highs and lows...................

A high is this lovely parcel that arrived from Gail@Gails Place in the USA...........

thankyou so much Gail..........so very thoughtful.........

A cute chook fob, a great fat quarter that will make it into one of the Lucy quilts.............and a badge that says "intentional design element" (not a mistake).........

the high the sunset today..............the low I need wind  (pump the windmill) and rain desperately..............Kate usually brings wet weather with her to the Chookshed party but doesn't look promising this year...........the cows knocked the trough lid off and emptied the tank again............this supply also comes to the house so yes no water.......we have some rain water but with it being so dry that is also being treated with extra care.........and the dam in that paddock for that mob of cows is also the buggered one so they need to me moved ASAP............I opened a couple of gates but it was to dark to move the cows..........Mr Chooky will have to do that first thing in the morning............

Awhile ago I got an order from the The Singer Featherweight Shop...some parts for my new featherweight 222 I have not shown you and also some parts for my for my other old machines..........lots of little white envelopes with ricrac around......... I accidentally deleted the first pics I took..........anyway so handy for parts, how to look after your machines etc........

I must show all my machines at some stage......they all have stories to go with them............it's becoming an addiction..............

ok best go.....

winter sure is here today........

we had our first frost............

Catch you later.........

Keeping the love of blogging alive

checking in............

........1000km's later...........I thought I had better post in case I don't get back for a few days............been pretty busy............today some "extended family" time..........more rain while I have been busy and more busy days coming up.......

.......but to change the subject I have several "old" machines and last week I was looking them all up........it turns out I have lots more then I realised...........dh found a couple more at the MIL's so I decided to check them out to.........this one he could not find the number but today we found it.............I looked it up and it was born to life at Singer 306K serial number EM in 1957. This is a very cool machine as it has some metal plate thingy's that go into it and then you can do "fancy stitches" zig zag..................not sure what else but it is still working and a treadle machine.........all the sewing bits and pieces still there from when it was last used.............

totally of the subject now Quilterpolly asked for some suggestions on how she could be an awesome "angel"........head over and help her out..........
