My quilting thoughts and inspirations sprinkled with a glimpse of life down on the farm

Discombobulation... (and a few houses)...

Discombobulation, at sixes and sevens, out of sorts, clipped feathers -  I've been suffering from it all lately.
A month ago, my sewing cave looked like this, then it looked like this -
Bedroom and sewing cave
In the process, my internet connection looked like this.
Satellite disconnected so builders could add more joists.
So as well as having all my sewing things (and our bedroom) stacked away in the spare room (everything I wanted was at the bottom of the pile in the back corner!), I've also been unable to connect with all my quilty bloggy friends. (And it amazed me how much of our farm business is dealt with online). With a few other things going on, it's made me feel quite Discombobulated! (Can you tell, I just love that word!).
However we now have the internet back, homelife is in a bit better routine, and while I still cant always find everything I need, I feel a bit more settled - yaay!!

My sewing has been spasmodic but I do have a couple of houses to share.
 A few months ago I asked if anyone wanted to swap window features with me - Pat, Carol, Annette, Nanette, Leeanne and Michelle have all helped boost the variety in my houses (thank you, ladies).

What better place than a building site for my scrappy houses.


Here is another house I completed yesterday. It is from the JustTakes2 quilt that I have finally been able to make a start on (more in another post when I have my photos sorted) .

I'm looking forward to catching up on all your blogs - thanks for visiting, and  happy sewing every-one,

  2. Oh No! Cut off from the world and also from your sewing stuff? Definitely the cause of major discombobulation! Hope all is back to normal soon, and you're all settled into the wonderful new sewing cave.

  5. Sounds like something Mary Poppins would say. Well I am glad that the house is supposed to look like that! Was a bit worried to start off with that you had suffered from some sort of misadventure. Middle of winter - hmm, not the greatest time to have great big holes in the house!

    This was definitely a themed post.
