some colour in the garden

remember that waratah my DH picked a few days ago, well it's starting to open up nicely

my azaleas are gorgeous this year, they always put on such a good show!

walking past the lavender bushes I couldn't resist all the bees, busy working away

bluebells, I have the traditional blue, pink (more mauve than pink) and white

Dutch Irises are starting to come out, I have these ones and purple (missed a photo of those sorry)

my orange tree is loaded with blossom

the succulent garden is blooming as well,

everything has grown really well, still need more plants and to finish off with some stones and rocks, 

but it's getting there...a work in progress 

Spring brings forth a new duck family, this is the first one I have spotted, 6 cute little fluff balls (yes I know there are only 5 in the photo, one didn't co operate!)

blockheads3...this one almost did me in...Jack and I were great friends...my head just wasn't in it, but glad I persisted, very happy with the end result

and some baking...warm blueberry and lemon cake with lemon glaze...just the thing for a lazy afternoon tea and some leftover for lunches the next day

and my normal Irises are putting on a show too...the best since I put them in several years ago

 enjoy the rest of your weekend...

more Modablocks3 done!

 

three sizes for the basket collector block...

this one is 8in...

some of my fav fabrics 

and my waratah is blooming (almost!!)

here it is still attached to the bush,

looks like its going to be pink

came home one day and hubby had picked it and bought it inside to enjoy 

and also encourage the bush to bush out!

it's changing colour,

going a deeper and deeper pink 

you wouldn't think it was the same flower

enjoy your day 

I'm off to continue with the blocks!

Julz

almost caught up!

a few more blocks have been added to the growing pile...need a lot more 8" ones, so thats what I'm concentrating on for a while, 

with some other sizes thrown in when I see ones I really like

have a attempt the curved version of the above one ..

leave that some when my head is in the right place for curves!

made a second one of these, didn't feel too beachy with the first one

the moon was amazing during the week,

another halo around it

and my garden has a little more colour too

and we celebrated Fathers Day with a lovely dinner from a local place called Matilda Bay

and a new colour for Spring
