Pretty flowers

Pretty flowers in my garden 

And some not so pretty that I painted 



This was a steep learning curve. I nearly gave it up. But my wonder teacher Judie and classmate maree kept encouraging me. It’s way better than when I walked into class 

I learnt lots and I didn’t give up

I’m happy about that 

Moving along

I’ve been busy with appointments for the last few weeks 

Most of them medical. Still trying to get to the bottom of what happened that night I had an ambulance ride to the hospital 

I have been trying to get the house spring cleaned. Unfortunately as soon as it got dry enough to go outside the weather has once again turned cold, windy and wet 

I wanted to use up all my scraps and off balls of yarn and this C2C is definitely doing the job. 

I want it really big so once I’m out of scraps and the odd balls of yarn I’ll dig into my stash. 

The way this spring is going I’m going to need a big blanket to wrap myself to keep warm. 

Currently have no spilt firewood so we are using the central heating 

Other than that life is just moving along pretty much as always 

Not complaining. I actually prefer it that way 

Not so tech savvy

Just a quick note to let you know if I use my phon to comment on my or your blog it comes up as anonymous 

I have no idea how to fix this issue. So if I comment on your blog I’ll type my name 

If I’m answering on my blog. Then just assume it’s me 

Sunny Sunday

Walking around my gardens and everything is sprouting new growth 

The fruit trees got pruned hard we have sacrificed this years fruit for stronger trees 

The new dwarf orchard is coming along nicely. 

We will definitely cover these. We think possums are getting over the fence to munch on the yummy leaves 



The chickens enjoying some free ranging and getting the grass down for us 



The roses have come back yet again. Hopefully by Melbourne cup weekend we have beautiful blooms 



My bulbs. The daffodils haven stopped flowering 

And now the tulips are taking their turn. 



So far today. One girl obviously thought Sunday was a no stress day lol 

There were a few girls in the nesting boxes so I’m sure I’ll get a couple more eggs today. They really are providing us with plenty of eggs 



There is so much happening in the garden 

So I’m sure you will get lots more pictures in the coming days 

What’s growing in your gardens?

Cardio day

Saw the cardiologist today 

They did blood pressure and wired me up for an ECG. I think? 

And they were fine. 

So he’s given me a script for a non statin cholesterol tablets 

I can’t take the others. I’m allergic 

For home quick from appointment, it’s great now specialists have started setting up practices here.

It’s a quick trip In, a short wait, and then back home again. 

Since getting home I’ve been cooking up a storm 

To use up all the eggs I’ve made an egg and spinach pie for he boys lunch 

I had so much filling I actually was able to make two 

Then I made a big batch of savoury mince meat. With lots of yummy veggies fresh from my garden 

And some that were frozen  from last summer.  

The mince is from our paddocks too 

The day is now sunny and nice. 

I’ve opened doors and windows to let some fresh air in 

I’ll go and get my meds later this afternoon and I might visit a local nursery to see if they have any plants I want. 

Enjoy your day whatever you do 

Resting

Today we let the fire go out. We have almost run out of split wood. We have more to be split but it’s in the middle of a big mud bog. 

I can turn on the ducted heating but I’m going to hold off until later. 

I’m sitting under one of my mosaic blankets and working on a simple C2C. I’m using up all the odd bits and pieces. Once I’ve run out of those I’ll use up the the balls of yarn that I only have one or two off. 

I’m going to try and make it as big as a queen bed. So I’ll see how I go. 

If I have to use yarn from my stash I will. 

I have a big stash lol 

It’s starting to drizzle outside 

So I’m definitely staying put. I’m nice and warm and I have Netflix. I’ll be ok for a while 

The big reveal

Now the baby blanket has gone to its new home I can show you what I made 

It’s for a baby boy.  So I decided puppies would be nice 

The blue and white parts are bones for the puppy to chew on lol 

Can you see the dogs. I think they’re Scotty dogs. 

My masseuse, Sue, asked me to make her some more bowl cosies 

Her brother and her best friend have both tried to steal the ones I made her. 

She’ll be gifting them these for Christmas 

I really need to trim and finish my scrap quilt. It’s been waiting for months. 

But it’s so big I know I’m going to hurt my back pushing and pulling it through the machine. 

I guess I just have to bite the bullet, so to speak, and just get it done.
