Thinking of you Twi .... At least you are in a warm place away from the high winds ..
I spent most of last night wondering if the oak tree (huge) just outside my house was going to blow over. It certainly shed lots of branches and they kept hitting my bedroom window and side of house. I usually sleep au naturale but donned a nightie just in case I had to move in a hurry. Still windy and cold here but not as wild as last night.

Morning, have been awake for a while but have been very quiet not to wake you all.
Still very windy here and cold.
Breakfast will be later as I am sure you would like to keep warm in your bed.
Kettle will be hot round 730, see you then.

Just a quick hello this morning. Wind has stopped and tree still standing but the front lawn is littered with branches and leaves. Have 5 year old grandson coming to stay this afternoon (til Monday) so we will make a game out of cleaning up.
It's my dad's 90th birthday tomorrow and his 5 living siblings (he was one of 12) are coming through for lunch so most of today will be preparing. Unlikely to get any sewing done. I think there will be 15 for lunch if we count partners and carers.
Keep warm and dry

that will be a fun lunch Bar, *Happy Birthday 4 your Dad*
update from Twi, she is painfree, having another ultrasound instead of ct scan, they don't know what caused the pain, shes sooo hungry hasn't eaten since brekkie yesterday, hugs back to everyone.

coalrange1 - 2013-06-22 09:38:00
43863

Thanks coallie, maybe Twi needs food in her tummy that might settle it all.

skippie1 - 2013-06-22 11:01:00
43864

So good to hear Twi is feeling better today. She might have to gate crash your party barb to have a good feed. I am still in bed listening to the rain trying to convince myself to get up. I worked the last 2 nights and have another 3 shifts next week.
Happy day everyone.

Phew I have surfaced for a coffeee.
need a couple of them badly.
Have emptied plastic containers so I can fill them again with the newer fabric.
(Got rid of all the Irish Dancing Stuff - patterns etc) they were taking up far to much room.
Have filled a few rubbish bags for the op shop and have a few bags ready to photo graph for trade me.
Sould be able to fit it all in my cantainers now bar the large box full of fabric. that will have to stay in there.
It feels good going through all that - and now me is getting sorted heheheeeeeeeee - thankgoodness for potion eh.
Coalie I went back to the beggining of the thread too and you had entered a auction of fabric you bought and that had the date on it heheheeeee
Yes it does seem so much longer. Your lovely quilt had 2010 on it and I though we had been taking for years by then heheheeeeeee We must talk to much then eh.......
Ok back to the coffee and sorting for me
Jugs hot so come and get ya drinks. I will be no where to be found though heheheeeeeee am going xeyed just sorting. heheeeee

dilligaf_dah - 2013-06-23 11:37:00
43889

aha that's a clever Dilli to look up the auction date haha that would've been so much easier than working out grandie ages haha wish id thought of that haha I wonder when we started drinking coffees ?
oooh Grizz oooh that's so cold, oooh :((
Dilli your sewing room will feel so nice, hope your being careful with the dust bunnies :)

Feet up and blobbing .... Glad we don't celebrate 90th birthdays too often. Plenty of food and I caught up with a cousin I haven't seen for more than 20 years and guess what .... She's a quilter too!

I hope you are feeling a bit better today Twi:o)
I finished knitting my muminlaws gloves which my husband gave to her today and she likes them....phew!. They are made from a lovely baby blue alpaca yarn and go with the scarf I made her for mothers day. Here are photos of them both.

Knitting a fun little newborn jumper now.

Wee! They are gorgeous! She is a very lucky lady. And bar has found another quilter in the family...well nothing surprising when we know how strong the genes are.
Guess what? DD who was sent to Sydney on a leadership course got to the airport to come home today only to find out she is coming home tomorrow. Too young for dementia...eccentricity could be the answer methinks.
Had a nice day? Got those mushroom photos coalie? I want to try a moth.

Bar that's so neat that she is a quilter, you would've had lots to talk about.
Wee, wow who couldn't love those gloves they are gorgeous and the scarf.
Aww to Cinderellas sister, at least she didn't think it was tomorrow and it was today, hopefully she will find something fun to do.
