Back home

We are back home again after a lovely break and some warm weather but we have been reminded about how cold it can be. Hopefully it will not be too long before we start to feel the spring and see the blossoms come out. A sight I always enjoy.
We went inland up to the Undara lava tubes and as far north as Cooktown then back down the coast doing some of the touristy things along the way.

Memories

I also took time to do a little shopping and collect a few memories. Since I have been back after catching up on the garden and a few other things I had to make the pattern that I bought while away.

I thought he was really cute. The pattern is from Pauline at Funky Friends Factory and she designs and makes patterns for all sorts of animals.

 

Little Hayley my GD has also been visiting each afternoon after school now and also wanted to make something, so a small bag was made under her instructions and of course she wanted to use the machine to sew. The bag was then a show and tell item at school the next day, although not finished quite the way I would have liked but not to worry, she liked it and the books fitted in the bag.

 

 

 

Holiday time

Well the van has come out of storage now so that I can start packing and get ready to get away. We are going for a trip to North Qld, we have not been there yet so looking forward to  the trip. Hopefully we will have some warmer weather, the mornings have been a bit on the chilly side here although not as cold as it can be.

 

This is a braid quilt I made from a jelly roll, it is very long as I could not decide which fabrics to leave out from the jelly roll.

 

This was the view from the front of the house one morning when we had a frost.

 

Next trip

Hello all, I have not been posting much these days as I have been trying to get organised to go away.
We are planning to go up to the Northern Territory and across into WA.  I have been trying to gather what information I could about what to see and do along the way. Hopefully I will be able to blog about our travels. I am also looking forward to having some warmer weather too.
