A winery, a Winner and another wether!

Back from the winery - it was a lovely day out for a drive in the Aussie Bush and we got to see John's name up in Chalk!  The food a bit more gourmet and pricey than my usual fare, but it's a once in an every so often treat.   John showed once again, how versatile he can be - playing as a one man band.




 I've finished my stitching tonight for friend's mum's quilt and that will be off to the USA during the week.

 Speaking of sending things overseas...  we have a winner of the fob draw ....   Harry pulled a name out of the pink glass bowl ....  GRACIE  - Congratulations!  I have sent you an email - please send me your snail-mail address.

I nearly forgot to show off my latest addition to my flock - a workmate travelled home to England and brought me back a shelf-sitter-sheep.  He will live at work for now.

TUSAL - July 31

For somebody who has spent a LOT of time and floss stitching sheep, my TUSAL jar is suspiciously bereft of white orts.  Am I stitching with the white floss to the 'nth' degree of floss and not caring too much about the length of the coloured floss perhaps?

With today's offering, I show again my sheepie scissor fob and my latest two sheepies - a black sheep - there's got to be a black sheep in every flock and my newest rough and tumble ram, found at a garage sale yesterday for 20c.  He's a bit dirty and marked, but loved enough to still wear a red ribbon.  I must admit that the family holding the garage sale had funny looks on their faces as I tried to explain the significance of sheep.  (what am I going to do with all these sheep after Dec 31st?)
I'm off to see my son play his blues guitar at a winery today for lunch - I'll draw the winner of my fob giveaway tonight after dinner - so there is still time to enter  (Edited: No there isn't!).  For non-aussies only I'm afraid - but Aussies keep watching; I have a plan.
