Aussie Land...

Happy Australia Day

Still no baby... maybe today?

Hand Sewing...

Still here 

and 

doing a bit of hand sewing while the waiting game is happening.

Midwife appointments today for both my girls... yes that is right both...

our 2nd daughter is expecting her 2nd baby middle of the year (big cheesy grin here)

she is having an issue with hers though so it will be probably classed as an "at risk pregnancy"

always a drama with this Scott Clan...

I am working on a "crazy patch round robin" that I did last year 

with a few Aussie girls and a few Canadian girls...

I am going to make a large cushion with mine just for me.

 one of the girls got a little confused and added borders

which has worked out okay for me to make a large cushion 

and 

I used the colours in the fabrics to chose threads... all is good...

 I am using some of Michelle"s stitchery patterns in the larger areas...

this is what is coming to the hospital with me while I wait for the grandie to be born 

( I am the support person)

All Is Well...

All is well..

It looks like all fires are out for the moment, it is very hot here today and a breeze... 

crews are moping up and patrolling 

and

there are crews replacing power poles...

We are very lucky that it stayed on the other side...

DD1 baby hasn't made an appearance yet.

Thank you for your concerns and love

Fire...

The Perth fire started not far from us...

It is just awful and still raging tonight...

below is a link to a photo gallery.

What Has Been Happening...

Firstly Happy New Year

 Doesn't time fly when you are having fun (busy with family)

What a laugh Christmas morning started out as.....

WHO forgot to get the turkey out of the freezer the night before and remembered about 10am????

yeah that would be the ''chief cook and bottle washer"......

yep it got to be soaking for a few hours in the sink hahaha

 BUT look no dramas... 

everyone was finally fed and full of turkey and pudding

 the veggie patch has been quite prolific this past few weeks

 even grew this beauty

 this was the pick Tuesday morning

 YEP even the human watermelon came out of the "cabbage patch"

That is DD1 who is staying with us at the moment and she is due any time now...

This is my wonderful parcel that was the "something under the tree"

 Love love love this little bag that was in there as well

 truly spoilt I was... thank you Marcia...

and

 this is my spending spree at Spotlight last week while they has a bit of a sale...

some work ahead for me now...
