Hubby's mum has moved into a nursing home in Bathurst so she can be closer to him. We are in the final stages of selling her home. Im in Sydney twice this week, one for an event and another to clean the house as the movers shifted everything this week and all that is left is to hand the keys in.<br />
<br />
I have seven appointments this week due to kids and Miss 16 and I head to Orange Hospital a week today to finally get her tonsils out. Its a been a long drawn out process.<br />I haven't done any sewing since Bathurst Bloggers. I did do the binding on a quilt I made at Baradine and posted it to my daughter in Perth. Her first quilt from Mummy lol. I have made the grandsons two each but me eldest daughter finally has her own quilt to snuggle with on the lounge/bed. She has been using Mstr 10's Noahs Ark quilt I made him when he was a baby. She loves that it isnt heavily quilted'.<br /><br />So what have I been doing, well...we had a guest from Lightning Ridge for a week which always throws out routines. I've been to one sewing day in the last 6 weeks could be longer ..."<br />
<br />
Most days after the night routine has been done, I sit and cross stitch. Its mindless like English paper piecing, which I also need to get back too. Yesterday the kids had counselling so I was able to finish my last fox on Fox Few by Plum Street Samplers<br />
<br />

I have a few scattered flowers to do then I will make it into a little dough bowl cushion. Note to self, buy a dough bowl lol. There are a few animals in this series sheep, goats, llamas, pigs, chickens and a few others but I'm going to start the one with sloths...they look soo cute hanging from their branches. Not sure when I will start those as I'm hoping to do some Christmas decorations for myself and some for presents this year. But as usual, time is running out, If you would like to check out the series you can visit my <a href="https://www.frogcottagedesigns.com.au/crossstitchpatterns">website</a>.</div>

I have been following <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE-oTo2Tps4hgLTI6Cg8sEA">Priscilla and Chelsea's flosstube</a> on YouTube, for a few months now and they are the main reason I added cross stitch patterns and threads to my website.<br />

I sent them a parcel of Vegemite. Tim Tams, a selection of my Lost in Play toys and a few project bags for them and one for a giveaway with a few patterns. I also offered all their subscribers a 10% off their next purchase. The episode is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-ekaCD73Sc"> #116</a> and the unpack of my parcel is approximately the 34 minute mark.<br />
<br />
This past week I finished a pattern the other day its <a href="https://www.frogcottagedesigns.com.au/product-page/spooky-tree">Spooky Tree by Barbara Ana Designs</a>...not sure how I will finish it off yet, but I have a few ideas.<br />

We have a new look and direction...although patchwork and quilting is still on my list of addictions...Ive added another...CROSS STITCH...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My partner in crime Miss Khrissy introduced me to FLOSS TUBE on YouTube in June....I love watching Priscilla and Chelsea of The Real Housewives of Cross Stitch...there are a few others I watch but I love their banter and of course the patterns they stitch... I spent a long time trying to find patterns and hand dyed threads here in Australia which was limited and the postage costs from America well lets say its %$#! ... so whats a girl to do.......but add a Lost in Thread section to her website... </div>
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I now stock Cross stitch patterns by With thy Needle and Thread, Plum Street, Little House Needleworks, Country Cottage Needleworks, Lizzie Kate and more... I also stock Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye Works thread....</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Im expecting another order next week so hoping to increase the thread and pattern ranges.</div>
<br />
I will still be running English Paper Piecing #RubyTuesdayBOM and #Letspollinatethursdays on Instagram each week. The website also has a blog too which I will run separately for a bit longer.<br />
<br />
The DIL and SIL and 3 grandkids moved into our B&B on our property and they will use it as a base whilst they travel round Australia. We have been super busy moving them in and getting them settled, as well as saying goodbye to Miss13 foster child...:Life has been hectic!.<br />

