We've just had a wonderful weekend spent with friends; It started with Friday night with Friends, our monthly virtual sew in hosted by Cheryll. After a day at work and a trip to the supermarket, I only just made it!! I didn't sew for very long as bed was calling but I did make a little progress on the rabbit in the latest
Thankyou Cheryll for hosting us all. You can visit the link-up post *here*.
Below shows the result of my work day - it was mail out day for our Block of the Month, etc, programmes. Lots of wrapping.

| ..then Sue and I had a turn. Photo opportunities are a good excuse for a rest! |
After we waved Sue and hubby goodbye YD and I did some horse work with my two horses. YD and her hubby have been working with my young horse while they've been living here. She is 5 years old and not yet broken in..... her hubby has saddled her recently but this was the first time she's had a girth on (so the saddle was actually buckled up!). Not bad - great work guys!!!
I've also made these blocks recently - I love this fabric, some from a Kim Diehl range - and I'm pleased with how these are looking :-)
Happy stitches,
How fabulous to catch up with Sue

You have been busy. How wonderful to meet and have Sue and hubby stay. Hope the body is not too bad after your ride.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely to meet like minded friends, and especially nice to meet bloggy friends. It was nice for Sue to meet Leeanne as well. I bet you were sore after your ride, if you haven't done it for a while.
ReplyDeleteHow fun it must have been to get together with Sue and her husband.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the muscles are asking you if the fun was worth it by now. ;-) It won't be long before you are able to ride the young one.
Keeping so busy does not allow for much stitching.....does it?
great to have a visit from Sue.... you both look so well.

ReplyDeleteThe farm looks like a grand place for a jaunt.

Sue said she had a lovely time down on the farm and your country hospitality. So cool the horses are getting 'dusted off', just like riding a bike aye!
ReplyDeleteHow nice for you and Sue that you could meet up Raewyn and the weather behaved!!
