the week that was....

new nail colour

bonfire season!

three to burn...started in the morning...

 the tree caught on fire...

all good it didn't stay on fire!

 left the biggest one for night burning, 

as it was quite warm and a bit windy in the morning...

(that's why the tree caught on fire...wind!)

 love watching the sparks fly up

 one of my morning walks...

love this place...peaceful

 thunder lightning and lots of rain

 roast beetroot from my friends garden...yum

 blueberry and lemon cake...more yum!

 same walking place, very different morning

 birthday celebrations for two work colleagues

 different side of the lake, 

another beautiful morning walk

progress

almost three rows together....

think it's looking OK.

a little trip away...

 just before Christmas we bought this!

 this was our first offical trip away...

Echuca!

below is a night visitor that I really didn't want!

apparently the people before us were feeding them....

they thought we were going to do the same, NOT!

 this gorgeous guy was very welcome....

he had a ball with all the grubs and bugs he was catching

 a visit to the Holden Museum was on the agenda...

some great old cars, well worth the visit.

 can't go to Echuca without a trip on one of these

 the tiny kitchen with everything right at arms length!

the historic wharf and 2 more very old paddlesteamers

part of the old mill that used to be on the site...

time for some of these....34 degrees every day we were there!

wow....

got an email last week from Jodie at Ric Rac...

seems my comment on one of her posts won me a prize!

and here it is!

thank you Jodie, 

love your fabric and can't wait to make one of these super cute bags!

sashings under way

playing with colours

 

 first two done...liking this....think it will be nice and light when finished

strip sewing!
