Waffle Pattern Bathroom Set!

This is a washer and back scrubber I made for my sister. The pattern for the washer is on my Free Pattern page if you would like to make it. I haven't as yet written out the pattern for the back scrubber but I will try to get it done shortly. You may share this pattern but please acknowledge my link.

Orchid Society Fun Day!

Sunday was the annual fun day for launceston Orchid Society held at Trevallyn dam and state reserve. A lovely day was had by all that attended and the weather was good to us until almost the last minute. We took along our gazebo for extra shade (or rain protection) which worked out really well. Lots of good food and good company and some fun moments with a trivia quiz that had us all laughing. Very enjoyable over all, looking forward to the next function.

Visitors to our garden!

Our flowering gum tree is just coming into full flower and haven't we been blessed. Little visitors from the wild, beautiful little parrots come to sample the nectar in the blossoms. We are awoken early every morning by the chatter of these lovely little birds. Not easy to see amongst the green foliage and the red blossoms so you will have to play 'hunt the parrot' to see them. they are mostly green with a little bit of yellow under their wings and a little red patch on the side of their heads so they blend in really well with the  tree. Look carefully and I think you will find them!! :))

                                             Having a  look around

                                            Safe to have a sip of nectar.

                                              A bit of upside down work here.

                                             A good view.
