I would like to show you a picture of my ‘lace’ wrap all nicely blocked.
I would like to show you a picture of my lovely new haircut.
I would like to show you a picture of my lovely new glasses.
But it takes water to block a scarf. I refuse to have my picture taken before my hair is washed and that takes water too.
We have been without water for 4 days now. It comes on just often enough to flush toilets before they get too gross and sneak in the occasional lightening fast cold shower (have I mentioned it’s winter).
It is expected that repairs to the pipes will be completed by tomorrow afternoon. Because we live at the very top of the hill it takes the longest for water to reach us, so I should have water again by tomorrow night.
Gorgeous Man is going to fetch 10 or so litres from a tap that we have found that is functioning, so at least some of the dishes will get washed this evening. I think almost every dish we own is in the sink.
I do have some quilting pictures to show though. These are my latest two blocks for the Free Radicals’ block exchange.
The background is greener in real life.
With those lovely pictures I’m off to drag my smelly self to work. All I can say is it’s a good thing I work from home…
Shame, no water for 4 days!!!! that is just too much.
Hope the water comes tomorrow.
Those blocks are so nice…
No water – kill me now…
Hi Ruth
I found your blog through quilting bloggers. I am a South African living in dubai. It is interesting to see a Australian in SA – it is usually the other way round! Where do you live and what are u doing in SA? Good luck with the water – I hope it gets fixed soon.
Enjoy the quilting
No water? Oh my…
I hope you’ve got the water back on by now. Lovely quilt block, btw.
xo
Growing up in Maine, we were once without water for a full winter. That was interesting. LOL. I hope yours is back on (and stays on) VERY soon!!
Your quilt blocks are wonderful – I love your colors and how they blend so well! I do hope you have water by now, very good you’re working from home!!!
Your quilt squares are amazing – I can do patchwork, my squares never seem to align
Hope you get your water soon! Thank goodness it’s winter over there, I can’t imagine not washing my hair in my kind of weather

Four days without water? WOW! That must be hard!
Love the blocks!
Not fair. No one should be without water when they finish knitting lace!!
What are you drinking, BTW? Hope you can spare some for craft (oh, and showers, I guess) really soon.
Ugh that is a long time to be without water! I hope it gets fixed soon! Actually I hope it’s already fixed as I am typing this!
No water is a huge pain!! You poor thing!
The blocks look great though…as does that GG-certainly not getting any smaller.
I liked the jacket, it would be a wear out and show off one for me!!
