A Finish...

well two finishes...
this is what we called the ''princess room"
the family that lived here before had 3 little girls and each room was themed...
covered in stickers too...........
 plus I have finished my ''swoon quilt''
 trying to find props around here
 especially when it is such a BIG quilt
 I have stitched in the ditch 
and 
the plan is to do some hand quilting over time on it
 four blocks across so it hangs down
 and the other finish the ''princess room'' no long exists...

ICE...

 Yesterday morning we woke up to this
Hubby's work ute
 and tools
 covered with ice...
we have put some shade cloth over some of the veggies in the patch hoping to save them
as they did get a little bit frost bitten... 
mind you I didn't plant them they have come up in the composting part
and they are doing so very well I would hate to lose them.
This morning was worst than yesterday, 
the lawn was very crunchy as I went to let the old dog out of his pen...
about 1* still at 7.30am!
