I'd like to say it's spring here and that summer is booming around the corner, but sadly we are just about to head into the cooler winter months. Walking the hill face last weekend felt like a spring day, even the butterflies were flitting about as if to agree with me. Lovely spring colours from the eucalyptus trees also set about to fool me.Our seasons always feel so mixed up here in Australia. Often we will get unseasonalably hot weather in spring and new plantings will suffer in the heat, wilting in duress to the torturous beating of the suns rays. I often wonder and admire in amazement at how my green thumbed friends can maintain their gardens....but we all know that their success is often due to mulching and regular watering (both of which I am not predisposed to doing) So I fail miserably in the garden. If it cant stand on its own legs with minimal support, then it is just going to die in my garden.</div>

My splashes of colour come from sewing . I may not sew seeds but I can certainly string piece bits of material to produce cushions by the dozens (or as many as my back will allow me to sit at my sewing machine)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My latest effort is entirely from my off cut bag, left overs from a quilt. Just enough for two cushions in similar colourways but opposing directions.</div>

</div>
Looking back over my spartan offerings of the last few months I realize that I haven't included any real coverage of all my crafty activities . I have entered a few swaps in this time and they have generated spin off projects.<br />
Cushions abound in my makings. The swap process is a great stimulus to create new projects and to be inspired by other peoples work<br />
I had always admired the pattern for the feathered star but hadn't had the impetus to actually try it. Now having completed one I am keen to complete a few more of these cushions in other colourways. This cushion took a while to complete as I decided to hand stitch the quilting.<br />

Another project that I have always considered doing is English paper piecing EPP. This one is made almost entirely from my scrap bag. Hand stitched entirely whilst I was home for 2 weeks with a back injury it filled in the moments when I was able to sit up. The cushion was influenced by all the colourful activities of my fellow swappers on IG in the #PCSWAPAS where a myriad of colour and shapes formed beautiful cushions which are highly covetable.<br />

that's enough I think. Sorry if you've seen this all before on IG but I thought I should get back into the habit of having a chat here again. Although IG is instantaneous it lacks the flow of conversation and thought but it does make an easy method of cataloging activities with little effort.<br />

Hello~I feel I need an echo. Hello!<br />
<br />
Yes it has been awhile. I lost my voice, or at least penmanship. Generally a lack of motivation to hit the keys and in particular to take the time to up load photos. By the time I actually get around to having a chit chat about events it feels so old and stale that its just ho hum. Do you feel this way?<br />
<br />
The birds apparently couldn't care less what I did. Totally absorbed in soaking up the rays whilst lounging around on deck. I drove my daughter to Middleton yesterday for a surf (school holidays here) and did not want to sit on the beach due to the fact that my back has been out of alignment this past week. So I headed to the next town ,Goolwa, in search of fabric for an Amy Butler mini quilt swap. Of course I headed in the wrong direction and ended up across the Murray River on Hindmarsh Island. Well I was there so I might as well stop and take a few photos. Such a tourist. There is plenty to see if you head to the Coorong but I was limited in time so restricted myself to accessing the waterways near the bridge which had a few reed beds and a lookout area in close proximity.<br />
<br />
The stumps are part of the old crossing by ferry/barge, which was the only means to access the island until the bridge was built. I remember crossing the river with the family and car on holidays, in some ways it was the highlight of the trip being pulled across the Murray by cable.<br />

What would the Murray River be without pelicans. On the way down to Middleton we saw a formation of pelicans in flight, truly magnificent to see. Pity I was unable to pull over to snap a few pics.<br />

By the time I get round to writing - it is old news. So to all those whom follow me on instagram there will be some old news.<br />
That being said I also have photos from my visit to the South Australian Art Gallery which currently has a showing of Magic Objects. If you love fantasy and in particular in the form of blown glass then you will enjoy the fantasy workings of Adelaide born glass blower..Tom Moore<br />
Also not to be missed as part of the exhibition , which is being held over several sites in Adelaide city is the Museum adjacent to the Adelaide Uni West Campus.<br />

The last day of summer saw it come to a dramatic end here in Adelaide. A humid yet hot day came to a close with darkening skies and the intermittent rumble of clouds clashing in the distance. I watched the clouds thicken and grey on the beach at Somerton as my daughter trained with the surf life saving team. It promised to rain with the look of these thick dark clouds but alas nothing that afternoon. An hour later after training and having served dinner I looked out to see a dramatic yellow sky. I grabbed the camera and headed to the beach in the car - all the time cussing the slow drivers impeding my journey - I could see this most spectacular sky but couldn't photograph it! I arrived at last light. Raiin drifts sweeping across the ocean and the occassional flash of lighting. Another photographer arrived at Kingston Park look out , he was better prepared for night photography coming with stand in hand.<br />

I did profess to be more of a point and shoot kind of gal and proceeded to take a few quick snaps and play with the knobs on my camera (namely setting it to night photography) No stand and delayed shutter speed - grainy photographs, but I quite like the effect.<br />

