Quilt Topping Around the World

This is what I have been working on in the evenings this week 

 . . . a really BRIGHT Trip Around the World

 This was one Jelly Roll's worth

 Not sure whether to add a boarder or not . . . it will shrink when I join

And my crocheted rug washed and clean for Winter

Intimate Breakfast

 Last Weekend I was invited to an Intimate Breakfast

to help celebrate a friend's 50th birthday.

 I wanted to make her something special, as she is a very special friend.

 I have been inspired recently by the work of Sweet Birdy Love,

and thought I'd try my hand at something like that.

 I was thrilled with the result, and so was my special friend.

 If only Nelly knew she had been sleeping under a bird!

 The party was fabulous, and in true Flowergarden style . . .

 I was in charge of the flowers on the tables.

Happy Birthday Brenda!

Week 3 Term 2

 Back into full swing at school.

Reports looming -

Meetings galore!

 Children busy.

Musical Rehearsals.

Orchestra Rehearsals.

School - Homework

. . . but LOVING the Autumn colour.  Going to take my camera to school tomorrow, as outside my window is a wonderful tree.  I'm enjoying it so much.

Been getting the kids to gather leaves at Playtime and load up the garden beds for mulch.  So many willing little hands.
