...more foliage

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been enjoying lots of GARDENING these holidays!

This is a glimpse into my fish pond.  5 new residents joined us this week.

Garden Show

I forgot to share some of these lovely photos of the Melbourne Garden Show

 

 

 

 

I went with my mother and some friends a few weeks ago
and had a wonderful time.

 

 

 

 

So inspiring to get home and work in my garden.

 

 

 

Ric-Rac Pickle Sewing Day

The neighbourhood children came over for the day on Tuesday, and we decided to have some sewing time together and make some Ric Rac Pickles.

Brooke is 10 and got a sewing machine for Christmas, so I told her to bring it over and we'd get it humming.

 

 

4 Children walked away at the end of the day, very pleased to have made their very own Pickle, and although I was tired, I had a sense of satisfaction, to be passing on a very loved skill of "making things!"

Today I've been working in my garden, and finished my new Keyhole garden path - thanks to the help of Mr Flowergardnen and Master Flowergarden.
I am so pleased with the result.

My Delphiniums are in full flower and just look beautiful.

This rose is called Ashram. It is special to me as a friend gave it to me when my Dad died 3 years ago. Each time it flowers, I have a quiet smile on my face. It lasts so long inside as a cut flower too, so just a great performer.

BTW
I'm loving being on School Holidays!

Easter Holidays

 I hope everyone is enjoying some relaxing holiday time.

 I have been having some fun making these little bunnies

A Rosalie Quinlan Design

 Good Friday was good indeed.  Our neighbours had some exciting news

 Their Quail eggs had hatched, and there were 6 little babies scurrying around the bottom of thier avairy.

 They are so tiny and cute - like mini baby chickens.

 Fascinating to watch - great holiday entertainment!

Playing Hooky

When I saw this on Attic24's Blog, I couldn't help myself.

 

I got my hooks out and my fingers resumed the rhythm with ease.
I was wrapped with this little guy!

The Quilting Group that I have recently joined has started a Blog to Showcase thier work. Pop over and have a look.  The quilt below is a photo taken from that blog.  The new Blog is called: 22 Begonias

I'm looking forward to the new challenges and friendships.

I've had a lot of trouble uploading this post - 3rd time lucky, but couldn't write all the stories again.  I hope this works...fingers crossed!
