Orange-possum

I finished my scrappy, leftover, orange-possum cushion today.  It felt very refreshing to finish a project! It was also divine to enjoy spending 5 hrs to myself, to unwind with my sewing.  I now also have a plan.... for my next quilting achievement thanks to some inspiration from a new friend.  Bring on the cold weather, that I will enjoy being shut away in my little sewing abode.....aaahhh for the hummmmm of a sewing machine.

Wednesday's Owls

It has been so long since I have done any quilting!! I am off to visit a new friend tomorrow to start a new project. My mind is spinning with choices of what to do! I finished the lovely Wednesday's Owls from www.hotpossum.com for my little niece CC turning 1 last month. The little prem baby growing so fast now.  So cute....

Canoes on Swan

Smiley, the youngest, had canoeing on the glorious Swan River yesterday evening..... while I had fun with my new camera!  Oh I wish I can remember more often to stop, slow down, look around....and enjoy being here....

ready, set, go.....

Here we are again at the swimming carnivals....go Durack, go Green..... so wonderful to see the team spirit of support from the kids.... and so much fun!!!

Hooked...

I have always been a bit partial to coat racks, hooks and the like.  I think it must be the sense of organisation that it creates when items that might normally end up on a chair or the floor, can find a new home on a coat rack. I have a lovely new coat rack on my lovely new wall.  I spend alot of time these days, when walking around our house, commenting on the simple things I love as we create a home. My newest one......I love my coat rack!

Big Red

Record breaking tomatoes!! This summer the vegies have flourished...nothing to do with me I'm afraid. We have a Grosse Lisse tomato in hubby's crop of over 1/2kg!! WOW!  Check it out.  It is so perfect that I am going to put a photo of it on the wall in our kitchen, above the oven. Our oven too is new......Oh the simple pleasures of something that works so beautifully!
