Friday's Fences

Found this rusty fence somewhere out and about, I think it was in Tarwin Lower but not sure.

I just love the contrast

Catching up a little

I haven't sat and done a 'what I'm up to/what I've done' post for ages. The days just run away!! 

I'll rewind just a little to just before Christmas.

(be warned, lots of photos)

Down at Mum and Dad's place a new member was added in early December. Jack wasn't too happy to start with.............
Meet 12 week old Lillee, a kelpie x border collie X lab. 

She's sooooo cute, and................

.........growing very quickly!! This was last week, she's 4 months old

Jack is all happy with his new companion.

Christmas came and went, we had fabulous family time

Before Christmas I managed to make some birthday gifts,

a table runner for my SIL's 60th

finish this quilt for my nieces 21st,

 christmas gifts, there were others but I forgot to take photos.

 January saw us travel to our usual, favorite holiday spot, Inverloch, where we had THE best, most relaxing time ever!! The weather, perfect for the whole time we were there. 

The company......... fantastic.

Looks like J was proposing to J ;-)

 walks up to the bluff,

early morning walks along the beach........

evening walks along the beach, 

its was just bliss.

I took this photo with my phone, can you believe the colours!!??

Home again 

and it was time to get the kids organised for the first big solo overseas trip to Canada and the US.

Justin left first..........his trip was for 4 weeks, he had a ball, loved the cold, snow and learnt how to ski.

 Laura left 5 days later. Her Canada trip is now finished, she too had a ball, she's now in the US

having a totally fantastic time.........am I jealous, ..........yep!! She still has another 3 weeks to go

I must admit, the house terribly empty, strange feeling it was.

Then it was right back work.

I do have a some things happening, like preparations for this stitching day.

It should be a  great weekend.

That's it for now,

Have a fantastic week

"I" Scatterdays

Well that was a bit of a challenge!!  and I am pretty pleased with my ideas!! 

This weeks scatterdays letter was I and the list, money, tools, metal and sewing room inches.

Talk about getting the brain in motion!! I'm sure you could hear the cogs grinding away while i thought about this one!!

Metal = an Iron pelican!! found him last year in a park in Thornlands, QLD when we went to stay with our niece

A Tool had me stumped till Wednesday night when I pulled this out to use it.

Tool = Ice crusher 

Money = Investments we all try to have these

Sewing room Inchies = Inch ribbon/tape

There's more Scatterdayers over at Cinzia's blog

See you next Scatterday

I am all done now and pleased with the result

This Tiny Telephone lives in my shadow box.

The Tasty Thai Zesty Prawn Salad we had on Thursday for dinner.

Friday Fences

Oh how the weeks fly, My good intentions for blogging are just not happening this year, it's so frustrating.

I have so many things I want to share with you!!

At least I am managing to do my FF, I so enjoy finding them and sharing them.

I found this little gem in a place called Tarwin Lower on the last night of our holiday in January.

I think it is made from Tea Tree, it used to be very popular fening in coastal towns.

 

Tarwin Lower Pub,

 the food is always good, simple, but good.

Friday Fences

All done!! Theo, Laura and myself all put in to get this job done rather quickly.

I did the green with Laura, while Theo worked on the part of the fence that needed fixing, the following day Laura and Theo did the red. Still deciding what to do with the gate. It will be the burgundy, but whether to just rust kill paint, or will we go all out and get it sand blasted and then paint it or get it sand blasted and powder coated.

The letter for this week is "Q" the list, a plant, healthy, night time and quick(as this meme is through a quilters list, the last one will always be quilt/patchwork related), I must say Cinzia really made me think about this one, and in the end, I think I fared quite well, not as difficult as I thought it would be.

Quince Tree. Mum makes the best quince paste, it's amazing when you eat it with a sharp-ish or blue cheese. If I'm not wrong I think quince season should be just about upon us ;-)

I was at my girlfriends for lunch a few weeks back, and she made this most amazing salad, Quinoa, tuna and rocket. It was soooo yum and healthy

Night Time = DD the Drama Queen, quiet underneath her quilts 

Quick, making a 1600 Quilt is always quick 

See you next Scatterday
