My basket is overflowing again

i have been working very hard lately
trying to clear my basket
and in one day

i managed to fill it to overflowing again
not that i am complaining i had fun


i discovered this super cute brooch at one of the first stalls 
i seriously looked at
they were selling the kimonos attached to a card to give away
but down below i discovered this little kit
and now i have the pattern i can make lot's of these


they were also selling these super cute earrings
i just had to have them
they have Miss S inspired and i think making these little cuties
could be her next entrepreneurial challenge


In keeping with the japanese theme
i bought this Sashiko Kit
always been interested in having a go 


I also bought this super cute little Rotary cutter
i needed it for a upcoming workshop
and of course i absolutely couldn't refuse the deal the 
on the rotary cutter blades


Of course there was absolutely no chance i would leave the craft fair
without Anni 's newest book
the biggest decision is what to make first
i just couldn't resist
this pattern for these super cute turtle doves


So with Cappella, Miss S's Quilt, my stitch -a - long
my jumper, gadget's quilt and i still have my projects from 
nundle to complete

I think i better be spending less time on here and more at the
Machine
. . . . LOL . . . .

anyway enough for now
hope you are all happy and healthy


Ciao

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
