30 days to finish my PHD

Wow i don't know what 's been happening in my life, but all i seem to have done lately is work, eat and sleep. I often look at my sewing machine which has several projects there ready to go some only requiring 10 or 20 mins of stitching to complete but somehow i just haven't felt motivated.


So i thought what better way to amp up the motivation then to set a goal
so this is it 30 days to complete some 
Projects half done (PHD)


this list is as follows


complete my last stitchery for  the stitch a long




put all the borders on all the stitcheries already completed and the one yet to be finished


finish my ereader cover


and finally to finish my jumper, which i started before Easter

so by the 15th of September 2011, i hope to have all these projects completed

as if setting this Goal wasn't enough of a push out of my self imposed hibernation 
i have also got myself up and back to the gym
i joined up about 8 months ago and was going several times a week 
but then got a bit ill
and decided to rest my body for a while
unfortunately that rest lasted 3months
so this week i am back at the gym and my ultimate aim is 
just to be a lot fitter, but
losing 10 kilo's would be great as well

anyway glad that i have broken out of my hibernation state
and am back online

hope your hands are working on a project that you love

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
