Suze, Alison and Kate (The Girls from Orange)

Hi everyone, taking lead from Chooky I thought I would add this
 post to introduce myself and my  travel buddies for the first ever 
Bush Stitching pilgrimage to Baradine.....
From left to right we have Suze, my little Bestie from Cobar and most 
recently Orange, we have stitched, laughed cried, got married and had babies 
together and we will be friends forever because we know far too much about
 each other for it to be any different..... Plus I love her.....
In the middle is Alison, my stitching partner and retreat travelling buddy in 
crime, far too much of a lady to be my friend but they do say opposites attract after all.....
We all have a love of Pimms, stitching, and many other things
 and look forward to seeing you all real soon..... 
And then there is little old me, I grew up in Cobar and moved to Orange a
t the end of 2016 for my oldest Miss Molly to commence high school, 
she graduated in 2012 and her brother Jacky Mister in 2014.....
This makes me an empty nester these days with MM living and working in
 London and JM at Uni in Newcastle. No rest for the wicked though because 
I have had my own little place for 5 years and I have a list longer than 
my leg to do inside and in the garden.......
 I like to spend time stitching in my little studio in my back yard
(being a town girl verses a bush girl like Chooky, I have a studio not a shed)
and love it when the girls come to join me, I work full time, like to travel,
 cook, spend time with my friends and family, don't blog much so I am
always in trouble with the head Chook! (kateshowandtellblogspot) 
But lets face it I am sure she would find lots of other things for me to be in trouble for..... 
I love my sewing space that I have created and have set myself a goal 
to get more done this year....watch this space!
  It doesn't always look this tidy that's for sure.....
This is where I sit and machine sew on my little Bernie "The Bernina" that I have
 had for about 35 years, bless her little heart we have done some miles together....
 My design wall that I built for my studio, one of my greatest achievements....LOL
I love a good power tool session that's for sure!
 I also have a little home market business called "Pickled on Peisley" 
The pickles shelf looks more like Mother Hubbard's cupboard at the moment but I do hope 
to get some cooking done before Baradine so I can bring some goodies along with me..... 
The clinking of the jars will hide the clinking of the wine bottles in the car!!!! HE HE HE......
Looking forward to seeing all the old faces and getting to know the new ones.....

See you in Baradine, the girls at work get so jealous when 
I tell them I am off to "Stitch and Bitch"

Until then, Happy Stitching......

Kate
