Wild and windy

The weather has been super windy today, a few rain showers but no storms as was predicted.
Yesterday..
                                               
I went for a walk along the Bellarine Rail trail and the weather was quite different! I was looking for geocaches, found 2 out of four...one on my way back, I am not sure how I missed it in the first place!

I passed this marker post at one stage G = Geelong, Q = Queenscliff and D = Drysdale.

this grasshopper  kept flying in front of me, so I tried to sneak up for a photo, it had beautiful yellow wings,
this morning however was a different story..
when the Supervisor and I went for a walk, the wind was howling and a few spots of rain fell

Last night I sewed together rows of knitted squares for a KOGO blanket, with the winter fast approaching there will soon be a demand for these.
Today I have made a table runner using a panel from NZ, I have to hand sew the binding. I have free range quilted around the birds and ferns.

and the coasters are finished. Quite like these so I might make some more.
It is cooling down here so I need to go and get some slippers I think..my feet are getting cold!
Happy weekend.

  8. Oh, I forgot you are going into winter. Your weather is a lot like mine, but no ocean here, and the winds are high, but not howling ... yet. LOL I am always jealous that you have those wonderful places to walk, and I don't. LOL Your table runner is beautiful! I like the cute coasters, too. Are they a present for someone or for your family? The Kookaburra in the Santa hat is funny and cute.
