Sorry about the quality of the photos in this post - I lost the light and the camera flash came on. I have been working, albeit slowly and between bouts of the 'flu that everyone else has had and going to work of course.

This is another of the Jelly Roll quilts that seem to be taking off.

Here's a quilt that I gave back to it's owner today...............

As per usual there is an element of rule work to create the boundaries and then just fill it all up with feathers.

Thankfully the owner liked it.

There are a few things that have changed around here

The before photo and ........

the after photo. All in preparation of the first day of school.

The middle Sweetie, now named the Hostel Boy. Doesn't he look gorgeous? I asked for him to put on his school uniform so that I could take this. He now sleeps four nights a week at a residential college attached to a Senior High School ~90kms from here. Still gorgeous and lovely, just a bit further away than normal.

When we were at Two Peoples Bay here is what came out of the underbrush to share our lunch. Superb creature who was very focused on what we were eating and he didn't get any. We ate it all.

Sitting on the foreshore at Albany's Princess Royal Harbour, this was our view one night. It was a magical sight, somewhat lessened in this photo.

This is where I work as a gardener - there is much work to be done. However, it will slowly take shape and become the lovely garden that it was.

The two birthday people in our house very kindly shared a birthday cake so I didn't have to make two. A banana cake fresh from the oven.
