some exciting news....



after my really sad news that i announced on the GDITC blog the other night
i now have some exciting news

after 20 years 
i will finally have my own sewing room

with Miss M leaving the nest late last year
Miss S 
decided to move rooms

and i have inherited her room

it's the smallest bedroom in the house
but that's ok
it will be super cosy



this is my current sewing space
at it's very worse
usually i keep it alot neater, 
but i have been busy renovating Miss S's new room
and my sewing area unfortunately becomes my dumping space


Miss S's newly painted room


My new sewing room


after all the painting in Miss S's room i was thinking of
 not painting this room

but gadget talked me round and tomorrow this room will start to get a 
freshen up

i think i will keep the red wall
as a reminder of Miss S's red faze
i actually quite like it, now i am used to it
the other 3 walls will be painted a
soft cream colour
the same as Miss S's new room
since all the 
painting paraphernalia 
is still in the house


my current crafting tools

i am also going to keep the bed in the room, 
ready for any guests who would like to stay


i think this special room deserves a name
but as yet i have nt 
come up with one


any suggestions?


 i better get off the computer as
i need to go clean up my sewing area 
as we are having guests for dinner tomorrow night

I 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
