Second Week of June

Well, the daughter etc are in their new home... still unpacking to do of course especially as she is away with the Widget at a sporting carnival......   I did have a laugh at her expense.  She has changed from 1 child to a partner and 4 children ----- went off to work very pleased with having organised everyone for school/work etc (3 different schools now instead of 1).... went off to the loo at midday to discover no make up and not even brushed her hair!

I worked on getting this UFO done..... A stitch along by Joy in 2023.  I used fabrics from my scrap linens.  The grey/beige was actually linen napkins from the OpShop.  

The stitcheries don't show up very well in the picture


... but you can see them close up....


On Wednesday machine sewing with friends I got my Floral Fun block done.  Sewing along with Brisbane Sunday Stitchers ....


... and then I did my 2 Neighbourhood blocks, sewing along with Susan....


Little bird applique done in the evening....


This new neighbourhood development is coming along nicely.....


Hand sewing this week has been continuing with Sashiko 365 ....  I'm up to 125 done now


Hope you have a good weekend, we were to have friends for a visit but Covid has visited them..... so I will keep  warm with the wood fire and get some sewing done..... proper winter weather finally.

Righto, Gotto Go.....  time for some hot chocolate!

Neighbourhood is looking so pretty. The finished top looks great. Haha, so daughter coping well! What a shame for your visitors, oh well, more sewing time. xx

That’s too funny about your daughter. Seriously, I hope she settles into her new routines well. Great stitching progress, as always. Your little town is looking so pretty.

Enjoy your hot chocolate! Loving your house and sashiko blocks, your two quilts are coming along really well. Have a great weekend

Jennifer said...

Oh dear - your daughter will have some adjusting to do! Loving your neighbourhood, and those sweet little stitcheries look very cute too.

Oh that was funny the story about your DD… so different her live is now.
The quilt with the stitcheries looks great and I’d like to live in the pretty neighbourhood you’re making.
Nice colourful block and good progress with your Sashiko blocks…
We’re still having warm days in the mid to high 20s but cold at night.

Oh those Tilda fabrics in your neighborhood blocks make my heart swoon Fiona. I did laugh at your daughters story & actually can well relate as I "inherited" 4 step children too ... as well as my own two sons. It can be "challenging" at times - I wish her the very best.

That's a sign of a good mother; children first and if there's still some time left, do make-up and hair, lol. I've seen mothers with clothes inside out so watch for that one to happen too. Love the neighbourhood. The Sashiko blocks are not getting any easier but they look great. Enjoy! ;^)

Oh dear, I hope your friends get well soon. On the up side, more time to stitch. You have made great progress.

Susan said...

LOL...indeed - poor daughter - what a change! she will get there...though maybe some of them are old enough to do their own lunches??
It certainly is winter . . . wont last long though!!

Jeanette said...

Great to see all your projects coming along, and a UFO finish as well!
I like the look of the floral fun block and am watching with interest as the neighborhood grows.
