Following the Brisbane River

 We travelled along the Linville Forestry Road & crossed various parts of the Brisbane River 36 times - no I didn't count them - they were conveniently marked.  The dingo was the only wild wildlife we saw.  There was a fair bit of gravel road & we ended up with a flat tyre.......changed by HofM & then fixed by a nice man in Murgon.

Esk - textile art

 Last week we headed off for a drive - not sure where we were going but had to end up at Childers.  First stop was Esk - home of the Kransky Sisters (sadly not sighted) & the Nash Gallery & Cafe.  This piece of Ephemeral Art was on the fence.  Food was good too.

I have been sewing..............

 One of my WIPs - batiks -  wedding quilt & it's not even 12 months since the wedding!  Still sewing all the blocks together - pattern by Jane Rundle http://quiltingjane.blogspot.com.au/ that featured in Down Under Quilts, Issue 159, 2013 http://www.practicalpublishing.com.au/down-under-quilts/ a while ago. Who knows - maybe they'll get it before their first anniversary............maybe!

Chook update

First double-yoker - the egg was huge compared to their normal sized ones!

 The theme was bees!  Not sure why - yellow everywhere.  Family portrait with the cake.

 Hey Mum!  What do I do with this???????

 Oooh - you eat it!

This grandma had the shoes for the event!  Bought in Sydney last year - who knew they would be just right!

Christmas trees

This was a really quick Christmas decoration to make - ended up making around 25 for Christmas Day - each with a name & used as a place-card. So simple & all machine work.  The first one has beads but that takes time so gave into speed!
