Two off the list.

Well it has been quiet around our house these last couple of days.... although I have two small finishes... small as in small projects....

yes it is a chook pot holder, it was a kit I bought many years ago.....

it turned out much smaller than I thought it would,

won't be taking the roast out of the oven with this little fella.....

Had to show you  plums off our tree that are now in jars as plum sauce.....

My second finish is a more recent purchase.......                                      

a couch companion.......

this should help me keep everything where it should be...........

love those pockets for needles and threads.....

and a big fat pin/needle cushion...... very useful....

so that's two things to cross off my list

Now what's next to be finished.... hmmm..... might need a coffee to think about this......

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year to you all.... We celebrated the New Year in Lakes Entrance on our boat with our son and his girl-friend and her two boys, Victoria had gone back to NZ and Kate was staying in Lakes with her friends..... for the rest of us it was a fairly quiet night, we were all a bit tired after the week on the water in perfect weather, swimming everyday, walking along the beach , building sand-castles with moats, trying to catch very elusive fish, kyaking, socializing.... one day there were eleven boats all rafted up with us along the beach.... lots of fun.... but there was no sewing done :( ....too much else going on I think.

So far this week I have cleaned , put away , vaccumed , mopped and ironed to get everything back to normal..... then today I had a tidy-up in my sewing room and I'm ready to go...... three weeks of January left so I will have no excuses for not finishing one or two projects..... although DH has decided seeing as the forecast for the weekend is hot we will probably go down to the boat, so I had better get some handsewing together so I can stick with my plan....:)
