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.

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
