Celebrating a 21st on zoom as a fundraiser..............

Well I bet you're wondering what I am talking about here...............

News From Jude is celebrating 21 years of her quilting business.............she's having all kinds of celebrations from retreats to sales, to afternoon teas to zoom............check out the link here  and the sale page here.......some stuff is already gone............

Yep we get to join in too............

I am co hosting with Jude this Sat 18th Feb

Soooooooo what I plan is that you will make a small donation to join in with the zoom session..........As Jude has done for many years we will be raising funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia

Here is the donation page. You can make it as big or small as you like. I am thinking minimum $10...........There page has suggested amounts but you can choose how much you donate. Friends of Jude if you have been to one of her events already I am sure you have contributed to her fundraising there......so no need to double up and Jude will know who those people are ...

For those overseas please find a breast cancer charity in your country and make a donation to them. 

THEN....................

Once you have made your donation send me on EMAIL a copy of your receipt of payment so we can keep a tally for Jude. If you are Judes friend happy for you to EMAIL it to her. 

(leave a comment on this post if the email link does not work ot contact me on my right sidebar)

SO hoping to START super early as usual my NSW Australia time 6am and hoping its a good length of time for the day.....maybe a sewing marathon day.........

Will definitely be testing out the air con this weekend........we have a run of 40's coming up...........

If your a stitcher and you make a donation this zoom will be open to all not just bloggers..............

Ok so who wants to join the day sewing together.............

Don't be afraid if you have not sewn on zoom............Just imagine your friends sitting around the dining table with you and thats what its like except better cause you don't have to clean up or prepare food for them to come visit.............

Ok gotta run to work.........
Catch you later..........

Australia Day.........

Gorgeous start for a cracking hot Australia Day............

Early start one morning walking the cattle home............

A few big boys went to the cattle sale.............

Life's been busy between study, temporary new role at work plus doing my old role until they get a new replacement, Dad being sick and the kids at home I have had not time to sew or much else...........Had hoped to zoom for Australia Day but the other kid is home also and its going to be to hot to be in the shed also.............

But it's great because I have tomorrow off so 4 days off work...........yippee...........

Happy Australia Day......got to head off the the celebrations in town..........

Great start to the new year ....... Chookshed Stitchers meeting last night 20 stitchers and this morning my time we had 16 stitchers.... From around the world as usual....... 

We had a number turn up and it was wonderful to catch up.......

Chookshed Stitchers are zooming shortly....... Did you want to join us?

Happy New Year

Chookyblue

Merry Christmas......

 You always know you need to blog when you get an email "you're MIA again. Hope all is well".........

I'm fine.......life's pretty hectic....we all have those patches.......I got one of my courses finished.........still working on another one......it will take some time yet.........my "me time" just after Christmas has now been stolen so I am unsure what to do now for some me time..........it's not the time of the year to take me time in my job.........you could get a sudden random Chookshed Stitchers zoom if I can fit something in some time between Christmas/New Year............

I'm not even going to try and say I will get around your blogs as I just don't have the time at present.........

I did hang some tinsel at work but that's as good as the Christmas decorations are at present.......see what the next day brings.....I've been annoying them with Christmas carols on all day........

Christmas is at home so I need to do something fast..........

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas........

Have a wonderful New Year......

Catch you in 2023......

lots of love and thanks for all the fun times and inspiration from 2022.......

Chookyblue..........

PS I have a quilt to share too...........it needs binding but it only arrived back yesterday.........
