Chookshed Stitcher 2024 Challenge - June

 

Time to share my June project. 

My project #10 was to start my Sunny Days bunting.

We have been very busy but I did manage to make a start.

There are seven flags to stitch.

 First one finished.

 

At Chrissie's Timeless Treasures Needlework Gathering today

I finished the second one and made a start on the third.

Lucky me won two raffle prizes!

Tomorrow Deana will draw out the next project number. 

By the time she does, Noel and I will be heading 

off on our new road trip to the Kimberley to visit Nelson.

 So whatever project number Deana draws out, 

I'll be changing mine to my latest road trip rug!

With over 4,000km each way, 

I should get my navy and white one finished. 

I've bought some more wool to start another rug. 

A pretty one this time!
 

After all that travelling we did last year, 

we had planned to take our new caravan and 

just spend a week or two in one spot! 

So much for that plan! 

 

We are heading up to Kununurra where Nelson will pick 

us up and drive us to Mitchell Falls Wilderness Lodge 

where he is working for the dry season. 

The kids at the Kandiwal aboriginal community 

(where we stayed in 2022) is next to the lodge and 

they are very excited that we are coming back.

 

I'll have lots of photos to share when we get home.

A Couple of Hound Dogs!

 

Now that they have been gifted, 

I can finally share these hound dogs.

 I made them for our two favourite little neighbours, 

Bernard and Eugene.

 

Made for their first birthday.

I made them at Scrub Stitchin'. 

The boys were lucky to get them as they were

 kidnapped, or should that be dognapped,

by naughty Jenny! 

Jenny hid them behind this quilt.

 

 Bernard.

 

 Eugene.

 

Chookshed Stitcher 2024 Challenge - May

Time to share my May project. 

My project #5 was to make a Tilda cushion.

It's still a work in progress. 

I worked on it today while zooming with the girls.

 

Rex popped in to say hello to everyone!

As it's the 1st June, it was time for Deana to

 announce our June project. 

My project #10 is to start my Sunny Days bunting.

Miss Molly's Birthday

 

Happy 12th birthday to Miss Molly!

 

Molly was a very pale red heeler. 

You can see Ginger keeping an eye on her.

at the top of the driveway.

Having fun with Rex at the beach.

Birthday bones to celebrate for Molly and Rex. 

 Molly is a bit of a grumpy old girl now 

and is always telling Rex off, 

even if he isn't doing anything!

But they love hanging out together.

Friday Night With Friends

  

No sewing for me last night. I decided to keep working 

on the rug I started Monday on our short road trip to 

Adelaide to pick up our new caravan. 

Rex missed me while I was away and cuddled up close 

while we watched the Carlton vs Collingwood match.

I'll be adding a round of white to the blocks 

to make it a Carlton rug (wink wink!).

Thank you to Cheryll for hosting us last night.

You can see what the others got up to here.

 

If you haven't had any replies to your comments 

from me, I'm not ignoring you. 

Apparently Optus is having problems with 

Hotmail and Outlook emails being blocked 

but they are working on it. 

But I've worked out I can email you through my 

Gmail account, so that's what I'll be doing until it's fixed.
