My apologies if you don't like looking at cats but too bad, this one was just way to cute not to share.....sitting in the sunlight taking a drink from the dripping hose. We keep the gardens going with recycled waste water and a little drink of tank water now and then. Norman likes to take advantage of the opportunity to help himself.
When the girls visited Sydney for bloss's birthday, they had these done......I just looove them, look at their cute little noses. Moo thinks she looks like an old lady with her hair in a bun.

I found them when I cleaned out the five thousand photos and copies of photos I had stored on my hard drive, how mad is that?? Now I have copies on a memory stick, the 'new age' photo album. That's even madder....
How fabulous is a long weekend? We had a fairly busy one with the obligatory trip to Bunnings and some gardening on Saturday, including a new little garden with two camellias, so pretty. On Sunday we headed off to Stanthorpe with some friends for a spot of wine tasting. It was a glorious Autumn day, we didn't do a lot of wine tasting but really enjoyed some of the other delights the region has to offer. Mt Stirling olives is worth a stop if you're ever in the region. We had the best lunch at Thunderbolt Farm with our Austrian host, Claudia. The meals were traditional & HUGE! Then off to the Bramble Patch for a boysenberry ice-cream before we headed for home, worn out but very satisfied. LSH played golf yesterday afternoon so I finished a client quilt.
One of my favourite things in the whole world is have a chat with a friend over a tea or coffee but I usually drag the 'everyday' mugs out of the drawer - it's a habit. Why don't we use our pretty china more often? Fear of breaking it I guess but it's such a beautiful thing to do and I'm sure it makes the brew even more enjoyable. With this in mind, I've been working on my latest little embroidery design "Taking Tea". I hope to have the finished project ready at the end of this week, but here's another peek..... And, another pattern means another giveaway!
happy stitching,
Cheryl xx
