some more randomness.....

I've been having a lovely time, over here in my little corner of blogworld.....

 

some more lovely quilts from the Sunbury Quilt Show... 

I LOVE minis.... and here is a whole display of them!

 

 an amazing 'Farmer's Wife' quilt

 

 another of my friend Carolyn's beautiful quilts

 

enjoying being at home...

 

a relaxing Sunday morning in bed with some knitting and my favourite magazines

 

 a delicious fruit loaf

 and some cheese & chive scones

 I really enjoyed this book

 

and this one

 

and browsing through this one

 

there has been some sewing...

catching up on my 'Market Day' quilt along sewing 

and watching...

a gorgeous series, I just love it
 

there have been beautiful sunrises...

 

and happy mail...

bought with birthday money, I have been waiting for this with

barely-contained excitement.....

 

and lunchtimes from work spent at home having something
warm and yummy to eat ~

 some delicious risotto - I am so lucky that my job is only 5 minutes from home 

life is good.....

a bit of randomness.....

I need to delete some photos off my camera, so today as I was going through them, I found quite a few to share that had not been on my blog previously -

fun Halloween decorations last year, outside my favourite house in Gisborne (not mine, sadly!)

an amazing and beautiful sunset

 the beach at St Leonards - on holidays with Sue

 flower mini I made last year and sent to Maria, in Cheryll's swap

a get together of blogging and sewing friends in April - much hilarity was the order of the day

 taken on the same day with a few of us ladies from the Mill Rosies group

my gorgeous nephew playing basketball -

just about my most favourite activity for the week is to watch his basketball games

my gorgeous boy

you may not know that Ollie also comes to work with me... in his basket next to my desk at work and looking very handsome, having just been to the groomer

my sister's and niece's gorgeous dog Scout... she has the most beautiful and affectionate nature

a delicious lunch last weekend.... home made vegie soup and a cheesy toastie on a cold day

  

 ... and some delicious afternoon tea, a homemade banana cake just out of the oven...

being the nature geek I am, I loved this beautiful lichen on a tree at work
