Blog Comments

A huge thank you to Shez

She has published a solution to our problem about blog comments not coming through to our emails

Go here:

After you do what she recommends - you should get an email asking you to confirm the change you made (ie that emails will go to your account).  If you don't get that email it might be because you didn't save your settings after you originally deleted your email address.
Could be worth trying again.

AND then the comments after that should drop into your email as before!!

It has worked for me - hallelujah!!  

FNSI - June

Here we are again - gathered at Wendy's place - sewing, crafting, having a drink or two perhaps?
Thanks Wendy - sending more hugs.

But First - a new(?) use for Binding Clips

DD2 and her partner are now on the property ladder and tomorrow is moving day.  I thought I could help by providing some sustenance for the helpers...and I can just do the easy things like filling kitchen drawers or something.
So, I had to delay my venture into the sewing space to make two almond and orange brownies (from Lorena Uriate's blog <>) and my renowned Nutty Nibble Mix.

I lined the tin for the brownies - but the paper didn't want to stick - ah ha I thought - I know the solution to that!!!

(Best to remember to remove them before placing tray in oven!)

Brownies & Nuts made - sewing time . . .

I traced the rest of the May and the June blocks from Gail Pan's I Stitch club.  3 easy stitcheries each month - bonus projects each month too.
These are in preparation for my sewing day on Sunday at Sunday Stitchers.
The tracing is very hard to see in the photo but hopefully I can see it enough to stitch!

I also did a bit of the binding on this quilt - it needs to be handed over to the new mum & baby soon.  Finishing it might happen Saturday night...fingers crossed.

Thanks Wendy - I love the "excuse" for sewing.  I'll do my best to visit others over the weekend...or next week!
Hope you all had fun.

FNWF - June

This month's FNWF was delayed a little - perhaps because all of a sudden it was June & Friday!!

Nevermind - it doesn't matter when it happens - just a great idea to sew!

On Thursday I went to the Brisbane Craft Show - although it was small, it was more relaxed than the bigger one in October and some cross stitch kits jumped into my bag.

One of them was this: - a cute little beach house to add to my collection .  It is meant to be a coaster and it came with the plastic coaster "frame".   Not much more to stitch on it.  Hope to finish it this weekend.

As to when I get ot the others - well . . . wait & see!

Thanks again Cheryll for hosting and coordinating.  Pop over here for the linky of everyone who joined in.

Thanks for commenting - if you do - and I will do my best to reply.

Sunday at the Chookshed Party

I managed a bit of sewing - but not so much - after all I need to do grocery shopping if we are going to eat for the next week... 😡  (Well I could manage from the pantry but maybe not 4 of us....) and the "domestic" side of life needed a bit of attention . . .

I did some more quilting on the baby quilt - I am going to need hours to feed in all the "loose threads" but it's easy enough.   And I did some cross stitching.

This is the third of a set - I did #1 years ago and started #2 back here.  I still need to finish off the back stitching on that one....

Thanks Chooky for hosting a cyber party - not quite as good as a real one - but less travel!!

Life returns to "normal" now.

Saturday at the Chookshed Party

Today at Loose Threads - I took my Best Friends Forever project - one of those long term - pick it up when nothing else is ready - projects.

I didn't get a lot done as for some of the day some of us helped one of the group who makes stoles for Communions - so we sewed some decorations on for her.

Tonight I did a bit more on Jingle - put a few more bits together....

and then decided I better get quilting a baby quilt that will be due to be delivered sometime this month.

Wonder if I will be able to sneak in any more sewing tomorrow??

I am sure the real party goers are having a ball - hopefully they are sewing as much as they are talking and drinking!!!!

Chookshed Party Time

Chookyblue is having a Chookshed Party this weekend - and has invited all to participate via blogland.

Who needs an excuse to sew?? especially on a Friday night ???

I indulged in a bit of cross stitch whilst watching Better Homes & Gardens

Then into SSS I drifted...

I decided to put all the blocks for Jingle All the Way up to work out what extra bits need to go where - naturally I could have stuck to the pattern and the kit - but - me?? nah - I do like to challenge myself!!!!

I started here:

and sewed a few together and cut some of the extra bits and stuck them up on the design "wall".

I would say to Chooky & friends - Have a great time!!! - but I know they will be - drinks, nibbles, good food & good company and hopefully plenty of sewing.
Tomorrow is Group #1 (Loose Threads) sewing day so more sewing on the horizon.
