It's Been A While...

Well I have been slightly busy... 

a trip to Perth for a wedding...

spent a few days in Perth staying with our middle daughter in her new house that her and her partner have bought... it was the first time her Dad had seen their new home and he was very impressed... it is a great house with wonderful big rooms...

Then just catching up on things around here and seeing we have a few days of below 40 weather wise... yes it is forecast 31....

we have started cleaning up various areas around the station homestead area... first the platform area of the big shed

this shed is about 10 yrs old and over  his time much ''junk or crap'' which ever has been put up here... furniture old/used, station stuff... old bottles... washing machines... fishing gear...

 mattresses... beds... doors... useless wardrobes...

old furniture that is to be done up...

several trips to our tip...

 the pile got bigger and bigger

so much better... it did take 4 hours to do

we now have three sections...

1. a garage sale

2. station stuff

3. our stuff

the reason for this clean up???? we are going to put the place on the market in a few months... I am ready to go and have been for a long time... I miss having people around and it has just become too much for hubby by himself... so there are greener pastures beyond Wondinong... isn't there??? tell me there are hahaha

 

I also did my partner for February's block this weekend...

Sue requested shabby pink and green...

the pattern is just called ''star'' and can be found here... it was pretty easy to do... I do love the colour combination soft and sweet...

pop over to here if you would like to join...

I am also in a ''winter'' tea towel swap...

Umbrellas and rain...

Perth would love some rain about now with the terrible fires that are down there... 35 houses lost so far..

I have also joined up on this place with a ''block lotto''

I think there are 8 of us... we all make 6 blocks of 8 1/2in ... one winner is drawn and we all post our blocks to her... instant quilt top... the winner chooses the next theme and colour... this month was Easter or Spring...

Now I must get to my colour swap partners surprise...
