A new fence

There have been some changes in my front garden this week. The side fence has been held up by the covering of ivy for a number of years. Recently the fence began to lean and we decided that it was finally beyond repair.

Although the ivy looked green and cool, and was not at all affected by the drought it had to go along with the old paling fence.

There were a few days with no fence at all. Then up went the new colourbond fence.

A load of mulch and a few hours work and the garden was looking much better.

Our gardening frogs even look happy!!!!!

Back on holidays

How time flies. It has been awhile since I posted on my Blog!
Term 4 was a busy term. I am now into holiday mode and beginning to get back to some sewing.

I recently collected a quilt from our local quilter, Elizabeth. I was so excited and very happy with the result. I have began to bind it, so it will be completed soon.

The garden is surviving, it is nice to be home to enjoy it.

The kids and I went to the Melbourne Aquarium to see the new Penguin display, well worth the visit.

There are a few sewing days being organized over the next couple of weeks, so I hopefully will progress with a few sewing projects.

Perfect weekend for the garden

I have spent a lovely weekend working in the garden. The lawn is mowed, some plants are trimmed, the compost has been used and the wine barrels have been filled, ready for planting!!!

It is nice to have caught up a bit.

No sewing or crafting undertaken, although I did collect my friendship quilt from our local quilting lady, Elizabeth. I am very pleased with the result - I would never have got it finished if I quilted it myself. I have to decide the best colour to bind it, not sure - any ideas?

While I was there I dropped off the stitchery quilt, now I am looking forward to getting that one completed also.
