Scatterdays week 2 - R

-
Here we are on week two of scatterdays - brought to you by the letter "r"








First word is MAMMAL - not that hard for me...lol...our own Red Cow in the herd.  I actually picked her when we bought several cows from a neighbors herd and I liked her cos she "looked pretty".  Our advisor wasnt impressed but she has turned out to be a very good cow, produces lots of milk and is quiet and well behaved, just the way I like them!  Also a bit of trivia - her number is 3034










Next is TECHNOLOGY - R for Ravelry.  Its a fantastic website for knitters/crocheters/spinners/weavers etc.  I joined a couple of years ago and it has really got me enthused with knitting again.  You can make friends on it, join groups, download free patterns and also download some you have to pay for, search yarns, patterns etc.  And its Free!
Next one is technology - this photo is of a Regulator - and its located in Pericoota State forest.  Its a new construction and will allow water to be TRANSPORTED  from the murray river to water the forest.  These regulators can be opened and closed to allow water through when needed.  As you can see by the size of us people - its huge!

And finally SOMETHING RED FROM MY SEWING ROOM.  Here are a few more completed blocks from my "Love is" block of the month Ive been working one - lovely and relaxing to work on as its preprinted ready to go!

Lots of great R words there - but as you live on the land I was expecting rabbits! ;-)

Ravelry is indeed wonderful. I look back now and wonder why I was so reluctant to sign up - but I think it's the same reluctance that still has me not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest -- I spend too much tome on the computer without adding all those things!

Yet, again, someone has posted a photo of something I couldn't work out how to make into an "R". We saw cows, Bentengs, in Bali. And they are red. Duh, me.
Love your stitcheries.

Mums eulogy

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N...

Ive had a very special finish and its a quilt that I love, I wish I didnt have to make but Im so glad that I have When mum went to heaven, the online quilting group that I am a member of - Southern Cross Quilters had the members make me heart blocks in rememberance of my dear mum. I asked for rainbow colours for the hearts as one of mums favorite songs was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the result and its it lovely..... Its taken me a while to be able to sew them together and to quilt and bind it - I needed to wait for the right time Yes it was sad but also so very healing and it is one very special quilt that will hold a very special place in my heart Thank you to each and every one of the SCQuilters who made me a block Your love shines through Also PS the fabric I used as the borders and the backing fabrics were mums as was the label panel - that felt right
