BLESSED SPEEDY

Had fun yesterday - two types of fun Firstly "burning off" - there was a dead willow tree that had managed to fall into the channel that Gary wants to water today, so it had to go! And go it did - here's the proof. Not sure if you can see it but the cows were in the next paddock and didnt pay the slightest bit of interest! Next bit of fun - our one chook had been missing for a while and then reappeared and then disappeared again.  Seems she has been sitting on some eggs - and the result - 11 chickens.   Gary and I managed to catch them all and put them and mum in the chook house.  Dont know how long they will last there as the chickens go straight thru the wire they are so small and the chook can fly out.  But they are safe for now!  And quite cute too.

Hard to believe but three years ago this happened - and now three years later my lovely granddaughter Mia is 3!!!! I bought her this fabulous keyboard thingy that you stand on and it plays music - its actually even better than I thought it would be and she was most impressed! I also gave her her "grown up" quilt which I made for her before she was born I think but only managed to give it to her now!  After all whats a birthday without a quilt.

Well we are now officially a family with only one child living at home (Megan).  Sarah has now officially moved to Bendigo to her new home - we helped her on Monday. Here she is opening the door!!! And for those that know Sarah well here is a "shocking" box - only ONE box for shoes and handbags???????????????????????????

Well Ive got block 4 of aunt millies flower garden done - this one took two weeks - it had HEAPS more pieces....lol And Ive refound ravelry  and refound my love for knitting - so some progress on the 3/4 sleeve cardigan and about 20 patterns in my queue of stuff I want will hopefully knit one day - oh!!! and some yarn has been bought too - but dont tell anyone please! But dont you think this might make a lovely cabled scarf??????

Im making good progress with the Aunt Millie's flower garden blocks- block 3 is now done and Ive traced/cut out most of the components for block 4 - this one has HEAPS of pieces in it, so I think it might take a while to complete.  Im quite enjoying working on these although 12 blocks finished seems a long way away!

Block 2 of Aunt Millies Flower Garden is now done!!! and I can see that my needleturn IS improving.  Thankyou to all the lovely comments people posted about block one - must admit that although people are congratulating me on my bold colour choices etc, I didnt choose them - its a block of the month based on the original quilt, so I cant take the credit!!! BUT they are lovely colours arent they.  BTW block 3 is well on the way too.

Ok I might not be the worlds best needleturn appliquer but Ive managed to finish the first block of Aunt Millies Flower Garden - Ive actually had the whole set sitting here waiting for quite some time ., ok a really long time, it was a block of the month (12 blocks) and all the blocks are sitting here ready to go.  I know its not perfect but Im quite happy with it!  Now on to block 2
