To hot do do any housework

So spent Saturday .... cleaning up my sewing room and found a lost friend,

Bugsy, help me yesterday and today finish off a couple of small items.

finished the embroidery on this small bag and sew together.

 then started another bit of embroidery

Thought I might watch the tennis last night ............ but I just could not stand the chicks and there grunting............ so spent some time in the sewing room to finish off the embroidery and make a bag

with a little help from bugsy 

 this morning spend,  quality time with the in -laws

then  after lunch watched a DVD in my sewing room, where once again bugsy kept me company,while a made a another small bag.

As it is still quite warm here in the Riverland with a few light showers of rain which has not help with humidity ........ still there are still a  few things life I do not have a say in  ..... (the Weather) ...chuckle

have a great day and take care     Marc  

Not a good start to the week

Woke up this morning at approx 5.40am to the sound of sirens, a blaze started in a steel fabrication factory  approx 800 metres from home, the fire  spreading to a neighbouring outdoor timber furniture business.

The fire generated large amounts of smoke as it burned treated pine at the timber furniture business.
The Old Sturt Highway was closed for several hours while firefighters battle the blaze. Traffic was detoured making it a slow drive to work this morning, (this was the least of my problems)  so while I was waiting in the queue, one of the employees, stop and had a chat , still in shock asked me the following ....arsonists ***** why do they do it?
I now don't have a job................the grieve in his voice was heart breaking.
Until next time cheers marc

The weather is great

Has been awhile since the last post............ back to work after a few days off over the Christmas and New Year period , Of course the fairies did not do my work for me while I was not there  so catch up seems to take most of my day time work, plus a bit of ill health has not helped with the mo jo.

I did last weekend get a few blocks for  my Some Kind of Wonderful quilt.  Now I am organised to do some hand stitching of an evening in the coming week (chuckle). 

The weather has been great to me today, spent this morning doing the home duties, then after lunch  I started some embroidery, have a few gifts to catch up on.

DH is watching the Cricket so I going another room to watch a DVD and do some hand stitching

Enjoy your evening

Cheers Marc
