Whats in a name?



Lots of my bloggy friends have been telling  their story of how they got their name
this was all started by a curious little blogger called
so i thought  i should tell my story as well


so i was a lurker just like Cardygirl, there were several blogs that i particularly liked to lurk at, Leanne Beasley's, Cinderberry stitches and  one of my particular favourites was 
 actually it was on Chooky's site that i first heard about 
i also really loved visiting a blog called 

so at my second trip to nundle for GDITC i found myself sharing a table with
we were all chatting away when i leaned over and said to
Kerry who's Chookyblue ?.... she laughed and pointed out Chooky
just like Cardy girl i was like a teenager who just discovered that her pop gods were in front of her 
(for me it was Duran Duran....aghhh i am showing my age)
 Kerry introduced  us
and Chooky spent the remainder of the weekend convincing me i should start a 
blog, i have to admit i had already been thinking about it


So the name.....well i always seem to have 
too  many things going on
too many hats to wear
too many eggs in my basket

Hope your hands are working on something that you love

Ciao

Love your blog name - I must confess I feel that way too. Thanks for sharing your story. Chockeyblue must be quite the gal - her blog is interesting but I can't figure out how to follow it on Google Reader.
Great story.....GDITC is soon to be a bloggers reunion....I hope you are going next year...what would we do without our Chooky...
I love these stories and that stitchery pattern. Where can I find it?

I was at Shiralee Stitches table this year at GDITC. We had a lovely time. I like you, was encouraged by Chooky to blog.Not sure how she keeps up with all of her proteges. Now I love it. Sounds like a good idea to tell our name stories on our blog. Love your story.

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
