Mess is getting bigger

My surrounding's at the moment are getting messy (chuckle)........Under my verandah at the moment looks like a mini cyclone has been through.I have got a couple of trestles under the verandah ...... been putting things for the up coming garage come demolition sale below is a couple of photos of some of the gear . so much inside, curtains and tracks, bathroom, built in cupboards, doors

DH is going to start on the removal of plants/shrubs in the garden this weekend

unfortunately all my lovely garden needs to be pulled up and removed to make room for the

bull dozer to come in and push the old home down.

Also DH if time and weather permits him this weekend the pavers need to be pulled up

also to allow the machinery to get in for soil testing etc

as you can see a nice amount of pavers .......supposed I will have to supervise ..... as you can see there are quite a few pavers to be pulled up ready the garage sale.


Once again not to much happening with the quilting in my life at the moment below I have my selection of hand work ready for the nights and weekends, during the period of the new home being built .............if all goes well I should have lots of show and tell in the future

Not much happening

Starting to get things ready for the combined Garage come Demolition sale in a few weeks,not much has been happening in the world of stitching/quilting in my life at the moment.thought I would share a few photos before it gets sold or thrown out
this use to hold my collection of gravy boats

Part of my kitchen which as you can see I am no photographer extends around the corner into another area which has more cupboards, drawers and space for fridge freezer and stove.

All cleared out ............amazing......the items (plates, dinner sets, bowls) I found in the back of these cupboards

Bit dark but this beautiful set of bookshelves was full of all sorts of books

all now sorted , some given to local charities, library and the rest in storage

Don"t you just like the glare (lol)

My linen cupboards run all the way across the hallway wall




Now empty ..........

Been a bit tired lately, so just hand stitching a little of an evening

so a little show and tell below
