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.

 
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.
