Tongala Market tomorrow....






















I managed to get a few things ready to add to the stall tomorrow. I must admit it did help that Leigh has gone to Phillip Is. for the Motorcycle Classics, so I only had me to look after....

A little bit of sewing...

I have been working on little Amelia's quilt and now have the top completed ready for wadding and backing. Poor baby she is now over 3 mths old and I am sure will be looking forward to going into her cot!!!









I have a quilt program, and I don't do traditional baby quilts, tending to go to bright unisex colours. Samantha helped picked the colours as well as the blocks.





I have also started another colourful tote to add to the Market stall.



This will be a simple strippy non-padded tote, easy to throw in the wash. The colours should be a bit more green, but the camera didn't show them that well.
I also find my camera shows mauve/purple as a blue colour.

Girgarre Market...

...was very hot. Although the Moosic Muster was on the buyers were not there.

Never mind, a day out, would have been stifling in the house. Too hot for the pool, but the spa was nice later on with a beer, not my traditional wine.
This photo was taken after it rained sometime ago. The canvas roof had an accident and has had to be replaced with some shadecloth in 4 triangle shapes. Not very successful but will suffice.

Amelia's Quilt progress...




Just a little update to say Amelia's quilt is progressing.


So am adding photos of blocks ready to join.

Felting for the Market...







While Leigh was taking his son visiting family before his trip overseas to work as a teacher in Europe, I was able to get some felting done for the Market this Sunday at Girgarre. It is also going to be very HOT!!!!

Gardening progress....

Last year gardening was put on the back burner a bit, so a non-producing,weedfilled garden was all there was. It has made me very distraught as I had such plans. Anyway some effort has put gardening back on the agenda, as has been previously blogged. Some production is occurring, and some weeding is being attempted. Due to a persistent back problem (spondylolithesis, grade 2)and many visits to the Chiro, it will take me quite a while. (It is also not very good for my crafting either, but we won't go there.)
So some photos of growing.....

....peanuts
.....tomatoes
