Mt Kaputar 01

We went to Mt Kaputar on Easter Saturday. We hadn't been for quite a while. It was nice & cool up there as usual! We had went for a walk then had lunch. The kids love walking in the bush. Elizabeth loves looking at maps & showing us where to go.

Camping

Image
Over the Easter weekend we go camping (most years anyway). We go out to P's cousins property & camp in the bush. This was the first time for SJ & we weren't sure she'd like it. See the smile on her face? It was there for most of the time we were there! She loved it. Early on she asked where the sink & bath were (the toilet had to be hurriedly put together when she needed to go!) She ran around most of the weekend with no shoes, playing in the dirt. We had to soak her feet on the last morning. It looked like she had a huge splinter in her foot - but it was just a cut that was full of dirt. The only bandaids we had wouldn't stick (I'd already proved that after I'd burnt my hand the day before), so she got her foot bandaged - she then ran around with 1 gumboot & 1 sneaker until I took her home. E & M love it too. The biggest attraction is the quadrunner. Fortunately they aren't big enough to ride them by themselves. SJ sits up front with who

1st December

The Trees We're in summer now, so the spring flowers are pretty much finished. If they weren't before they will be after the heatwave of the last couple of days!! This is a ponytail palm my hubby got a long time before we got married. It was originally in a pot  indoors until he planted it out. It's apparently unusual to have one with so many 'ponytails' & so many flower spikes on it. Pretty much every year we get at least this many flower spikes. Sometimes more - it depends if we've remembered to remove the dead ones from the previous year. Occasionally one of the branches rots - another one shoots up to replace it.

School Holiday Stitching

Image
This is the first school holidays in a while where we haven't had the whole 2 weeks filled with stuff to do! Yes we are away, but we are staying with family, my husband is working (he's working in Sydney for 6 weeks) and for the rest of us there's not much on the agenda. So there has been plenty of time for me to cross stitch and my 2 girls have been doing a lot of Diamond Dotz pictures. I finished my smallest project - the Iris kit I got from the op shop. I had some time waiting for medical appointments last week so was able to get a bit done then so just kept going until it was finished  It was a pretty dodgy kit! The needle was a normal sewing needle, the dark green wasn't on the pattern and then the hoop type frame that came with it didn't fit!! Irises are my favourite flower which is why I got it in the first place. I'll just find a hoop that fits it and finish it off that way. WIPS The Pioneer Country Threads Kit  http://www.countrythrea
