Mooloolabar and Mudjumba

We went to Mooloolabar for lunch the other day, hubby enjoyed his seafood tier at the Surf Club





And I enjoyed the view out the window despite the earthworks going on


Yesterday I went to Mudjimba to do an Adventure Lab with Sue

First beach access, lots of erosion of the sand hills here
Then to the war memorial and playground,  down another access to here and a view of the island 

amazing clouds again today

We had a look around solved the Adventure Lab,  had a coffee and headed home. 
Today I have been for a walk to the lookout, no whales sighted but a great view


And last night three stars were completed
Happy with that.
Off for an afternoon Adventure.
Happy stitching.

Out and about

One day has been spent exploring around some of the Noosa Lakes
Had to park the car and run back for this one these mountains pop up around this area
Saw a kookaburra fishing at the boat ramp
Another mountain view under the bridge
This wooden bridge was built in 1901, the things you learn while doing an Adventure Lab 😁, there was also a no public admittance sign, woops!
Pub in the last town we went through on the day.
Next time we went to the Buderium Ginger factory,  this dragon was resting in the garden.
This article installation was in the gardens, with an adventure trail for children


The Gruffalo was spied in the garden too
Loved these colourful umbrellas 
Off now fir a cuppa 

Holiday

We have been on the Sunshine Coast at Coolum for a week now.  The weather has been a mix of sunny,  rain and muggy heat. 
Some stitching has been done
The start
and finished
My first evening walk in the rain
looking back at Coolum
drawing in the sand
Sunny day
More stitching done

Morning walk along the board walk and to the next bay
Sections of a python in a box under the board walk handrail,  I think it was sleeping but was only brave enough to poke the camera near by! Snakes scare me i have to admit! I know pythons are not poisonous but I am told they can still bite!! 🙄 
This dog is 14 years old and is a Rottie German Shepherd cross, he was waiting for his owner outside a shop, beautiful boy, very friendly. 
Coolum Beach, the blue person on the rocks is hubby doing a watercolour in the wind.



The clouds here are amazing.
I am off for a cuppa, more soon
Happy stitching.

The last couple of weeks

I have finished two more KOGO blankets
I have finished the quilting and sewing in all the endy bits on two cot quilts, these will go to the Children's ward at St John of God hospital for any children in hospital over Christmas 

I hope to make some more....🙄
We have had some wonderful sunsets, the colours looked much better in real life
Colac Quilters Guild had their Quilt In last Saturday, a good sized group attended. Gail from Gail's Patchwork was the speaker and it was very interesting hearing about her fabric career.
Looking out the window at the Bowling club, the sun  finally come out and the day was a bit warmer.
A group of happy quilters. Di, Carole  me, Heather and Jo.
I used a gift voucher from Shane plus some more and get this fabric from These Clever Hands,  love her colour curated packs. Blogger wants this photo upside down 🤨
The stars have made it back out of the tin and a few more have been stitched.
Sunday hubby and I went over to Queenscliff (along with what felt like hundreds of other people) and got fish and chips for lunch and ate them over looking the entrance of the bay. The shop we go to has a separate fryer and can guarantee gluten free. Even had a pineapple fritter, something I have not had for years.
We then drove around to Point Lonsdale and had a look there
Lots of surf rolling in.
Today I went to sewing group then had a walk around the lake at Drysdale, was so calm and peaceful.
Home now and I am supposed to be packing, we are staying at Tullamarine tomorrow night and then fly to the Sunshine Coast on Wednesday.
Better get a move on
Happy stitching.
