Out and about

Yesterday when part of the family were visiting we went for a drive looking for photos take, and of course I had to sneak in a geocache!!
We stopped at the end of Swan Bay Road, off they go into the soggy beach area

The birds all took of fairly quickly!

This pelican was grooming off in the distance

Something of interest out there.

Now we are in Point Lonsdale, we climbed up a path to the top of the sand hills, yep there was a cache up there...I didn't get a photo of the ocean as I was too busy searching and by the time I found it the (big) kids had had enough!!

We went down to the jetty, there were huge clouds appearing over the horizon, luckily no rain!

The light house is a working light house.
Today I have been into Geelong for the car to have a service, me to do some messages and then home.
The turtles are together, just waiting to be positioned on the quilt.


I have finally sewn the binding on the Doing the Rounds Quilt, after a gentle nudge from Leeanne, I am happy to say I have even started the hand sewing!!


Just a little reminder of the beautiful quilting Leeanne has done on the quilt.
Off to sort some dinner now.
Happy stitching.

  6. What a lovely day out by the water. Of course you had to find a cache. They should all realise that. Your turtle has come up well and it will be so good when you finish the binding on your gorgeous quilt.

  8. Your quilt is so beautiful and it must feel good finally putting the binding on it. Lol, I found a half done Kaleidiscope block amongst the junk on my sewing table the other day. Love your turtles.
