My Baby Is Growing Up

A much shorter note tonight.
As I was very busy at work and my very poor memory , I forgot to take photo's of the Compass blocks.
Sorry !!

No sewing tonight as Zachary had an information night at High School for next year .
My baby is going to High School.
Now I know I'm getting old. Lol.
He will be going to High School for the next 2 days to meet his teachers and his class mates.
Then 3 days next week and Primary School is finished.
Only 6 more years of School.
Do you like his crazy hair ??


The girls layed 10 eggs today .

Until Next Time.

A Very Short Note

I have finished another Mariners Compass today.
And I will take photo's tomorrow ( I promise )

Tonight I have been playing around in my sewing room , looking for some fabrics ( I found them ) and seeing if this goes with that.

I'm still playing Angry Birds . Lol.

No hexie sewing tonight.

Thr girls layed 14 eggs today.

Until Next Time.

Addictive Games

As I have only been sewing at work today , I thought some more flowers will do for show and tell.

 Hibiscus.

As I have said before , I don't know the name of this one.
But it sure is pretty.

This one is under Grandma's bedroom window.

And a standard Double Delight.
It looks so much better in real life.
The ground under the roses is covered with violets.

Grandma's little house in the distance , with the roses in front.

Truth be told I have been a little addicted to a new game on my phone.
Angry Birds.
Thats what I have been doing tonight.
I'm so bad ! Lol.

The girls layed 7 eggs today.
They are bad too !!

Until Next Time.

Stop By And Smell The Roses

We have had another very warm day.
And as the roses are flowering well again I took lots of photo's , over 30 of them.
I might get some blown up and framed for Grandma ( she loves her roses )

Double Delight.

The driveway with the Agapanthus.

I did do some hexie sewing today.

DH and I took Zachary and his friend to the skate park after lunch
When we got home we picked fresh beans , carrots and potatoes and had them for tea.
It's a very nice feeling eating the food that you have grown yourself.

The girls layed 11 eggs today.

Until Next Time.

Half Way There

I have started Hexie no. 50.
So when I am half way through this diamond , it means I am half way through my diamonds for my quilt.
A wow moment.
But still a very long way to go.

Today we had DH's family over for lunch , so the morning was taken up with making salads and hamburgers for the BBQ.

We had a nice afternoon visiting.

The girls layed 13 eggs today.

Until Next Time.

Christmas Festivities

Only sewing done at work today !
And a busy day it was.

I had to race home straight after work as Zac had school captian duties at the Nyah West  Christmas Carnival.
With hot food , doughnuts , popcorn , buggy rides , train rides , live band , jumping castles , face painting , fireworks and of course Santa.
Oh , and a little bit of rain.

We aren't to sure what happened with the girls today but they only layed 7 eggs.

Until Next Time.

A Day Out In Town

What a day !

Other than being at work, I don't think I have spent all day in town before.
DH had an appointment at 9.30am , so we left home at 9am.
Then started the Christmas shopping !
Lunch was had down by the river , at Riverside Park.
Then to Murray Downs to pick up DH's new golf sticks.
We killed some time and stopped to see DH's brother.
Then more shopping.
Then DH had his doctors appointment while I picked up Jacob from school so he could get his hair cut.
Then it was food shopping time.

Then we stopped at a friends house to get someone.

Posey.
Who is fast asleep on Jacobs santa hat.
Now Posey is a boy cat , but as he does some great poses , Jacob decided that was his name.
 we didn't get home until nearly 6pm.

No sewing done today.

The girls layed 14 eggs today.

Until Next Time.

Cleaning Day !

Some of the blue Agapanthus are out.

It's a great shade of bluey/mauve.

They make a beautiful show.

The roses have come to a bit of a standstill as the weather is getting hot.
They are best in the Spring and Autumn , the Summer really knocks them around.

DH and I did some cleaning today.
The linen cupboard had a major overhaul.
Stuff got put in the bin.
Why do we keep things ?
 ( Oh , it might come in handy one day. )
Well DH now has a big bag of rags for the shed.
He also sprayed the weeds around the place.
I gave Zeus a hair cut with the scissors , while DH held him still.
He looks so funny.
Then DH gave him a bath.
We pressure washed the entertaining area out the back.
And I did heaps of washing. ( now I have heaps more from cleaning the linen cupboard )

No sewing done today.

The girls layed 12 eggs today.

Until Next Time.

Another Compass

I had a busy day finishing off  another Mariners Compass block.
Then finishing the binding on the one I made last week.
And I have to make another on Friday.
I will take a photo of the one I made today ,  on Friday.
I think by now I could make them in my sleep.

The patterns for them came in today as well.

I have finished the binding on my cushion tonight.
Also I have been reading.

And a very Happy Birthday to  Kylie  I hope you had a lovely dinner.
And I hope you had a nice afternoon.

19 more sleeps.

The girls layed 11 eggs today.

Until Next Time.

No. 49

 Diamond Hexagon No. 49.
Only 50 left to make.

I am a very lucky girl.
Sue , my boss , did a class with Robyn Pandolph a couple of weeks ago , when she went to Melbourne for the trade show.
She brought home Hope Cove , Robyn's new range that they used in the class.
And guess what?
Sue gave them to me.
They are very , very nice.
I haven't had a very good look at them yet , but I will on Wednesday as I have swapped again for Friday.
I will have to wait until the fabric is released to get some off the bolt for borders and binding.

The girls layed 11 eggs today.

Until Next Time.
