Desperate sewing and lamp love

Luckily the skies were grey again today.

 It was way too cold to be gathering more gum tree seedlings as planned so 

I have been sewing like a madwoman. It's a birthday quilt for Flynn and it needed to be pinned and quilted.  That's what I should have been doing instead of making cushions! 

(The plate and the vintage wooden cotton reels are just for show!) 

I will post a proper photo when Flynn receives it in a couple of weeks time.....Mmmm, that's how long it takes for them to receive our mail!



Bill headed out early this morning to start moving the sleepers from the kitchen garden. But it started to rain and that was that!

One good thing about grey days is that you can turn all the lamps on without feeling guilty.
 I love lamps and they have been lighting up the gloom all day.

 I managed to dash out at one stage and take a photo of this orange ( or is it scarlet?) rose, name unknown. It looked so bright out there on such a bleak day.

Dad was having the time of his life doing his own brickwork when Luke called in on them yesterday! We have no idea how he managed to get down and remove those bricks....the first two rows had become a bit wonky and needed to be re laid. 
Good job Pa!

Stay warm everyone.
