Queensland quilt

Well I think it has taken me about 5 months but, I have now finished the Hot Possum Quilt to be donated to the flood victims in Queensland. Hot Possum donated the fabric and I have donated my time and tomorrow the quilt top will travel to QLD Quilters Inc to be backed and quilted and distributed to someone affected by the floods.

Chinese Tallow Tree

It is June. The leaves are turning those gorgeous shades of yellow and red. Our Chineses Tallow trees are in those autumn shades today....that's why we planted them.....

Max.......our loved maximus cat!

We have the most beautiful, chilled cat one could ever want.... we all love him lots! He NEVER scratches or hisses or scrambles out of our arms. Asha, our talented artist, made a sculpture today of Max, our cat. She modelled him while he was on his perch in the sun by the window.  We had made pizza dough for dinner, so she used the dough as her modelling clay...

Tidying Up

Some warm, sunny winter days we like to plod around and clean up around the house. This weekend just past, was very productive in doing a few odd jobs around the house including putting up some new lights for our "alfresco" and making the outside look neat and tidy. Perhaps when we are hiding inside and the rain starts.....fingers crossed......we can look out the window and see everything is in it's place. I think hubby may have gone to extremes with making it look clean but you got to love him!

Winter branches

My good friend Nicola, gave me this delightful little cushion. I have added a running stitch in some Sashiko cotton that I bought at the Quilt and Craft Fair the other week to make bare, winter branches. Sometimes it is just the simple things in life....

Baked Cheesecake

What an AWESOME cheesecake we had for dessert tonight! Yummo! Glen and his friend Donna Hay, made a smooth, lemony, delicious baked cheesecake. We will put that one down as a Winner!
