June news

 We had a great long weekend,King's birthday weekend just gone. Brad and Sophie came up on Friday evening, Saturday while the husband was at work Brad and I made some green tomato chutney and a lemon meringue pie. Sunday we went out to a friends sons property to help clear a huge pile of wood, that's how nice we are... firewood for us. 

It was freezing, Winter was definately here. While we were there we had a little target practice, which was fun.

This was Month 1 of Pick  Petal, then my trial block for Month 2, I have decided to do Month 2 on the machine I have cut all the pieces, all 260 to make the 20 blocks of this design.

This is my EPP set up in the lounge room, I'm doing a BOM from 2015 I may get all the blocks done this month and I may not.

I'm making another batch of pasta sauce today and that will be Chicken Cacciatore for tomorrows dinner.

I am now going to tidy my sewing table it's a mess.

 

May summary

 OMG May is over today I cannot believe how fast the months are flying by, always a sign of old age I know, never mind I will stay old rather than dead.

So May was bag month for me but I have been doing a lot of my Hugs N Kisses epp so I have been doing something. I have got a pouch and a project bag made and made steps on my By Annie Divide and Conquer bag.

Deanna has drawn the Chookshed Challenge number for JUne and it is number 5! My quilting goal won't get done as my machine isn't stitching nice so no quilting till it's service, my sewing No 5 is EPP which I have been doing each nightand maybe I will finally cut the side pieces for my Smitten so that it will be straight along the sides.

What has been happening in the garden? the tomatoes have finally decided to start producing along with the Rosellas and oranges and of course massive zucchinis.I have madfe 5 pots of tpmaot sauce in the past few weeks and zucchini pickles and 12 jars of Rosella jam, this is a new favourite, and a large pot of pasta sauce and a few jars of basil pesto. I am getting ready for marmalde and lemon butter.
