Echidna.........

I have a resident squatter at present.........he's digging up the lawn..........tossing my sewing machines out of his way...........I have a little video of him that I took this afternoon........

here is the video link.......

Also here is a pic of the sewing machines tossed around.........

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

Chookyblue..........

random pics in Australia..........

heaps of shots out the front window............just didn't bother you with all of them but there was a lot of driving...........we did a lot of night driving too.............you barely see a car.........can you drive 150kms and not see a vehicle?

big road trains.........so loooooooooooooooong..........

below is further down the road about an hour later.............

My favourite I think from the trip.......termite mounds come in lots of colours and sizes.........

the colours are always changing throughout the day..............

that cliff face above is 64metres

the flowers from the trees above..........

Sometimes I even wonder how I spot the things I find to take photos of when driving along...........

Lots of burning along the sides of the roads...........(sorry driving and through the window)

On the right side of this photo nearly at the middle you can see the top wire of the fence and it had flood debris on it...........this is from the massive floods up north in March this year............

just under 7000kms........(cut off at the QLD border)

some roads great, some rough, some terrible, some dirt.........

finishing with a morning glow..............

In need of some social connection I zoomed a bit on the weekend..............thanks to those who joined in some or all of the shorter sessions..........and welcomed a newby Louise @ USA........

I did some sashiko, stitchery and got my churn dash on the design wall..........only snapped one screen pic......26 Chookshed Stitchers popped in.......some for quick visits to say hi and others longer......

And Sylvia you have Grace chasing you as a super early starter.......well done Grace nice surprise...

finishing off a glorious Sunday afternoon...........

no matter where I go I still get great sunsets at home too.........

Catch you later........

Chookyblue.......

Just what I needed.........

 Sewing time with friends is just what I needed..........

I finally got my sashiko finished and there were a few of us doing sashiko yesterday.........Lynda, Jo, Janice and myself............it's probably going to be a runner...........

The Chookshed Stitchers had a great turn out yesterday..........

31 people joined in during the day.......But I think this was the most we had on at the one time...14 in the photo below.....We also welcomed a couple of newbies.........Joanne in Canada from Thread Head and Tonje in Norway from Made by Nemo..............both I have added to the left sidebar...............hopefully we weren't to overwhelming for Tonje and Joanne and they join us again...........but it was pretty hectic at the start like always with lots of chatter............just like any other quilt group I imagine............

Thanks Deana for sharing this photo with me.........I forgot to take one earlier in the day.......

We even enjoyed sunrise at the beach thanks to Peta............

I started another Sashiko..........this is one of the new ones I got at The Crafters Cottage

I'm sure I will slow down on the busier hexies.........

Wood cutting after zoom I found these mushrooms on some cow poo...........no I am not going to eat them.......just a cool pic.............

Lunch which I have shared on my cooking blog..........opps apparently those on at the time didn't know I had a cooking blog..........well i've only got a few things there but I know a few of you have cooked some of the things......it's been years since I added anything but I will add this one to it and really should think about adding more..........originally the idea what that I would print it out in the end........like my other blog books.........just it would be full of recipes..........

Once Dish Korma Curry @ Chookyblue's Cooking

Also while on zoom I had to go help put some posts in.........

later in the day I took a pic..........

not great but it's more memories and that is why I write this blog.........

Have a great Sunday......maybe back in a few weeks..........

Catch you later........

Chookyblue......
