Home Again!!

DH and I have been in Perth helping DD2 do this.

First the discussion on where to start.

DD2 and I cut in the bottom of the walls while DH did the top.

After completeing a room DH and I continued while DD2 started rolling the walls.

It is a BIG house, 520 square mitres of wall need to be sanded and then paint at least

two coats.

Day one,  bedroom No 3 painted.  Day two, the entry done plus study, guest room, bedroom 3

all have there first coat. On we go!!

Time for us to go home Friday morning but DD2 was very happy with what we all achieved.

Oh I would like to show you the linen cupboard.

Wish it was in my sewing room for my fabric stash. Trouble is it is nearly as big as my whole sewing room.

On the road again. We went a different way through a National Park. Beautiful big gum trees and lots of native trees too. Photo not to clear through a speeding car window.

It was a gorgeous Sunny day.

It was a lovely drive home.

Rooster Party Post.

I have joined the "Rooster Party " which is being held by Barb from Bella Vista. I have visited some of the folk who have participated and there are some absolutely beautiful Roosters.

My little collection mostly sit on the ledge around my kitchen.

The is Blue Pottery Rooster is one of my favorites.

 Took him outside to get a better photo of him.

I did the cross stitch
many years ago

"Chooks in Boots"

The colours in the wall hanging are more vivid.

I seem to be having trouble taking photos this evening.

                             

These are my tin ones.                                 

Another favorite.

But best of ALL my Roosters is the one my GS Alex made.

Whenever we find feathers they are added to his tail.

I am away now to look at some more blogs!!!!

                                        

Early Bird Christmas Crafting and OPAM July Finishes.

These are the photos of my Early Bird Christmas Crafting for this month.

Had to go away for a week so I did not get as much done as I would have liked.

Enjoyed doing this stitchery for the small table topper.

Apple Cushions for a special friend. Can you see the small Tuffet too!

Black/White tea towels to pop into my xmas box.

QAYG Table Runner. These are such fun to make and easy too.

  My Needle Case Holder for a swap can go into the OPAM Challenge

OH!! I must not forget my cute tuffets.

I had worked on a quilt all month and spent every spare minute on it but still only managed to get the top done. Ah well it will be a finish for next month Peg.

Some things that make me Happy.

On Friday my DH come home with roses.      

that made me  :)

Sunday we went to our DD1 for dinner with the family :) and my GS1 gave these

 Oh that made me   :)

A card from a special little friend with tulips on. That made me   :)

                                                                     

A surprise letter from a friend,  :)

Also some more nice siggys

Friday Night Sew In 3 in 1

It's   Friday Night Sew In  again so we had fish and chips for tea and afterwards it was into the sewing room .     

Firstly make these wee "Tuffets"

                                                                   

As I am also in the Early Bird Christmas Challenge I decide to combine the two and I also make this Xmas Table Runner in two colours.

Oh!!! I can also put my projects in the OPAM.

Home Again!!

After spending a busy but lovely a week in Perth I arrived home again today.

Love the cute little tin I received from my DD2,

Ohhh!!! Look what is inside.

Perfect to snack on while we play Banana grams.

Saturday we went to watch my GS2 receive his Yellow Belt Certificate in Karate. It was celebrated with a Chinese Dragon Dance.

GS2 is forth from right. 

We went to see "Toy Story" which we all really enjoyed.

Kids just cuddling under a quilt watching TV. While DD2 and I were playing more Bananagrams.

Of course we also went shopping. I just had to have these fabrics.

Look at the cute owls. I hope to make a Baby Quilt out of these fabrics.

These are just because.

Now I am off to bed.

Have to get back into sewing tomorrow.

Some Finishes and Siggy's.

I am off to the big smoke for a few days tomorrow.

So thought I would just post my second Early Bird Christmas Crafting challenge.

A set of three tea towels. A very practical gift but I will put something interesting in with the parcel.

                                                Two more lovely Siggy's I received.

                                                          

                                       I am getting a good collection of them now.
                                                Can nearly make a nice lap quilt.
