Thankyou

A big thankyou to all those that took the time to comment on my last posts.  I deleted the emails before I could respond to everyone's kind words about my quilts and knitting. 

This week I have not achieved as much knitting and sewing as I was hoping for lol but did get the front of Lance's jumper finished last night and also the last of the stitcheries have been framed with their fabric pieces for the family quilt.  Maybe I can either start a sleeve or do some stitchery tonight and here and there over the weekend. 

Today, after ordering and painting timber yesterday, my father is coming over to help with the massive task of pulling the pickets off the front fence and replacing the railing behind which is rotten as I found out on Wednesday while trying to replace some broken ones.  That will allow me time to paint the blasted thing over the school holidays as the pickets need a lot of prep work done this time thanks to sitting in floodwater for a few days.  But it does look like the paint will just peel off the bottoms of 95% of them lol.  I really am not looking forward to undercoating and two top coats but then it should stay in good condition for the next 15 years before I need to do it all again lol.

Katherine sounds like you will be busy, what a beast of a job but sadly must be done. Look after your hands, they will need some TLC after your hard work... x
