This photo shows the grass plants we purchased yesterday to go at the front entrance. I actually planted them straight away.

flinders st station

For Dave and James a little bit of Melbourne for you, just in case you feel homesick.Along with the 40 degrees we are getting this week.

flinders st photos

View from cafe at Federation Square melb, new versers old buildings on Flinders St. The contrast of the buildings was what captured my eye so i just had to take a photo.

visit to raaf musuem

This photo looks like the kids are actually in a plane but they are seated watching a tv and the plane is a picture on the wall next to them.

hibiscus flower

We have been sweltering in 38-40 degrees this week.So are not venturing away from the airconditioner or paddling pool much. This flower has been taken from my garden and is a hibiscus that comes up each year and then flowers for one day and goes away until next summer.

quilt art challenge 2006 so far

this is my quilt design so far, no teacups yet but they will be placed on the tablecloth. The original photo had teacups in a timber box. Hence the brown timber border. It also meant rural or country to me.The greenery is of the mt bogong and surrounding hills. The view from my parents house. The cane chair , to sit on and view the scenery of a tea party on the decking looking over the mountains. I have made this up using photoshop and illustrator programs. My first attempt.

Having a nice quiet holiday at home

We have had a few quiet days at home. Much needed. We have put up the pool in the back yard and hopefully the next couple of days will see it well used. Currently working on my ART QUILT CHALLENGE.Will put up my ideas shortly that i am currently creating. Only 4 weeks to go till i go back to TAFE , so much , so little time to do it all in.
Have a lovely day.

The whiteboard with Hugh's drawings on it. Thank you Pete for putting it up.

Welcome Belle and Chris to my blog site. I think you can add comments at the bottom of my blogs entries , under the comment word, now that you are signed in. But I'm not sure how well it works.I was trying to upload a photo but it does nt want to work.

friday 6th January 2006

Todays events included.Buying a new white board and cork board for the kitchen walls. Husband has kindly put up the whiteboard. The cork board is to go above the creative clutter i call a desk.So I can hang reminders all over it and works in progress.
Also playing with my computer and creating digital scrapbooked pages of our new years holiday to Lakes Entrance. Kids played around home, Toby spent the afternoon on the playstation with his friend and Hugh sat in his paddling pool cooling off.

The orange project finally

Here it is , but I had to photograph what I had done on the computerusing photoshop to keep the file small.Photos are from our recent trip to Lakes Entrance, sunset , new years eve at Lakes,canoe by the river, fireworks new year eve, orange balls are from boats at Lakes, tshirt is my 4 yr old.Nets are fishing nets and the other 2 objects are a mug and a sandpit sieve from home.I'm baffled why a photoshop image would not post here.??
Happy evening to all.
