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.

Pure Cotton Washcloth or Dishcloth!

I crocheted these while watching the television the last couple of nights. So Easy to make and a real pleasure to use. If you would like the pattern it can be found on my Free Patterns page. Enjoy!

In Our Vegi Patch Today!

Just had to take this pic of our vegetable patch, can't get over the size of the pumpkin leaves, they seem to be taking over everything else, even the sweet corn which is reaching for the sky. And our poor tomatoes are in there somewhere, not to mention the peas and beans. Oh well, I guess I would be complaining if non of them had grown but I think we will have pumpkins coming out of our ears for the next twelve months. Lol... Unlike most vegi patches, ours is at the front of the house, it's the only free space we have, our backyard is taken up with orchid houses and where we have our bbq area.

 

 

Lani's Hat!

Spent a couple of hours today on Lani's hat, I couldn't find a pattern that I liked so I designed my own pattern, just a simple design and here it  is!
                                                         On the way

                                                         Nearly there.

                                                         A little flower

                                            The finished hat.

Long time WIP Finished!

At long last I have finished a work in progress so I guess that means it is no longer a WIP Lol... I don't know why I didn't finish this off well before now, I only had to finish off the neckline and thread the ribbons through. Not such a difficult task one would think. Well.. At least she is finished now, so here she is...  TA Da! She is made of celluloid and was made in the thirties I think? Anyone know the exact year  these dolls were made? Shame she doesn't have her original clothes but at least she is decently covered now Lol..

                                                      Isn't she lovely??
