Yeah a TV for me

Look what my hubby did today he painted an old wall mount for a tv, and popped it up on the wall in my sewing/comp room, all we need to do now is put up the shelving unit under the tv whioch will hide the leads and put the timber trims around the door and windows and see if we can get a new door or just fixerup the existing one.

I been Sewing

Firstly the pincushion I made has reached it's destination..and as you can see nope it's not pair of discarded socks LOL.
She has reached her destination at Sweet P's house, and

she told Sweet P her name was Ms Pinny-how cute eh.Smiles all around yeah..
Now remember the items that I showed in this POST made for the baby that is due soon (2nd Sept to be exact)..well since they were so well received I have been busying myself with sewing some more items-plus sewing is a good way to relive shit going on in the head -YES,knew some of you would agree...


I made some nine patch blocks with a kinda fqarmyard theme..and then I chopped them and resewed them-I was pleased with the end result...

I decided to use up some leftover scraps and make this bag as well,it has a big front pocket secured by them lovely green buttons..

And this is a pic of the bag of the bag-just more leftover pieces from the quilt.
Well I took them over this afternoon and too say the expecting mother was delighted is an understatement she was over the moon, she also handed me a lovely thankyou card for the previous items I had made.I just love it when given items are so much appreciated.

Territory Day

July the 1st is Territory Day (and this year it is the 30th Anniversay of self government)In the Northern Territory, it is the only day of the year when we can legally purchase,boot loads of darn expensive fireworks, and we are permitted to light them form 6.00pm till 11.00pm . Every year the night is celebrated at our house , ritual is all crackers are put on a huge table and you just pick one up go out to the designated area -light your cracker and then run for your life.....we usually have a couple of hours of lighting an assortment of crackers-then we rest for awhile and all have dinner and a yak....


Then jump up and back into the fun...we only had one minor mishap this year and YEAH-Yipee it was not me..nah truly Maddie it musta hurt when you got the wee burn-hope it's all betterah now..

Now just too show you all I was very safety concious Iwore my new boots..LOL...and

I sent my Daughter a pic on her mobile and she said "pwetty pwetty please I want them" so I told her let me wear them a couple of times and then I'll send them too you-like really how often would one wear ug-g boots in Darwin eh? But sure did crack everyone up when I walked downstairs with them on-and when I pointed out the safety feature of being able to see where I'd been ....LOL..
