Adding Buttons to Side bar and other happenings

I have been tearing my hair out, trying to add buttons/gadgets of whatever they are called to the side bar, these are swaps and things I have joined, first of all let me apologise if the url link is not added, not sure how to add it, but when I get days off again I shall attempt to put the owner's url link in - I hope this makes sense, I am not very techno savvy.

Oh I wish I could say what I have been doing and add photos, but alas, these will have to wait until after Christmas, if you know what I mean.  I just have to remember to take photos of all the bits and bobs and things I have been sewing/crafting.

Anyway, I had better turn off the computer, and do a little sewing before I have to head off to work, today i have to leave home about 11.30 for a 13.00 start as I have a few chores to do in town, main one is to go and get some of those water ice blocks/slippery sams things for the other half, he devours them when he gets home from a day out in the paddock.



Thank you for taking time to stop by.

Lots of secret happenings

I am happily, busy, sewing, when not at work or sleeping.
Making lots of secret Santa gifts.
Also making a red and white hunting for my daughter.
Have joined a KAL, am kniiting a lace shawl, called Edwina, designed by Dee O'keefe, unfortunately, have not progressed very far.
Soon will be surrounded by a Minion or two, knitting them for my Grandson's birthday.
PS will post photos when recipients have received :)
Happy shitching

Wating at Townsville airport

This is what I did over the weekend, among  other things ..... cut out 900 plus 2 inch charms for a Portage Stamp Square swap that is open for registration, this is the third or fourth one I am participating in, they are lots of fun. If interested hop on over to "The Curious Quilter".

Next exciting news is, we ha a storm yesterday afternoon, no rain to speak of :(, lots of thunder,  terrified dogs, oh but the smell of the rain on the dust was nice.

I also worked a little on the golly wog quilt,  for my daughter, this quilt is  a major WIP, been at it for probably 8 years.   Here is my little helper Poppy, making sure I place the corner golly wogs correctly.

Triplets

Well not really triplets ..... things come in three's.
This weekend was one of those occasions for me :(
First up, Saturday,  my shoe broke at the beginning of shift, I did some fancy work with suturing thread, so far it is hoding together nicely.
Later that night when I was sleeping, Poppy my Jack Russell puppy, somehow got hold of my glasses and had a nice chew of the bits that go behind my ears, but I filed them with an emery board and they are sort of ok.
Sunday afternoon,  I forgot and left the back tail gate of my car up, drove through the carport and ripped off the windscreen wiper.

Sorry for the whinge,  but I needed to vent.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Happy stitching
