The Sorting of Buttons

Slowly my sewing drawer is becoming organised.  I can't help myself, the sorting of buttons into colours is more about  seeing the different colours arranged side by side, pleasing the eye than the convenience of finding a button.  There is no way I will ever use all these button that I inherited from my mother-in-law.
Talking about buttons I have a sister who has a button phobia - she won't buy or wear anything which has buttons.  She would be the last person to ask to sew a button back onto a garment.

How Cute is This?

Caramello alias Taun Taun found the handle of this cup to be quite tasty!

Just Like a Bought One.......

Aly has started her Certificate in Bakery at Regency Park.  It is amazing how much they have cooked already.  Most of their produce goes to the shop on campus which is probably a good thing for our health.  Occasionally they can bring home an item for sampling - like the marble cake pictured.  Good work Aly - it tastes good too!

Look Closer

When I first saw this I thought it was the remains of a broken off tree branch, not so.  It was in fact a Tawny Frogmouth.  I got up quite close and took lots of photos, and all the time it stayed perfectly still. 

End of Aggie Season

Now starts the process of dead heading all of my agapanthus plants.  I will have to undertake it over a few sessions as there are so many.  Must make a mental note not to plant any more.
