Since I last posted we had an impromptu trip to Townsville and back in an imported US motorhome which now belongs to dear friends of ours Reg and Lori. Our place was the first stop on their way back north to collect their belongings before heading to Victoria and parents who are not too good. They want to spend quality time with them before its too late.
You are looking at 37' of luxury
The interior is all stained wood, the finish is just lovely. It just needs some TLC to get it back to perfect again.
The lounge on the left of the photo also folds down to a double bed and that's where DH Ian and I slept. It certainly was a fun 5 days.
I and Rhonda J. from Krazy Krafters have put the finishing touches on the cat quilt to be donated to Kolan Gardens next month. One of the moggies now has a collar and bell and the label has been embroidered and sewn onto the back of the quilt. Voila one finished quilt.
I've also been tearing my hair out trying to put together my chook quilt. In 2001 in my before life I was in a group of ladies who met on scquilters and we met monthly in each others homes. We had a swap as quilters usually do and we each made 9 chooks any shape on any size block. Well what a dilemma, but one I'm sure the other 8 quilters have beaten. I'm probably the last one to put mine together and of course none of them would go where I wanted to put them, but I do see a light at the end of the tunnel and after making and discarding several blocks have finally started to get the quilt to look like one. Shall put up photos when I get a little further advanced.
This was my youngest GD after her birth last February
This is her now - 6 months later and with 2 and ¾ teeth, being held by a very proud mother.
Have been having a ball out in the sns shed. I get out there and forget the world, except that I have a tv which I listen to.
Tomorrow we go and put our signatures on a contract for a new caravan. This time a Jayco poptop. We are trading in the Roadstar Trackvan, Ian found it just too heavy to tow and I found it just a little too high to get in and out with my gummy hip and leg. This should be more to our liking — fingers xrossed. We have to wait until the new one arrives sometime towards the end of Sept. So our last trip in the Roadstar will be in a couple of weeks when we head off to Peach Trees State Forest for a week, with my DB Ken and DSIL Lyn. Peach Trees is at Jimna near Kilcoy in Qld, a lovely little park where in winter you freeze your b....s off. One time we were camping there, in a tent I might add, and my DB Trevor's car was white with frost, we couldn't see the red paint underneath.
Since our friends Hans and Marg have been staying with us, a total of 8-9weeks now but who's counting, the fellas have been very productive, we now have 2 more outside walls of the house painted, one more to go, but that won't be for a while. We have to source some second hand weatherboards, we're not paying $5.65 a linear metre for them. That's just highway robbery.
