CREATIVE BEGINNINGS

Keep watching this space to see how these items come together to make a Quilt cover and 2 pillow cases.

Welcome House Guest

I found this little Gecko Lizard inside the house.  We have thousands of skinks outside but these Gecko's are much rarer.  This one is quite small - very cute!

Apple and Blackberry Pie

We so love having a Bakery Student!  (Blackberries are almost coming to an end now).

Set in Stone

Rod has so many skills and lots of patience.  The latest talent we have discovered that he has is wall building.  He would rather be working with sawn stone blocks but at 4 x's the price we have opted for random Basket Range sandstone set in Brighton Lite Concrete. I love it and can't help but dream of more areas where we can define the garden with these rustic but attractive walls.  Rod's dream is to finish this current project and have a break from wall building.

Flowers for Julie

Pittosporum Irene Paterson, Alstromera seed heads, Rosa Francis Dubreuil, Sacred Bamboo & Hydrangea

I spent the afternoon with Julie -  sipping tea and enjoying Julie's homemade Lemon-meringue-pie whilst looking out onto her beautiful front garden from under the veranda.  So much to admire and yet another source of inspiration.  Of particular note for this visit is how her garden border out the back has progressed.  Such a kaleidoscope of colour and a variety of plant shapes and forms makes for a very pleasing effect. The front of the border is shaped with serpentine curves and a break part way along provides a gravel path which will lead to a stunning gate (yet to be installed but I have seen it in storage) with a well placed conifer on each side of the path.  This garden is obviously a great source of joy to Julie and such a credit to her as it is not only beautiful but also very large.

Where's Asher?
