Chillin' With Hexies

Update: Thursday 31 - no change
                                   - mobile coverage too slow for photos

Update: Wednesday 30 - power out 9am (pole down)
                                      - roads still cut with flood waters

Update: Tuesday 29 - power back on about 2pm.

Just popping in to say that I will be on a bit of a bloggy break for an unknown, hopefully short time. Today is day 4 of being flooded in and day 2 of no power. We have a generator to power fridges and freezers for periods through the day and I can recharge the laptop and mobile phone but I am being careful about usage. We are safe, just isolated and thinking of those who are have a worrying time ahead.

Thankyou to all the lovely elves who have posted about their 1 Xmas Item for January and left comments ... I promise if I haven't yet visited you or added your photo to the page I will do so as soon as our power is restored.

Now that the rain has stopped I've been sitting on the verandah for some natural light and making a few more hexies. Our new additions think they're keeping me company.



I did give in to temptation and made 2 thread catchers on Saturday while we still had power.  My 'Red Home' arrived just in time in Friday's mail.


Time to save power and go make some more hexies. Might make a start on my February 1 Xmas Item Stitchery too.

Stay safe everyone xx

Just like a pioneering woman....still sewing! I'm sure those little puppies will distract you from the outage and the weather. Hope it's all back on track soon.

Not much fun. Flooded in is better than flooded out. Glad to see you keeping your spirits up by doing some sewing. Hope you get your power soon.
