Just a very quick post while I'm having a cuppa about 10am on Saturday morning (which won't be at the top of my post and I don't know why), so you can all see that I've actually made a start on the Xmas QAL.
I also took a quick walk around the garden after hanging the washing out. Below are some photos, though I must say I'll have to try and do something about the settings on camera as they are definitely not the best. Youngest son who is coming late this afternoon, knows plenty about cameras so I'll have to pick his brains.

Ahh!!! There's the orange and some vliesofix. Wonder what that is for?
Not telling yet. |

| My first hellebore in flower This one is Ivory Prince. |

| First daffodil nearly ready to open. These are under the weeping cherry. |

| Last year I planted 3 "The Bride" gladioli, but only 2 have reappeared this year , but do have buds. |
This morning I disturbed some Eastern Rosellas that have been visiting our garden to eat the seedheads from the silver birches. I also heard above the noise of the traffic on the freeway (one of the reasons we want to move) a couple of kookaburras laughing. I will now see if I can find some pics of these to show everyone.

Aren't those rosellas pretty, Sue - so exotic! Have a great day with the family - I can't wait to see what you're project becomes!
ReplyDeleteOh - I've set up a Mr Linky on the QAL page on my blog here: http://hazelsquilts.blogspot.co.uk/p/christmas-quiltalong-2012.html if you have time to sign in!
ReplyDeleteNo Kookaburra at Bag end but what pretty little birds they are.
ReplyDeleteInstead I have QuiltSue sitting opposite me with a big mug of latte, Daisy at my feet and it's VERY hot outside!
Enjoy your weekend and your sewing
