Is it Spring yet?

Well I don't know about you, but I'm over Winter!

Bring on the sunshine!

Not much here at the moment, so these beauties will have to do.

my mini daffs have gone ballistic this year

think I will need to divide all the clumps soon..

this was the last time we had sun...a week ago!

we have so much rain this week, the rivers have flooded 

(yes these are flood waters, and no you can't drive through them, they are paddocks)

locals call this Lake Healesville when it floods, the road was raised many years ago as every time the river flooded the town was cut off, which also cut off a lot of smaller communities further along, or you would have to travel an extra couple of hours to go over to the towns over the Black Spur.

a little bit of quilting has been happening...

I have decided that some of my errr...older unfinished tops need to be done!

these were very easy and very yummy

Maple Banana Muffins...

next time I make them I will be adding more cinnamon and nuts/chocolate bits

these little guys were on the window ledge of a clients house...

when I was little I had a farm game and had something very similar...

memories!

 

not much happening here!

well it's been a little while since my last post and a few things have happened...

that new job finished....wasn't the place for me...

 so on to a new adventure which hopefully starts next week, training starts at the end of this week, 

I'll keep you posted!

As I always say, one door slams shut, another one opens!

this little guy is becoming quite the visitor!

can be hand fed, but only seems to like me, flies off when hubby or daughter come outside.

I'm sure he sits in the trees down the back and watches as I can be in the kitchen and he will land on the railing, will sit there for ages too.

And the magpies get jealous so they come and land on the railing to see what's going on, had 2 kookies and 3 maggies on the weekend, plus another maggie on the ground. 

discovered a Bower bird bower during the week, right outside my bedroom window, 

such pretty birds, but I believe they love fruit and veggies patches!

some lovely fungi found while cutting back the roses last weekend.

we've had some pretty good frosts the last couple of weeks, 

crispy leaves!

and this was the progress on my quilt (from attending my last zoom sewing day with Chookyblue and the girls)

and this is the completed flimsy, on to quilting soon. 

wish AusPost had such pretty stamps, this one from the USA

some baking was done, 

had to do a taste test!

hope you have all managed to do some sewing or other things you like to do...

back soon!
