The galahs were busy at the bird box n the weekend, I notice they have made holes in the bottom of the box now.
On Sunday hubby and I went over tot he nature reserve in Ocean Grove to have a walk and look for caches
We saw several grass trees
Wallabies in the trees. this one was eating the leaves from a small gum tree
that furry lump is another wallaby
this one was keeping an eye on us
we saw this plant on the edge of the path, I was surprised to see this as I think it is an insect eating plant and I thought they needed a lot of water to grow, maybe it has taken off since we have had rain. We found all the caches we were looking for too, bonus!!
One little hibiscus plant in the garden had a flower bigger than the plant!
These lovely ladies came for lunch yesterday and brought lunch with them! It was Ingrid's birthday and Kim was visiting from Tassie. Jill came over too but I didn't think to get a photo early enough.
The clamshells are finished and made into a journal cover for Ingrid.
I was very happy I got it finished in time and managed to surprise Ingrid.
I also made Ingrid and Kim a mug carrier each, there was lots of secret sewing happening over the weekend!
Yesterday late afternoon we had a heavy rain shower, the galahs seemed to enjoy the rain and I enjoyed seeing the rainbow!
A but fuzzy but the colours looked so good in the late afternoon sun.
I have sewing group at St Leonards this morning so I had better get my skates on!
Have a great day.
Loved your pics! Happy birthday to Ingrid. Lovely gifts you made. The clamshells look so pretty. I just ordered some 2 inch ones....I suspect I am hooked. Your hibiscus flower is beautiful!..... and HUGE....enjoy your stitching day xx

ReplyDeleteWow the clamshells look amazing made into the journal cover
Wonderful photos! I love seeing the birds and animals. The birthday get together looks like it was fun and your gifts were special!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of your outing Sue - you do get to see some sights :-) Gorgeous sewing for Ingrid too - the clamshells are perfect on the journal cover and the mug carriers are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour gifts for your friends look wonderful Sue - love them all. Hope you have a great day too Sue - sunny here but a wicked frost this morning. xx
ReplyDeleteYou write about galahs and wallabies so casually - I suppose it is like deer around here - a dime a dozen! Love your "secret sewing" and the phrase "better get my skates on" - I am going to use that!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I love to see wallabies and galahs. No chance of seeing them here when I go for a walk.... Glad you enjoyed your visitors. The journal cover is fabulous, as are the mug holders, wow! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower and the pictures from your walk are great. What a lovely clamshell gift! I have some papers that came as a freebee with a mag and I really must do something with them. xx
ReplyDeleteInteresting stroll through the reserve with lots to see!
ReplyDeleteLove the clamshell journal, looks great
Lovely to have a catch up.
Did you find a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow?
What a fun day you had.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pics of flora and fauna. So good for the soul. Great pic of you and the gals. Love the gorgoeus clam journal cover and the mug holders look lovely. So many lovely projects.

ReplyDeleteI'll never doubt you again Sue - the clamshells are done and dusted (unlike the ones in my cupboard)! Love the journal and the mug carriers - you really are clever x