Ive just received my Sarah Fielke BOM 2016 back from the quilters...I kept up on this BOM and finished in time but packed it up when I lost my sewing room to DS12....Last year I found it, Natures Journey, and DD12 quilt. So I sent them to Ladybird quilting in Dubbo with my two 100 days 100 block quilts....yes a total of 5 quilts...I will have a lot of show and tell at Baradine this year!!!<br />

I made this BOM from my French General Stash..and I just love it!<br />Now I will have a quilt for my bed...a first in my 15 years of quilting...sigh...so this is Happy Days lol.<br />
<br />
Next on the agenda is to bind it...not sure if I should do a scrappy binding or a faded red binding....but I am leaning towards a red binding at this stage....<br /><br />The Sofala Show is on tomorrow...its been a busy week of crafting, cooking etc with the kids at school and entering all their creations.<br />
<br />
This morning I dropped off their baking and two of my quilts. One of the 100days quilts with the Tula Pink fabrics and a Camille Roskelley of Bonnie and Camille fame quilt using Streetwater fabrics..<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />I did tell myself I need to blog more this year..but alas its now February and this is my first post of the year....<br />
<br />I was glad to say goodbye to 2018 and hope this year my hubby's health will settle and we can enjoy life again.... I am hanging to get back onto the water but our crusier is at home...after buying a huge trailer and permits etc she is parked near the shed and hubby has been slowly working on her giving the engine and the leg a well earned good service.....we will antifowl and also replace all the awnings, screens etc ..hoping to be on the water again in a few months...<br />
<br />
Next week Im hoping life will get back to normal as Miss 13 will be at school ( we have a new one for a few months). Then my days will be my own again except for all the appointments etc which comes with having five kids at home lol<br />
<br />
I have been in my sewing room twice in almost 8 weeks. I have a lot of my hand stuff in the house, that Ive prepared for the holidays in one of those Ikea trolleys...it hold a lot lol<br />
<br />
Ive been working on my Pollinate quilt..and love those little "sewtites" magnetic strips. They hold my EPP work together tightly that I can sew for longer and not get cramped hands. I bought a three pack from the states but they are now stocked in Oz at Pattchwork Plus in Tasmania.... I find one is ample for my type of work...<br />

<br />
Life has till been a little crazy here with Dr appointments etc but on Friday Hubby got his license back...its been a hell of doctors, specialists, tests etc and fights with the RTA but he can drive after 4 long months...and to celebrate I had a day to myself on Friday where I went to town, did some shopping and visited Miss Khrissy. I joined her in picking up her kids from school and had squeals of delight as I haven't seen her babies for a while...I think I ventured home around 5.30pm.<br />
Usually I'm on a tight schedule for the school pickup and the bus run etc... it was soo nice having a relaxing day......<br />
On the sewing front, I'm still plodding along with my Pollinate quilt...am loving it and its growing quickly, but my poor thumb keeps getting stabbed here n there lol<br />

Im just waiting for my second 100 days quilt and my Natures Journey quilt top which is being custom quilted.... that will equal 4 quilts completed in 3 months woohooo... oooh ok two quilt tops were finished in 2016 lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, what do you do when you have a finish...well, you start another quilt of course!! I loved the stitchalong with the 100 days blocks and the inspiration so Ive jumped on board with the Pollinate quilt being run by @nightquilter and @karenthediyaddict on instagram...Im using the left over fabric from my 100 days...ummm I did have to buy a few more Tula pink FQs so I had a good balance of colour...</div>

This week I attended a workshop at the Home Patch with Lisa Maddock of Forage. The class was excellent. We learnt how to draw inspiration from boro, sashiko, and kantha. We used a variety f repurposed and vintage fabric with some of our own stash and mixed them together to create a background, then added an embellishment if naive stitches to create our own piece.<br />

I bought the book years ago when I started stashing reproduction fabrics, so this sewalong grabbed me. Its all done by epp (another excuse) which I lurve and havent been doing a lot lately. Ive done the first three blocks. The goal is 2 blocks a week. I had good intentions as this has been running for three weeks now..the first week it started my hubby got sick, so its been a slow road back to catching up. IM only 2 blocks behind now...<br />

