Since I have been home

We have had a beautiful sunset

I have checked on the desert rose to find it is still flowering! Very exciting for me!

I have painted a bird bath with grout sealer as it was leaking.

I finished a jelly roll quilt top, thanks to an idea from Susan and Lynda who made them at Scrub Stitch'n. The Supervisor gave his approval just before the wind blue and the quilt top fell on him!!

I had the urge to cook, not normal for me, but it does happen from time to time  and tried my hand at some gf Hot Cross buns, they came out of the oven looking much the same and did not agree with my digestive system so will go to feed the birds!

The I made some fruit and nut Bliss Balls and they were great, macadamia nuts and fruits.

We had a walk along the beach, the Chowdy had a paddle,

Giselle who had come to stay for a few days enjoyed watching the boats coming and going

the Heron boats were going out for a sail

our compulsory on the back deck photo.

Giselle started this bag many years ago and it needed the handles sewn on and the top row sewn down, so I did that one morning and now Giselle has a finished bag.

Ingrid and Nick are here staying and Ingrid gave me this egg warmer....how cute is that??

the knitted blanket is slowly growing, onto gray wool now.

Ingrid went to the AQC for th first time this year and came home with lots of goodies,

including this beautiful block she has given me, the fabrics were already on steam a seam and were pre cut!! How good is that, so yesterday I laid it out on an applique mat Ingrid also gave me, and got the picture together, then transferred it to the backing fabric. Hopefully this week I can get some back and wadding together and begin to sew it down.

I am off to put one more coat of sealer on the bird bath, once it is dry it can go back in the garden, then back to the sewing.

Happy stitching.
