Guilty...

Are you guilty of this?
 Yes there is a chair under there! A chair that came with us from the station that was my FIL's that he had a "Grandad Nap" in every afternoon... so I claimed it for my sewing room...
 so that I could sit in it and stitch or crochet under my ''quilter lamp".............
wellllllll I can actually say that has never ever happened in 2 years!!!
so a little action was needed...
DD1 bought me some gorgeous fabrics when she went to Bali about 5 or so years ago... 
last year I washed and ironed them to make some pants and...... that's were it stopped... 
but during the week I made..........
 two pairs of comfy pants and sewed some of the other fabrics into sarongs........
 DD2 purchased some fabric's from Spoonflower for wraps for her new baby... well Lawson is 13 weeks old tomorrow... I have backed them with flannel and putt a binding around them... they are so soft and will have a 101 uses... lucky Lawson is still little and the weather is still cool...
 another piece was made into a large cradle sheet...
 fresh from the garden...
 home alone Friday night... mini pedi... and a change of colour... Aubergine...
 yesterdays cuddles with this Big Man
 still guilty but looking a little less piled high.... 
wink wink wink

Spring Has Sprung...

The garden around Lower Wondinong is starting to look quite pretty...
I have had these Iris bulbs in a big pot for many years
but this is the first year they have looked so spectacular...
must be the change of climate as they were huge.
 the Flowering Plum or Peach tree is just as gorgeous as last year.
 the veggie patch is better this year... we are learning what grows better and when
and we added more soil and loads more sheep poo when the boarder can bring it home...
 some of the ranunculi' from last year have popped up

the rose bushes are getting leaves and a few tiny buds
 the Marguerite daisies don't seem to be doing so well... so they have been pulled up and I have been replacing them with some Osteospermum
 I spied this white Iris in the garden yesterday...
 and speaking of spring... 
the cubby needs a spring clean on the outside, my job tomorrow...
