IM BACKKKKKKKK

yes peoples im back, Things are working out for the better, i have moved to a tiny little place in the central highlands of Queensland called DINGO it is 150km west of Rockhampton for all those aussies that know where rocky is. Its a small sleepy town of not many people and best of all the closest Quilting shop is only 27km away from me and there is a local quilters group which i will join when dd goes to school full time next year!! belive me im counting down the days hehehe. unfortunately i have down graded from a 3 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom home so i am sewing roomless at the moment until the boys pull their fingers out and build me one under our 2 story house. so my machines are in lockdown under my bed, Dingo is a very dry dusty town so everything gets covered in a layer of dust every couple of days i have to wipe everything down. but hey that is a small price to pay when the family is back together and happy again. My stash of fabric is awaiting its use and since moving i have thought of a few things that i need to make.
We just got a new bedroom suite all timber so i have to make runners for the tops of the dressers so they dont get damaged. My bedroom is painted blue so im thinking yellow and blue mariners compass design.
the rest of the house is a very pale green so i have ordered some lovely curtain fabric off ebay for the bargain price of $50 for over 15 mtrs and it is 56 inches wide so i couldnt pass that one up.
one day when i am heading out of town i will stop and take a photo of the local dingo.
the town consists of a pub, a post office/ local store, and a 24 hr service station (gas station) and 2 saw mills.
the little town where the craft store is called BLUFF, it is 27km away from Dingo and that little town consists of a pub , post office, takeaway/convience store, and a huge rail way transfer station. this is where all the trains get swapped over to different lines as out here is a booming coal mine industry , 47km from Dingo is the closest place to do shopping and it is called BLACKWATER this is where the mines start and there are more further out toward places like EMERALD. from EMERALD there are gem fields called RUBY VALE , springsure, and a well known aussie place called LONGREACH.
I didnt sleep for the first few nites as there is a train track that goes straight past our house it is about 200mtrs from our home and it Carts Coal from places like emerald and blackwater to places like GLADSTONE to be exported to the rest of the world. These trains go past every 30 mins or so and usually have over 100 carriages on them so it is pretty noisy. once a week we see a passanger train go past and sometimes cattle trains.
cattle trains are good, call me crazy but because i grew up in the country on a farm and then moved away i always miss the smell of cow poo lol. so when the train goes past i breath in deep to bring back memories of when i was a kid on the farm. I told you im crazy lol.
anyway thats enuf for today will catch up soon , love yas!
