This morning it was 10C here far to cold for me I wanted to stay in bed and play with my new Ipad  that arrived yesterday; hubby gave it to me for my birthday , I went down to the beaches to have coffee with my girl friend who has just come back from Turkey and I’m now the proud owner of a lovely pair of silver earrings from Turkey

Silver Earrings from Turkey

another Birthday present I have been spoilt this year.  By 10am down there it was a lovely 25C much more my temperature thank you.  We had the fire on again last night and this is meant to be the tropics??????? When I arrived back up here I cleared the mail and there was another lovely parcel from a girlfriend of 40 years with 1/2 dozen lovely  underwear but I won’t share that photo with you!!!!!!

As I drove up to Kewarra Beach the Paddy Melons

Paddy Melons click to enlarge and see them all under the tree as well.!!!!!!

( A small Kangaroo that lives around here) were all out eating in one of the empty blocks I drove past, so I drove back and took a photo of them for you. They are wild but live quite happily here with the horses eatting their pellets for them as well as their grass ?????

Small Kangaroo's and horses beside the main road.

There are houses all around these empty blocks.

Yesterday I was given a delightful scissor

Scissor and needle holders from a county fair, the embroidered stiches used for Pins and needles is soooo fine.

and needle holder from my lovely friend Pat who had been to her granddaughters wedding and while down in Brisbane 1000ks away they visited a county fair and she brought these back for me for my Birthday.

Embroidery on inside of Needle case gives a lovely touch to a lovely wee gift.

I have been working on another Annabelle block

Annabelle wearing one of her sun hats and playing with balloons ?????

these are so delightful to make she is the cutes wee Bunny.

I brought home a blue felt hat from the Opp Shop last week and cleaned it up then cut it up in to Forgetmenot flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the start of my blue forgetmenots maybe??????

I’m tossing up whether the felt is to heavy or not?????? I want to use this block for a carry bag as a gift to take to Japan.

I’m still spending a lot of time in the garden

Unusual ground flowers

A new orchid just opened to day
