I live in South-East Queensland and yesterday, we had an almighty rain event. Through the day it rained quite heavy and we had water lying around our back door which has happened before with no bother. After dinner I walked up our hallway to find water pouring out of our drain in the bathroom. Luckily it had only just started to enter our bedroom but unfortunately it had travelled into the next bedroom which is now our computer room. Chris and I have never moved so quickly grabbing old towels and sheets to try to stem the flow of water from going any further. We spent the next couple of hours wringing out wet towels whilst trying to work out what was causing the problem. We finally realized that water was coming back up the pipe due to the overflow drain outside being blocked. Needless to say, today I have been washing loads of wet towels and sheets and trying to get wet carpet tiles to dry.
So no stitching done last night for Friday Night with Friends. Hope to get around to seeing what everyone else got up to soon. Thanks to Cheryll for hosting.
I will close with a couple of Christmas stitcheries that I have completed for April's 1 Xmas Item a Month hosted by Narelle at Pins and Whiskers.
These are blocks three and four of 9.
I also completed my April blocks for Chookyblue's SAL 2015.
My first EPP star block. I am really happy how these blocks are turning out.
Well must go.......... Lots to do...........
Happy Stitching till next time........

Hi Noela I am so glad that you are safe but gee no good being flooded,hope everything dries quickly for you,love your sticherys xx
ReplyDeleteHi Noela. Oh no the rain! It's been so worrying to see it on telly...
ReplyDeleteGreat work on your NJ blocks & the Christmas designs are so cute
Rising water is so scary, hope the damage is minimal. You deserve a day of stitching to recover! NJ blocks going well.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks that you have shared with us. I do hope that the damage is very minimal and that it doesn't happen again. Another friend had a similar problem because her tank was full and the grey water backed up through the shower and bath. They were out at their daughters up the road when it happened so she has quite a mess to clean up by the sounds of it. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh no Noela. Not good. Hope you are ok otherwise. Love the stitcheries & blocks. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteThat's not good to hear, Noela. At least you are safe. Take care. xx
