Mothers Day and beyond

Decided to buy myself a Mothers Day bouquet...
this is it!


been looking after these 3 while Diva has been in Tasmania on holidays,
one needs daily medication (very easy to give to him thankfully)
one hides in places I can't find him!
and the the 3rd on is always hungry!



some beautiful sunsets in between the rainy overcast days

and today is back to 
RAIN!!!!
I'm off to find something fun to do!

over a month ago!

well I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post!
where has the time gone?

so the last of the holiday snaps sees the huge pile of firewood for this year cut, split and stacked!
thank goodness that job is finished!
3 days of bloody hard work.
Easter has been and gone...
this was the last part of my annual leave

we also finished ALL the mulching!
again another job I wasn't sorry to see the end of!
(I still have a rather large pile of mulch left for topups!)


one of my gorgeous clients gave me figs off her tree,
as they were quite soft I decided on jam


the orchids are starting to send out flower spikes already...
so early!
found another 4 once I started looking

my late Autumn garden has been wonderful, 
last year I divided these bulbs and planted lots of them in several places around the garden, 
they have all bloomed, so I have had heaps of these inside,
plus quite a few that went to clients and friends to enjoy

and this beauty is finished!
well  it is now a flimsy,
time to get some backing and send it off to my friend to work her magic!

lots of new stuff on my stall at Healesville Hotchpotch, 
a fabulous new indoor stall setup, 
so many creative peeps around!


my regular visitor

new addition to the kitchen, 
where have I been hiding? 
love it!

some new ideas for the stall, 
bowl cozies...
(I had very hot pasta for lunch one day, 
trying to balance it, 
thought there must be a better way..hey presto!)

and some new greeting card ideas

and my hubby surprised me with this, 
new rain gauge...
and yes I forgot to empty it after the rain
(that's a few days worth!)

so I think that's me all caught up!
hope you are all staying warm (it's been under 10degrees here today!)
or cool wherever you are!
