Oh Dear I failed No Scatterday today

Oh dear I have not got any photos for Scatterday today. I have had an extremely busy week this week , in fact I don't know what happened to the days between Scaterday and Scatterday. I did look for some of the catergories but living in a small country town limits me and my creative brain failed me. I aslo thought of cheating looking for photos online but couldn't do that. Also thought of copying your ideas but I think it is better to fail than cheat....So onward and upward to next week please make it easier......

Monthy GTG of Our Quilts for Kids



We have had a lovely day together with some of the busy workers of our group and we have achieved a lot today we have 5 quilts sandwiched ready to quilt. And we worked hard tracing a dragon design onto some hand dyed fabric for a stitchery and visofixing some lovely cars ready to be sewn. Again used some hand dye fabric and some beautiful spotted fabric.


Had to take a photo and hubby wanted to be in it as he says he helped which he did he helped sandwich some quilts.... We are so pleased we should have twelve quilts to send in December.

Oh Dear It's Scatterday Again




Here is it Scatterday again and I haven't posted again this week....Been very busy sewing cushion covers for this new cafe some friends are opening and this morning up at 5am to bake 4 dozen Gluten Free Muffins for them. And they have decided they need more cushion covers.....

Okay here are my photos...This week's letter was P and the categories were

Sweet Things....My darling hubby and one of our grandaughters okay I hear you say "sweet things?" His name is Peter and he is very sweet.

Metal.... Now had I had my camera with me yesterday I could have snapped numerous metal signs with "Porepunkah" on them as we went through Porepunkah to go to Bright, but no I didn't have it so my sweet thing came up with Prime mover, and we found this toy truck, yes it is metal it is old has our family name on it "Kuhne" My daughter saw it in a shop years and years ago and bought it for us.

Red....Now that was hard looked everywhere for a red Porsche but none in this small town so I came up with this red post pak as I was about to throw it out.

So now I look forward to next week.....

Scatterday The letter F










Seems my life is busy and I am not getting round to posting as much as I should. Goodness me if it wasn't fro Scatterday I wonder when I would have time to post.






I found this week hard but once I got started it was easy.






This week was the letter F, categories were



Cold Things And I chose the Freezer and a painting I did a few years ago called A Frozen Place


Signs Now I thought I would take a photo of the Fire Brigade sign but they didn't have one, so I took a photo of the CFA sign and then I got home and realised there is a For Sale sign on the house across the road, one on our place also hoping it doesn't sell then we won't have to move.


The Elements A few years ago we lived in an old farmhouse on an orchard and a Flood went through most horrible thing I have experienced. so here is a photo of the Farm Flooded . Also we are experiencing drought and need rain and we get what I call False Hope Clouds which we got yesterday,clouds that look like rain but don't have any rain. The photo was taken through my kitchen window.


Something seems to be wrong with my date when I publish this it will say Friday and Friday's date but it is actually 7:29am Saturday October 13th.


My goal this week is to publish a post more than once this week. I am busy making the bench seat cushion covers for teh Cafe but will try hard to publish more posts

It is finsihed




This afternoon I sewed the last stitch in my heart of hope quillow it is finished and I am so so happy with it. It certainly has been a healing experience as I sewed I read the hearts and remembered each of the people who sent them. For those who don't know I belong to two Internet quilting groups and when my sister died earlier this year they sent me hearts. This is a practice that the groups do they applique a heart to an square of cream fabric and they write a message on it. Sending it to anyone who is sufferring.Such a wonderful experience to be a recipient of these hearts. For the last month I have been working on sewing the hearts together and today I finished my quillow. ..... I received 120 hearts in total.

I will take my quillow along to my Craft group tomorrow they have asked about it's progress since seeing the hearts and they want to see the finished quillow. It is our open day tomorrow to raise funds for the local hospital so will display it for all to see.
As well as the quillow and the cushion for the quillow I had enough hearts for four cushions one for each of my three sisters and one for my mum. Margie's is the largest as some of the special people sent hearts for her also. The rectangle one is for Louise. The orange one for my youngest sister and the blue one for mum. They don't know about them so will be a surprise in the post for them soon.
I am so so happy with the finished result.

Scatterday Again






Wow where does the week go!!!! Here it is Saturday and I am running around at 6am trying to take photos.


Here is the result


This weeks letter was C. The categories were....


Hobbies...Now that should not have been hard, I am hobby mad and so it hubby. I found these two Cross stiches that a friend of mine made me a few years back. I need to get hubby to frame them. This friend is a male and his cross stitching is lovely. He did the fishing one for us as hubby loves fishing, and of course me with my teddys here they are going fishing too.


Furniture.....this was easy although difficult to choose what to photograph. Hubby is always making things especially coffee tables I have three. This one is his latest creation


Pizza Toppings.... At 6am??? Where do you find a pizza. Hubby had cheese on toast for brekkie so cheese is a topping hence my photo. Although hubby did tell me cheese doesn't go on top it goes on the sauce. Do you think I should stop asking for his help?


Okay on to next week looking forward to seeing what it will be
