Weekend away
We had a wonderful weekend away at St Leonards -lots of sewing, knitting, crocheting, talking, laughing, eating and walking on the beach. Sheer bliss!
Sunset
I went outside to get the washing in on Thursday evening and had to run back inside and get the camera - the colours in the sky were amazing.

Sunrise
I love this time of year, the sunrise's are so beautiful - the colours change so quickly and it is so cold outside - have to run out get the photo and run back in again.
Tupai
Tupai of course was very interested in the strange thing next door and spent ages sitting at the fence watching.
Visitor
There was a visitor in the yard next door on Sunday, he had a look at us and then carried on eating, not a care in the world.

Garden
After 2 1/2 hours of hard work managed to claim some of the garden back - lovely to be out in the sun today. My theory of putting down bark chips to stop the weeds has failed miserably!! Now trying more paving stones that I bought to do mosaics on but haven't. back sore now but happy to get it done!!
Residents in the garden
Shane found the pobble bonk frog in the garden yesterday - was quite relaxed and didn't seem to mind having it's photo taken.When Shane put it back in the garden it sat for a while then hopped off.

Orangutan
My companion in the car! I had a stall for the Australian Orangutan Project at the Gisborne market and had to take everything back to Brighton on the Monday. The big girl just fitted in the front passenger seat - we got a few strange looks on our way to the city. I was really happy with the market we took $620 which was good for June and a cold showery day. We sold 3 adoptions which was great.
Gisborne park
Was walking Tupai on Monday afternoon and was amazed at the cloud formations, it felt like the sky was huge. Photo is a little dark sadly but clouds look good. Also found a red spotty toadstool pushing through under an oak tree.
Beautiful fabric
Bought this beautiful fabric at the Quilt Show at the Exhibition buildings (the center piece of fabric) now I am thinking of what to do with it. Kind of like having a blast of summer in the room.

Coffee cup carrier challenge
My fruity ladies mug holder created for our (Gisborne Quilters) first challenge of 2010.
Tupai the Chowchow
Awww! Isn't he cute?? Doing his best to not look at the camera. The family pet who rules the family.
My second quilt!! I printed photos on to fabric and cut then into hexagons - one row with photos one row plain, kind of a potted history of my Dad's life. I really enjoyed this and am planning another hexagon quilt but with stitchery this time. dad was really happy with this - it was meant to be a lap quilt but is now up on the wall - too good to use!!
Orang utan day
Me in Elizabeth Street Melbourne, really way way way out of my comfort zone. Lush were promoting their Palm Oil free soap and my job was to spruke on the street and get people to put their hand in paint and then their palm print on the window. Great in theory! People on Elizabeth Street are going somewhere and do not appreciate interruptions I found out! Not to worry we did get some palm prints and Lush gave a lot of money to the Australian Orangutan Project from the soap they sold. Yaaay for the Orangutans!
Coat hanger success!!
Found this pattern on the Marmaladerose blog and got twitchy fingers - I hadn't had the crochet hook out for a long time. Thanks to Tania I am now back into it - although it is hard to find the time in between work, scrap booking, sewing, knitting.......
