........

also we have had school holidays and no bus runs to do etc.........this all heaps with extra bits of time........it is amazing what you get done with a thread here and there..........please remind me of this statement when I fall off the stitching wagon - Fairy girl is even in the stitching mode too..........

last day of school holidays tomorrow.....we have had a lovely time..........

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