Before all that 'excitement' I manage to get four and a half Courthouse Steps blocks completed. I'll finish that last one today and change the needle in my machine. YAY. It's so blunt now! Then I think I have three other machine pieced blocks to finish plus the hand pieced one I'm half way through. I feel good about being all done by next Wednesday.
I was having a little look around Cinderberry Stitches the other day. Natalie is working on a deliciously yummy project right now. I'm inspired to get back to some embroidery.....after my quilt blocks are done!

I'm so glad to hear that!
I'm so glad you didn't have to evacuate. I hope the winds have changed.
Great progress on the quilt! I'm about one-quarter of the way through on piecing my blocks. I feel like it's going to take forever!

Great to hear that you all had a reasonably calm night.
Kind Regards

Thanks everyone. You appreciate home so much more when you're faced with the possibility of walking away from it. We've had lots of stories around school today of families having people stay with them, or some having to evacuate. Others, like us, were prepared to go.
Tracy,
What? lipgloss is not essential?
Glad to hear you're ok. Not sure where you are exactly but our news last night wasn't particularly specific anyway. I did wonder though if the flames licking up close to Melbourne might be a problem for those on the fringe.
in the evac kit for my boys:
change of clothes
teddy bear/blankie (not packed but it's on the list)
full "winter" kit - long pants (only natural fibre), long jumper (wool is best), boots with a thick sole (school shoes are usually pretty good)
beanie - something that can be wetted and used to protect face from radiant heat
It wouldn't hurt to pack an activity bag but who on earth is thinking of that at such a time?

No Lisa, no lipgloss. Yet another thing that would cause a rash. Given the dermatitis I'm battling with right now I'm not inclined to add to it!
