A bit of Cuteness

I had some fabric left over from making Jacey the little bag for her birthday, and knowing I have to get her gifts wrapped and posted off tomorrow or Tuesday in time for her 4th birthday this week... well, I decided to make her a skirt to match her bag

 

 

I managed to get made up pretty quickly and was so happy with how it turned out I decided to spoil her with this one as well................

Apart from sewing this afternoon, I did get into the garden this morning when it was a nice and sunny and got in some more potatoes, while Pete was busy in the vegie garden picking more of the peas........

And right now, the sunday roast is in the oven and I have a date and walnut loaf  I'm trying out........  Pray your Sunday evening is lovely,   Hugs, Sharm

A great day



Managed to get this little bag made today ready to send our little grand daughter Jacey for her 4th birthday next week!  It was one of those "make it up as you go" type of bags. 

 I wasn't sure which fabric to use, so I picked out a few from my stash, lined them up and took a photo on my phone, then sent it to my DIL to show to young Jacey and get her to pick out her favouite one! 

They live 3000kms away, so it's nice to be able to use technology at times to help shorten that distance :)

 

 

And since it's springtime in the garden, I thought I'd share some of my bulbs and pansies with you...... and yes, that is wood ash - I find it works really well when used as a pathway through my gardens!

In case this interests you...........

On a lovely Spring Day............

You just want to get outside and into the garden after that long winter with cold winds!

I decided the silverbeet that is now a couple years old and growing in a bunch in the vegie garden could come out....... And since it's mostly used for the chooks, it could maybe go in front of their yard.............

 

So out came the matic and the shovel...... I was surprised just how much was in the clump......

But at least it looks good now, and the chooks can nibble at it through the fence, and best of all, I don't need to head to the vegie garden first and then to their pen!

 

Cause that all meant Pete was kept busy fixing up taps and watering connections to ensure all the garden gets watered over the next few months........

 

 

Also managed to pull this little bird bath out that was hidden away in some bushes and fix it up where it can be used............. one of the local kookaburras has already been down to check it out this afternoon............. I'll have to share that photo another time since it's taken 4hrs to download these photos already......... ahhh the joys of living where you can't get good internet access!

 

 



Productive...........

I've managed to get the little crocheted footy rug finished - this one will be for our grandson Jaxson for Christmas.  Now you can't have 1 heading to a family of 3 grandies, so of course I'm now working on getting one made for both Jacey and Lil Jarryn! 







 Since Jace isn't too keen on footy, hers is getting made with typical "girlie" (and her favouite) colours..........

I'm still trying to track down a face washer with "the cowboys" (North Qld) footy team for Lil Jarryn, since that's his favouite team!

On a totally different note altogether............ for those who have been asking me to share about various things around the home including homestead binder and such....... I've put that over to a separate blog for now............. www.the7pillarshome.blogspot.com   

Hope you are all having a great weekend............ I'm heading out now to feed the local kookaburras
