2024 begins!

Wishing all a very 
Happy New Year!
May 2024 be everything you want and more.

Our celebrations were very quiet, I did manage to stay awake until midnight, 
watching a show on Paramount ...
we spent Christmas day at home with most of the family,
and Boxing day with the rest...

lunch was pretty simple, 
Roast Pork (in the airfryer, gamechanger!), 
roast turkey and pumpkin, carrots and spuds,
sliced ham, peas and corn and bread sticks, 
made a pavlova
 and tried one of those Coles chocolate sponge with chocolate and orange sauce (very rich!)


and this is the reason we had a quiet one...
introducing Sophie Fay
born 29/11/2023



spent a couple of days in my favourite place, 
moon rise on Friday... brilliant orange!

and the decorations my sister had assembled!


cut my orange tree back a bit as we couldn't reach the top branches,
3 bags of fruit came off the cut branches, 
orange cake,
orange juice, 
some oranges going to work, 
some going to a friend, 
lots left over....


and this beauty has made her maiden appearance today...
can't wait for the whole lot to come out properly, 
think she is going to be a stunner!

 just sorting out a new project I'm going to attempt.

Got this book and calendar many years ago,
decided that I will do the blocks out of the book this year, 
one block per week=52 blocks in book,
that shouldn't be too hard to keep up with? fingers crossed!


ok back to it!

What a beautiful moonlit photo! Congratulations on the new arrival, love the big teddy. Hope your hexies go well this year. The gum tree looks amazing, we have a red one about to burst forth.
