Holidays


So for the past week and a half i have been holidaying at beautiful
Fingal Bay

i have heaps of photo's to show you so you best make a cuppa and sit down 


okay this is what happens when i work out how to use 
all the cool gadgets that my photoshop program has

i have worked out how to do panorama's 



 this photo was 5 separate photo's combined 
pretty clever ...huh


i love the ocean and all the amazing patterns it create's
i can see a FMQ design here....somewhere


another gorgeous shot taken on my early morning walk


yep that's my shadow ..... bit curvy in spots but so am i
heheheh

and below is what is going to help me smooth out those curves


my new Bike, nope Santa didn't bring me a bike, i got this gorgeous gal 
just before christmas

i have been hooning around everywhere all over the bay 
on my pushy, i had forgotten just how much fun 
riding a bike was
(mind you it is pretty flat around here and home has a lot more hills)

as a young girl i spent hours riding my bike
i am sure my mum actually thought
 i was physically attached to it
ironically my first bike was green and so is this beauty

and just in case you all thought i had given up on sewing 
and have been spending all my time on the beach with 
my toes in the sand
ereader in my hands 

i have proof


this gorgeous cross stitch is another of my tri centenury projects
(it will be finished sometime in the next three hundred years)

i leave this stitchery in the camping trailer 
just in case 
i run out of things to do

.......  hold on i just fell over laughing  ....... 
(i never have nothing to do)
but i do sometimes need a bit of a diversion



this is what it may look like one day......i nearly have the roof finished




this is what i took to the bay to work on 
the area outlined in pink 
is what i had done when i got here
all the rest has been completed here 
during the afternoons chatting with 
family and friends


hope you have all had a lovely christmas new year period

and that your hands are working on something that you love

is having a great little give away
so pop on over to her site
and have a look

i have been doing lot's of blog visiting the past few days
there are so many gorgeous BOM projects 
happening at the moment

I hope your hands are working on something that you love

Ciao for now

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