Im heading back to Royal Far West next week and cant take a sewing machine, so I will need to do a weeks worth of blocks before I go....Ive ordered some more Tula Pink solids as I started with only 10"layer cake and I dont have much fabric left... I am happy with the blocks and Ive been trying to fussy cut where I can..... we are a third of the way through...I can see myself sticking to this... one day I was busy but I ran to the sewing room at 11pm and sewed up my block...I try to keep a weeks worth but out..Im finding this helps...</div>

Most nights now Im knitting and I found this book on line and just love my new "dishie"cotton. Ive made two dishcloths so far one for my mum and one for me...Mum says it was too pretty to use for the dishes so she will use it in the bathroom..... they knit up quickly and I love all the different designs, although I love this cable stitch (which isnt really a cable)....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ahh the rain has arrived, the fire is smouldering and the kids have contact till late afternoon. Hubby is meeting his daughter somewhere along the Bylong Way to pick up his grandsons tablets, so he will be gone for a while too, he took Mr 12 (grandson) with him for the early morning drove. Ive just dropped Miss 15 at the Painted Horse Cafe in Sofala where she now works. Am I alone? Afraid not, I have Miss 12 who arrived yesterday morning staying with us for the long weekend.<br />She is happy to watch movies whilst I catch up with blogs and on my third cuppa this morning.</div>

I finally caved and bought the latest and last two issues of Laine Magazine. I have been following the magazine on Instagram and really enjoy their posst and stories. Therefore I'm planning on sitting and having a good read before lunch and maybe after too. The issues have soo many lovely projects, and the photography is amazing. </div>

Life has been busy of late with fostering and doesn't leave much time for crafting. I have only managed to knit a few rows each night of my new knitting project (insert sad face). I bought the wool a while ago and its a chunky soft knit, cant wait to wear it, oops I mean finish it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I spend a lot of time working on<a href="http://www.lostinplaytoys.com/"> Lost in Pla</a>y now, painting, designing graphics, visiting preschools etc... and that equates to no sewing....and don't get me started on my sewing mojo...she has left the building!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I went to our sewing group the other week, it took me ages before I pulled out something to sew and then I had a sore thumb, poor thing not used to epp'n anymore... So....I need to allocate at least 20 mins a day to sew, its my first love and I've been missing her greatly..........will take me 20 mins to sort out work to work on ...soo many WIPs hahahaha... </div>

I had planned to sew with the girls today, but most were busy this week. I should have made the effort to go and sew with Miss Khrissy. Call after call, and now we have three unhappy girls at school and I sent hubby to go and pick one up and sort the other two out....<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
this is me today....</div>
Now if I had gone sewing, my day would have been filled with lots of shits and giggles and a bit of sewing, which my life is lacking of late.<br />
With an extra two children in the household of late, my crafting is knitting socks at night. Which I finished one the other night...now it needs a partner....I started to make them for my Mummy for Mothers Day ... oh well her birthday is October so I may have the second one finished by then.<br />
Im about to head out to my sewing space and get a few hours of anything, even if its just sorting or patting my fabrics'...oops forgot the hubby will be back soon, I wonder how many kidlets he will have with him.....<br />

So not a lot has been happening except for family life which is always busy....Ive been knitting when I can. I joined the handmade society sock KAL on Ravelry two months behind. but Im ok with that. I love the hand dyed yarn that is all over instagram and etsy at the moment. I have bought enough for the first six months of the KAL ( knitalong).<br />

Saturday we went on a mystery tour ...we were told bring some stitching and walking shoes....8am a coach turned up and took us all 35kms to the Sculptures in the Bush...a 3.5km walk in bushland along the Dandry Gorge...and Saturday night was a "pink" dinner. I won a prize for the most outrageous outfit...hmmm dunno why and of course I don't have any pics lol</span></div>
