Yay. Housework done. Shopping done. Back to my stitching!

SKOW bag is coming along. It's construction method is a bit different for me, but I think it will be okay.

Had a dreadful experience on Monday. Waiting in town for Mr 10, hmmmm, how about a bit of stitching. Fabric, thread, scissors, needle - NO NEEDLE. How on earth could there not be a needle in my car?? Normally I can cover how badly impatient I am by sewing or reading - but I had neither - it was the longest half hour I've had for some time. But I made up for it when I got home, and have started the Birdhouse block for IFB.

I have planted 7 new trees now. My hole diggers have abandoned me. It's probably quite funny watching me swing a mattock out in the paddock. Three more to go. It's nice to get beyond the house yard and plant some trees that will (hopefully) grow really big. I loved the trees in NZ, so maybe I'm trying to re-create a little of that here. Some pine trees will be next on my list (oh how I wish I could grow a giant NZ hedge).

 
Off to Bathurst to visit Dad tomorrow. I really can't justify going to The Home Patch again - maybe I'll just pop into the other fabric shop - just for a little look.

  1. The bag is coming long, beautifully.
    Talking of hedges - have you ever been to the historic house Buda in Castlemaine, Victoria. http://www.budacastlemaine.org/html/s01_home/home.asp
    This is their home page. We went many years ago and the magnificent and very very tall hedge was still there. I don't know if they have been able to keep it maintained these days. In days gone by, they had a large team of gardeners.

  3. I can relate to that. I always make sure that I have a book with me and time seems to pass very quickly.
