Daily happenings

We have been for a walk along the beach most mornings

Everything gets a thorough check!!

I have finished a table runner for Ingrid, made from fabric from Donna's stash.

and a table topper for Jenny in the same fabric, lots of interesting recipes on this fabric.

The willy wagtail came along on or walk one day for a little while.

My helpful supervisor was on hand as I lay out the International Sisters blocks one afternoon

Right on hand!!!

So he had to have a squishy hug!! (Not sure the supervisor was impressed!!)

I made a shopping bag one afternoon this week when I should have been doing something else, the fabric was a remnant from a local store.

I had some happy mail this week

a new pattern book.....like I need another one!! 

And a beautiful bag made from kimono fabric and a postcard from Pamela. We had an email discussion about the lack of snail mail these days and how we both enjoy receiving some. So we decided to do a postcard swap, or an I will surprise you with mail sometime thing. Pamela sure surprised me. Thank you very much Pamela.

I have finished the sewing on this block, now it needs to be mounted on a 10 x 10 inch board. That is the job for today!! But first sadly I have to vaccum......sigh!!!

Off I go!

Happy stitching.

Today is Wednesday

Half way through the week already , time is certainly going by fast!

Monday saw me at sewing group and Tuesday I finished off these One Block Wednesday blocks, 29 to goooooo!!!!! Yippee!!

International Sisters blocks made with the beautiful African fabric sent to me by the very generous Fiona. 

Sunday afternoon we went to Pt Henry, which is between us and Geelong, to find some geocaches. I said to hubby, I will put in the umbrella as it looks like rain. No, he said we will be fine. We got half way to Pt Henry and the heavens opened. No worries says he it will stop soon. Mmmmmm...he sat in the car and I was the silly bunny getting in and out finding the caches...luckily I had my trusty gumboots on! Even better I found 6 out of 7 geocaches!! And would you believe once I got in to the car and said I am soaked that is enough for today, the rain stopped, the wind died down and the sun came out!!

Yesterday morning saw the Supervisor and I wandering along the beach front

this bird, a willy wagtail followed us for a bit and swooped back and forth across the path

You can see his tail but it is like a fan and they wave their little butts back and forth, when they are sitting on something. Such cute birds.

The wattle trees are in flower now, it is great to see patches of yellow in the bush.

and the fressias are growing wild in the park and bush section over the road, so I gathered a handful to take home. The house is full of their beautiful fragrance.

I have the sashings on the International Sisters blocks, hopefully tomorrow I will get to lay them out and work out some kind of order.

I am off to think about something for dinner.

Happy stitching.
