10 year celebration

 Before I get to the subject in the title I just wanted to report from Threadquarters 

Two wool blanket quilt tops for Henry and Georgia,  they need backing next.

In April of this year Joe had been working at Qualtex for 10 years. It took a while to get around to celebrating but this evening it happened at the Foundation bar at The Base.

Home now, I've got a glass of bubbles and Joe is trying his whiskey

See ya xx

An almost normal weekend!

 And about time, it's been a while 

The day started with a rather awesome sunrise, certainly better than all that rain!

And some ghostly low lying fog

The sunrise just kept getting redder

 I had a weekend of sewing down the Christian camp,  well, not a whole weekend but certainly a good few hours of sewing and good company 

Saturday evening we babysat the grandies while their mum and dad were at the All Blacks v France game.

Joe takes his babysitting duties very seriously

On Sunday I had another morning of crafting at the Christian Camp, then in the afternoon we drove to pick up a trundler bed from a friend selling one in Raglan.

All ready for a sleepover next weekend, when Henry and Georgia come to stay. 

And because this weekend was all about chilling out, we had the Sunday roast at the pub in Whatawhata. 

Now it's time for another glass of Port and Reacher on Prime.

Cheers 🍻

Finally....

 ...I have a workable craft space

Welcome to

My Quilty Secret Threadquarters 

Nothing else to report really, since my last post there's been a lot of unpacking, pretty sure you didn't need to see boxes everywhere. 😉

A car load of stuff went to the op shop and there's likely to be more once we've attacked what's left in the barn!

Right now though it's time for a wine and a takeaway, until next time.

And we're in!

A week ago today we had our first night in our new home, we'd started bringing boxes up the Saturday before. We're gradually working our way through the boxes and finding homes for everything,  anything that doesn't fit is going to an op shop.

Moving boxes in Saturday 21st June 

The view, Mount Te Aroha in the distance

Coffee machine 

The first coffee,  total fluke with the pattern,  since then everyone has had a cloud! 😆 

First meal

A very large gin and tonic

The view this morning

Getting organised

Today I was sorting stuff in the craft room

Ran out of storage boxes so stopped

Now I'm up to date 

More soon
