a baby quilt

Well I showed you some blocks and chenille and that was going to be one of my projects while away.............while grabbing things out I found these blocks left over from another quilt and after a quick late night shopping phone call and pics emailed to Kerry she slipped back into the shop and grabbed me some cream chenille and a border fabrics to put this quilt together..........

Supposed to be a babies quilt but it has turned out a bit bigger anyway it means it will last a lot longer........

Dale has very kindly taken it home to quilt for me........thanks so much.........

A busy day today loading and unloading pavers that Mr Chookyblue picked up at a clearing sale for a bargain.......it has been quite awhile since he brought home something very useful.........

.....then out to lunch for a friends birthday.....

 so a mixed day but I still have have a warm fuzzy feeling from my weekend with such wonderful people............thanks Cardygirl, Miss E, Kerry, Peg, Dale, Miss N and Miss Jules, Tooth Fairy.............Fairy Girl also got to go for part of the weekend and she was SOOOOOOO excited and had a ball..........she did some sewing too so will show you that shortly............

I need a detox from food...........we ate so much.............breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, nibbles, main and dessert...........late night chocolate...............OMG seriously excess of delicious food..........

cold wet dreary day...............

I know many of you girls I visit in blogland get plenty of days like this and lots colder and wetter but in my part of Australia we get very few days that are lucky to make it to 13deg cel maximum............with the breeze it is a few degrees cooler..............not a lot of rain just fine misty stuff all day................guess it is preparing us for winter which starts tomorrow............a perfect day to stay in doors with the fire burning keeping us  warm...............

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

PS for those in Oz Eurovision in on SBS again tonight 7.30pm if you missed it last night........lol......

Chilling out with Eurovision...........

Can anyone tell me how the goodness this show works........lol......

there isn't much to watch on TV so I am watching Eurovision............saw a little last night............

I have no idea how it all works and it is always a bit odd...............guess it would help to be European..........lol........

But what was it with those glitter hot pants on the first boy group - Lithuania???? 

Another lady would win it on her cleavage.........my favourite so far is Denmark...........loved the song the couple sang............

But our Aussie host is just back stage chatting to some of the contestants and it is so funny.........

off to listen to Sweden........

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........

illusions...........

when things play tricks on you............this looks like there is a rise in the distance and the tree line is on a ridge.............not true...........it is a flat plain...........it is only bright and early in the morning you see this...........

no good news to report here so back in awhile..............give your little treasures extra hugs.........

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

sheep and weekends shouldn't go together......

toooo many weekends lately we have been doing sheep stuff..........just couldn't do it any other way........this was a photo i snapped this morning - crisp, bright and early............my poor body was aching this afternoon.............even managed to tackle a sheep that jumped out of the race here...........thank goodness there weren't any videos around as it would have suited funniest home videos..........lol.........and wasn't terrible elegant............ I would have taken more photos I just didn't have time to stop and take them.......

if anyone so much as mentions the word "sheep" next weekend look out...........

the garden sculptures continue to change constantly..............so much of my garden is buried under "umbrella grass"............

a chooky blog has to have some chooks occasionally - here are my new girls and boy..............this is my handsome black "ancona" rooster

hopefully I will be able to breed him with these 2 gorgeous girls..........black ancona hens......aren't they just the prettiest girls......so fancy.........the photos were while they were still in the cage I brought them home in as today they were a little shy and hiding under the trees...............

and while I was there getting the other chookies I just had to get a couple of these red ancona hens too...........

a random feather...........

one of the few beautiful things I managed to find in my garden..............

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