'T' Scatterdays

I had to think about this one a bit, I thought, easy, but then.......

I am all done now and pleased with the result

The letter "T" was the theme for this week, and the list, Tiny, Tasty, Terrifying and Threads

This Tiny Telephone lives in my shadow box.

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

my Thread Tin

Terrifying Terrible Twins,......not any more, well that's what people used to say!!

Check out Cinzia's blog for more Scatterdayers.

See you next Scatterday

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

Friday Fences

This our front fence, we've been living here for 10 or so years,

the last year or two we've been saying the front fence really needs a spruce up, we need to paint it, we really do need to paint it, so on Tuesday Theo and Laura started sanding it back, all 182 of them, Wednesday, I was out there with Laura painting the pickets,

while Theo did some gate post mending.

We still have the burgundy to paint, hopefully that will be done over the weekend, so next week I can post the finished project.

Late "R" Scatterdays

I know its late, but I really wanted to do this R Scatterdays. I had it all planned out before I went on

holidays, but I couldn't get it to upload. So here it is, hope you enjoy it.

The letter is "R" and the list, a mammal, technology, transport and something Red from the quilting/sewing room (the last one will always be quilt/patchwork related)

Ramona, yep me, I'm a mammal! ;-)

The Red Rover. This is my dad with his 1947 Rover. He purchased a Rover like this when he arrived in Australia in 1965, it was bottle green, then for various reasons in1974 he sold it . Then in the late '90's as retirement was fast approaching he decided that he needed something to keep him little occupied and decided to find himself a Rover to 'do up'. Well, to cut a long story short he found a Red Rover that was already 'done up', he fell in love it, he ummmed and ahhed for a few weeks, went and another look at it, and on closer inspection (under the hood) discovered it was "his" Rover, well that was that, he had to have it!!
Mum says it's the "other" woman!!

The Radio and Remote

My Red sewing tin.

See you next Scatterday

This is my favorite spot every year! When we pop over the hill and I see this view, I know I'm on holidays. Pity it wasn't sunny, but the feeling was the same ;-)

Scatterdays

Venturing into something new this year, I hope to be able to keep up. Its called Scatterdays.

Scatterdays is a bit like categories. Each Saturday a letter and four different categories is listed. Scatterdayers have a week to find one thing for each category, take a photo and upload it to their blog. You can then go and check out what others Scatterdayers have done. Then it all starts again with a different letter and 4 different lists.

The letter is "W" the list, expensive, musical, exciting and a WIP (as this meme is through a quilters list, the last one will always be quilt/patchwork related)

So for my very first Scatterday

Wedgewood cup and saucer set is expensive.

One of my favorite R & R music

Weekend coming up is exciting, holidays start

WIP, my Butterfly Garden. I need to get it basted. It's on my 2013 to do list!!

Lets see how I go with the next round

Happy New Year and Friday's Fences

Happy New Year to you all, may 2013 be filled with much health, happiness, magic filled moments, dreams, creative moments, and most all love and special moments with those who love you.

Christmas came and went in a blur, I had so many things happening I could barley keep up. There were one or two things that got missed, but I just had to let them go. Then the last minute arrived and I was ready, just,......phew. ( I'm just letting you know Leanne, the last minute is really getting a workout with me, you should have never told me aobut it!!) I must really try and be more organised.

I did manage to finish a few projects some that should have been finished mid year......more on those in a later blog (holidays aren't too far away!!)

Friday Fences starts again, I have to say it's a meme I am thoroughly enjoying.

One of the neighbours down the road has been doing some work on their house, and they have decided to add a fence. Just before Christma s the fence frame and entrance went up. I took a photo last week and now I am waiting patiently to see what they add.
