This Week

I've  got my ipod on as I write this post, occasionally I have to stop and play the piano along with Jackson Browne, or sing along with Van Morrison and Rod Stewart and other favourites I also play drums!

So bear with me, we may take a while!!

We have been very busy this past week:

The fish are finally back in their home! They are so so happy again!

Flowers are starting to bud up for the cooler weather

This gorgeous little orchid raised it's head and smiled!

This coleus is so gleaming red! Of course you can't see the weeds can you?

I've been doing some sewing - I am making 5 of my gypsy bags for daughters and grand daughters!

See the bag under the pillow? It's FULL of scraps!! I told you I had a lot! ( and there's still more - but i'm not showing!!) 

I'm making a pillow cover  out of these spare parts

the bags are all assembled for the outside, now i do need to buy some metres for the linings - I was going to scrap it all but I just don't have time, I don't think.

Saturday Snapshots

Just a few shots of the garden - the weather is just so hot and humid at the moment, it's like a sauna outside through the day.  Can't do anything out in the garden until the sun drops in the evening

The blood lily has some lovely growth on it now

Our baby ferns get bigger every day

If you look closely, you can just see the flower buds of my Bali Whirl frangipani starting! Can't wait to see those lovely double flowers!

 The orchid is sending roots both up and down and around the palm, and is throwing new shoots out with gay abandon.

The fountain has been re-assembled, now for the water.  Boy, our fish are really holding a grudge against us, they won't come out to say hallo at all, even when I feed them in their makeshift home.  I hope they get over this nonsense when they get back in their forever home again...
