Another Catch-Up Post

The last week in one post (again).

Interesting "plaid" pattern at a railway station:

Actually did some sewing:
In-progress blocks, using improvisational techniques, from the book Cultural Fusion Quilts by Sujata Shah.

Meanwhile on the building site, electricity has been connected. It should be a lot quieter without the generator running. Our verandah posts have arrived:
Big thick chunks of a hardwood species allowed in our BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) zone. They will be erected in a couple of weeks.

The brick wall is complete:
It still needs washing down to remove mortar and dirt from the face of the bricks. Then we will know for sure if we love it or not!

Some more bracing ply has been installed:

My parents came to visit:

Australia Post advised us where our letter-box should go:

Sorted!

Isn't it fun when you can begin to see the rooms and imagine what will be happening there? I like the wall too - warm combination of colours.

Love the plaid pattern at the station. Good catch.
The wall looks great! You must be pleased. Laughing at the post sign, but even more so at the reply.
