Spring Doll Quilt Swap

I'm a first time partaker in a mini quilt swap with a bunch of quilty ladies.

We all send one off and receive one back at random.

I can only show you a sneak peek of mine as (and this is very amusing to type) one of my blog followers (yes I have one) is also in the quilt swap and I don't want to give away what I've done.

Zip Line Phase 2

We spent the weekend completing the zip line. It involved 3 tractors and far too many chiefs!

Pinwheels and Barbed Wire

I have had a pretty awesome week doing projects and spending a bit of time at home.

Rounded out the end of the week nicely with a Stitch and Bitch on Friday morning. The session wound up by lunch time but I just kept right on sewing all day!

I just played around with these HTS's and eventually came up with this:


Then I started on the back and love this too!


Today saw me whip up a quick barbed wire out door light for my sisters school fete. Let's hope junk art is popular in the burbs.


This evening I'm sewing a whole bunch of HTS's into pinwheels. They are all scrappy from my stash and these are my favourite two.

Feed store for my girls.

I'm very proud to show you he basic shed that I built entirely on my own after Richard helped me cement in the first 4 poles.

I'm pretty chuffed that I managed to do the rest myself.

I keep my Chook feed in old vest freezers as they are large and keep the mice out. However, they don't like being in the weather. Hence I decided to build the feed store.

Zip Line and Chickens!

This is a post of randomness that will catch you up on some of what I've been up to the last month.
First up was our family trip to Phuket. If you discount the constant rain and gastro, we had a lovely time!
On a trip to Old Phuket town which has a reputation for being the arts and cultural hub of the island we found this very amusing sign welcoming us to browse their store.




Back at home we got started on a zip line for the kids. Richard bought this gantry for another purpose but it wasn't suitable so I decided it would be a perfect end point for the flying fox.








Here it is in situ. The flying fox will come down off the the tree house in the back ground of the picture below.




Finally the warmer weather has brought with it a chicken hatching craze. 7 of my girls went broody whilst I was on holidays and they are sitting on a huge number and variety of eggs.
These have all been hatching this week.
