Funny Monsters...

Busy start to the week

capturing Funny Monsters

 next trying to tame them

 finally fencing them in

 all neatly in their rows

ready for the show...

I am donating this quilt to my Grandsons kindy class,

which they are going to raffle at their Moonlight Markets.

There's A Monster....

Hanging off the wall...

 Trying to fix a tyre...

 Under the bed...

 Talking to the chooks

 Hiding under my sewing chair...

My son's partner was one of the four finalist in

International Student of the Year 2017

 she may not of won

but

what an awesome achievement

Guilty...

Are you guilty of this?

 Yes there is a chair under there! A chair that came with us from the station that was my FIL's that he had a "Grandad Nap" in every afternoon... so I claimed it for my sewing room...

 so that I could sit in it and stitch or crochet under my ''quilter lamp".............

wellllllll I can actually say that has never ever happened in 2 years!!!

so a little action was needed...

DD1 bought me some gorgeous fabrics when she went to Bali about 5 or so years ago... 

last year I washed and ironed them to make some pants and...... that's were it stopped... 

but during the week I made..........

 two pairs of comfy pants and sewed some of the other fabrics into sarongs........

 DD2 purchased some fabric's from Spoonflower for wraps for her new baby... well Lawson is 13 weeks old tomorrow... I have backed them with flannel and putt a binding around them... they are so soft and will have a 101 uses... lucky Lawson is still little and the weather is still cool...

 another piece was made into a large cradle sheet...

 fresh from the garden...

 home alone Friday night... mini pedi... and a change of colour... Aubergine...

 yesterdays cuddles with this Big Man

 still guilty but looking a little less piled high.... 

wink wink wink

Burning The Midnight Oil...

Yep Hubby is back working away so I am having late nights again... 

I don't sleep well when he is away so I sew and stay up... 

less night time that I have to deal with, I am generally up at 5.30

and no nana nap ... have never been able to sleep during the day...

more ''scrappy around the world stripping

 some tubing out (as the plumber would say)

 then loads of cutting and unpicking to produce

17 more blocks... still not sure if I will make a couple of lap quilts or a bigger one!!!

 every afternoon I throw the ball for the dogs...

but

Baz is the ball dog

Jax is a stick dog or leaf dog or larger stick dog or dead branch dog

 the lawn and back door are generally his collecting point drop off... most days there is a collection to pick up and bin...

some of my rose bushes have an abundance of flowers at the moment

and I have picked some for around the house

 some of them have a glorious smell

 and others not so much

 they look so pretty

Stash Busting.... Trip Around The World.

This is what I have to show from the first night of sewing

 my middle row is a brown and I am using all shades of that colour...

this is last nights ''strip show''

still deciding how big I will make it or if I will make a few lap rugs?
