The Postie Came.........

..................................and bought me a parcel from the USA. May seem like a strange time to be buying from the states in light of the W.E.C. (World Economic Crisis), but desperate times........ So what did I get?? Do I hear some of you saying it looks like a fabric size parcel???

Well you would be right!!! I have finally gotten around to ordering the fabric for the border of the Bee's knee's quilt. Despite the W.E.C. I still saved money on this lot.I purchased 4 yards, which cost me us$41.92 (including delivery). That converts to around $64 aussie dollars. So working on $20 per meter here at home. it would have cost me at least $72 for the 3.6m. Trouble was, I couldnt even find meterage here!! I am kicking myself for not buying it 3 months ago, would have made a bigger saving.

Might be a while before I get the border on, so don't expect any pics soon!!

cheers




PS Recieved confirmation today that the shed will be delivered on the 12th of Dec. WooHOO!!!

Another boring post!

Just wanted to post quickly to say that I am snowed under with work for Black Dog at present. Have taken on my biggest quota yet!! It is all helping pay for the shed! No more news on the shed at this stage, I want to ring Dave everyday, but that might just make him angry!

On a funner note: I have finally started my SSCS item for Chookies swap. I know I am taking a late run at it, but I have been formulating ideas in my head for weeks so....... I am planning on making the posting deadline!!!

BFN

Next step......

Building approval is through, and shed is ordered.  Now I just have to wait.......around 3 weeks and it is going to seem like a lifetime!!! LOL

Shed Update

I guess it is time for an update on the shed. We ordered it on Wednesday!! We were advised that if the order was not placed by last week there would be no chance of getting it prior to christmas, and the delivery date would be Feb! Not having a bar of that!!! So got negotiating with DH quick smart. It is not just that I am desperate, but that both DH and I have the time over the christmas holidays to plaster, paint and get it set up. I have to admit to losing just a little sleep this past week planning it all out, I can see it all soooo clearly. Thankfully there has been distractions ie choosing a new car, and mobile phone. (Yes I picked a red car, what can I say, red makes me happy) 

Will post pictures as there is progress. Darren is planning on starting the ground preparation next week I think!!! 

I THINK.......

we may finally have reached a compromise!!!! More studio news coming soon.

This is the Spot.......

Once again husband and I are trying to come to some agreement regarding a studio in the back yard. We know 1 thing; that this is the spot where it should go. Now the first step was obviously to remove the dwelling that you can see. I simply listed in on Ebay and sold it first try and got a mighty fine price. So it is actually no longer there, I am just too lazy to go and take another picture. LOL So that is one project I am working on, if anyone has any suggestions regarding what to actually put there I am open to any and all ideas.

cheers

Has it really been a month???

I have to confess, I have a new addiction!! And it is this that has caused my absence. It is simply called..........Facebook. I have been on Facebook for awhile but  my only friends have been locals that I see in person most of the time anyway. But just recently through the phenomenon  of 6 degrees of separation I found 1 old old friend, then another, then another.......... some of these people I haven't actually seen for over 20 years. It is very cool, but obviously a little time consuming. I have some Quilty Friends there too.

So I am not sure if anyone has dropped by and seen how slack I have been blog wise, and sorry if this post is a little boring! I will be back in the next couple of days with something more interesting.

cheers
