May and June Round Up

Some sunshine and gardening has kept me away from the sewing machine again these past two months.

Holidays - A long weekend to the Queensland Gold Coast to stay at Sea Word Resort with day trips into Sea World, WB Movie World and Wet n Wild fun parks.



Quilt - Polaroid 9 Patch. Blocks made by Quilt Club Australia Bee #1 members plus a couple of generous other bees - Waverlee and Christie.



Blocks - Dr Seuss, midcentury modern by Wombat Stew and Bee blocks.


Chooks - Two new layers, winter coats, curiosity, warm porridge, egg stashes, excavating in the gulley and pumpkin patch.



Harvest - avocados, davidson plums, mandarins, pecans, limes and oranges.
Planting - peach, pommegranate, orange, mandarin, daffodils, fresias, sweet peas, grevillias, pumpkins and sweet potato.



Weed Control - even in the cooler months there are many areas to tackle.

Books -  I have reached my goal of reading 13 books in 2013. You can read my reviews on Goodreads

  4. Not the worst things to keep you away from the machine! I've really enjoyed this picture round-up. Your harvest has left me all hungry and salivating. Best to have brunch now and boil some of my gran's chicken's eggs for dippy egg and soldiers...
