currawongs and other stuff

 Decided that this will be my new camping quilt instead of the one I made earlier in the year,
only because I think the other one would get very dirty as it is quite light colours,
the centre blocks were given to me a few years ago by a friend, 
they have been hidden in a box all this time, 
I had just enough of the blue and red for the extra borders, 
added the 2 outer ones from my stash and will have just enough of the green left for binding,
just need to find a backing.
my one and only rhondendron is out, such a pretty colour, so I bought a couple inside to enjoy


I have these 2 regular visitors to my magnolia tree, they love the seed pods that form from the flowers,
each year they come and break them open for the seeds, 
I think they are still looking for them even though they are all finished...
they are quite entertaining to watch. 



hope you are coping with or without lockdown depending on where you are in the country!
Melbourne has just begun lockdown #6!
We have been told it will be 7 days, but nobody believes that, 
the last one was supposed to be 7 days and it turned into 14, 
so who knows!
Doesn't affect anyone in this house, 
we all still have to go to work as we are all essential services, 
feel so much for small business that are hanging on by a thread!
where and when will it end?

My gosh you ask the hard to answer questions today! I hope this is just for 7 days but who knows. If people don't follow the rules we are in trouble. Lovely quilt and rhododendron flowers, I am off to pick some jasmine soon. Lovely to have the birds visit.

Lovely finish and pretty flower….
We’ve not had lock down here since March last year BUT it will only take one stupid person to change that.
Folk are reluctant to have the vaccine ?? šŸ¤¬

A simple, yet effective quilt. Rhodos are a gorgeous flower. Enjoy them while you can.

Love your garden and bird photos. THinking of you all on your side of the border, and not sure how to answer your question of when will it end?
