Tuesday Treasure and more on Nundle

 

 

 Tuesday Treasure……it is still in three pieces, but one day it will be re-assembled……this singer belonged to my DH’s grandmother…. it was living in a garden shed at his parents home…it had nails hammered into the top and it was in very bad shape……We were not sure if we could restore it at all, even Mr. W thought it was only good for the tip……but Mr. W. took it home and with lots of elbow grease and tender loving care he was able to bring it all back to life for me…..so this is another of our family treasures……..Clare will have a list on her blog of other treasures…..so pop over and have a look…

  

This is a bit of a look at what I was working on at Nundle…..

More Nundle shots…here we have Dale and our very special friend Norm who now lives with her daughter in Sydney..and that’s me at the back…..it was so nice to catch up with Norm again…..

the three wild ones in the back are Deb from Sydney (Norms daughter, in the middle) and Leanne (right) and Nicole (left) also from Gunnedah….Kath at the front and Norm at the back are enjoying Kerry’s lovely lunch.

Back to work today…….oh dear, is all I can say…..

Kerry's shop is filled with lots and lots of tempting goodies.....how good are these spots...(I had to buy one of those little bundles...LOL....)

Had the best time.....

What a fabulous time we had in Nundle..at 'Cottage On The Hill'...the lovely Kerry totally spoilt us, what can I say about this awesome woman, if any of you have the opportunity to go to one of Kerry's retreats I assure you that you will be totally blown away......so to you Kerry from the bottom of our hearts 'thankyou'.....Dale Kath and Myself headed off on Friday in one car and June and Gaizie in another, we had to drive four hours to Nundle with one quick stop to go to the loo and we also stopped at Quirindi which has a great little dress shop...after checking this out we had coffee and then Nundle was just down the road. we arrived around 12...unpacked the car moved into our accommodation which was to be our home for the next four days and three nights... ...and then off for some lunch at the Pub....checked out a few shops, one shop had 25% off all bags so a couple of us did buy a new handbag...then out to Kerry's to select our fabric for the next days sewing....what we do is select the fabric and Kerry cuts and has everything ready for us to sew the next day...now how good is that.....(we never have to use the rotary cutters at all she cuts everything)......(more tomorrow)

I am so excited...

Tomorrow morning at 7.30am we head off on our annual retreat to Nundle.....only 5 Narromine ladies this year, Dale, Kath, June, Gaizie and myself this year and we will meet up with four lovely ladies from Gunnedah...and there, we will spend three nights, two full days of stitching with the lovely Kerry from Cottage On The Hill..........I think I am organized...well I hope I am.....all sewing bits backed and yes my machine is very excited as well....I have made some rocky road, have a few refreshments, a bit of hand stitching just in case...clothes of course and the camera, what else do I need....nothing...

This little stitchery is the first of three for a table runner, (purchased at Cobar a few weeks back)....I will take lots of photos and there will be lots of show and tell next week...hope you all have a fantastic weekend.......keep safe ....