This is a stitchery I drew a few years ago and have only this week started. I thought I would make a Christmas quilt featuring in angels. The first is WISH. I wont show the entire panel but will give you snippets of it. I have joined a stitching group which meet once a month and had to find a project to do. I dont want to spend a lot of money on stitchery patterns and thought I might as well create my own.<br />
Despite having my own patterns and threads I still managed to out lay considerable funds on a new hoop and wonderweft to back my fabric, and of course a few extra colours to add to the collection.<br />

Well hopefully my stitching will become more uniform but for now I am enjoying the process of sitting and sewing. It is fun to see a drawing come to life with coloured thread<br />
Second panel started...PEACE<br />

As promised yesterday a finished pillow. It didn't take long to whip it up into a pillow this morning as all the hard work had been done.<br />
After making this my friend dropped round with bottle in hand so a little celebratory drink happened..any excuse will do. After she left I whipped up another feathered star top in just the central material (Kaffe) and some grey linen background and I enlarged it to 140% Which makes the new top about the size of a Europe pillow The size of the grey cushion below. I'll show that another day.<br />

This is a piece of driftwood that I picked up in Burleigh Heads on our Queensland holiday. Salted and roasted in the sun to an ashen grey on the outside, The wood is light and dry and when the outer layer is peeled back this spalted wood appeared. Pity about the hollow track a little deeper in. So after further shaving and much time...this grey and bent spoon appeared. I decided to keep the bend and the thickness of the wood in the handle with a tiny wee scoop up top. Big enough for a spice spoon. That being said I later decided to chop the length of handle in half so it could be used for that purpose. Now to find a piece of pottery to accompany this spoon's character</div>

And just because I dont have enough interests at the moment I decided to join a pillow swap on instagram organised by Little Island Quilting. For years I have loved the feathered star pattern and thought this would be a good opportunity to try it out. I would never make this in a quilt , too many fiddly bits, but a pillow is manageable. I must admit that I find joining points trying and my first attempt has lots of faults in the sewing execution but I still like it.</div>

Tomorrow I'll show the quilted version of the top but I haven't photographed it yet . Maybe by then the pillow will be constructed. Then I can make the real pillow (Without all the missed seams) I also thought I would enlarge the feathered star a bit so that I dont have to add extra strips to make a large enough pillow.<br />
Always plenty of options. Do you think this pillow fits in a vintage theme - this is what my swap partner has asked for. It certainly is a vintage pattern. Oh well I have plenty of time to play with ideas<br />
See you soon.

I bought this framed vintage car in an op shop and immediately thought about tearing it out of the frame and making a boys baby quilt out of it. Thank you very much to the maker, whom has painstakingly cross stitched this for me. Colour Inspiration- check, center focus - check , and left over triangles in brights already cut for me. Easy Peasy.. rip up an old sheet and quilt made in two afternoons. Got to be pretty happy with that! I put a running tacking stitch in red to give a little interest in the zigzag. One down , two girl quilts to go!<br />

That's my crafted lot!monique's messhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968784703510272928noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151936361024266820.post-25775057745952885662016-01-18T19:42:00.000+10:302016-01-18T19:46:12.982+10:30Berry NiceLooking at my arms tonight I see the shredded aftermath of blackberry picking. It made me think of Pink Floyd s song Learning to Fly,,, torn tied and twisted.. well that's what my arms are, but the words are tongue-tied and twisted. Pink Floyd really are fabulous story tellers and project a sense of dream in their songs. Blow you away at least until you are comfortable numb. A balm to the scratches and scars of life, drift to the echoes of drum and guitar on a river of words and music. FaBULOUS stuff and worth a revisit.<br />
<br />
This is not what I expected to be saying about blackberry picking.<br />
The picking, besides the barbs of the thorny bushes, is quite a serene event. I pick on the side of the road as cars go whizzing by. I dress for the occasion and look an awesome sight..... Said she in jest. I have this old long sleeve shirt in orange and thorny plucked jeans that I wear every time. The orange is so that if I fall in the bushes and disappear, and IF someone comes looking for me, I'll be easy to find.... all torn and twisted covered in blackberry stains and torn to shreds! I take a step ladder with me now (Well I did the last time I went ) and will never go without it again. It's amazing the berries you can reach with a little more height. The best of the bush is always out of reach ... but not anymore. Four and a half hours of picking...five buckets of 2.2kg each...major haul! I have now filled every jar I own with jam and have collected mum's supply of jars for jam making. I am also freezing berries and feeding the family fresh berries. And it is only the beginning of the season. More picking on the way providing the weather is not too hot and I can escape for the day!<br />

I love how the trees are supports for the brambles and berries drape from the trunks and branches. I'm sure its not ideal for the trees but it makes a pretty picture and ideal growing area in the shade for the berries...bigger berries<br />

These berries were ripe the next time I came picking... just waiting for me!<br />

A third of the month has past and not a word have I uttered...Firstly the warmest and best wishes for the new year. Better late than never, and you know I loves ya!<br />
Do you want excuses or should I just get cracking into to this most informative post that i am producing.<br />
Much and little has happened.<br />
Generally I think my life is ho-hum , just the general day to day stuff. Time whizzes by and I dont seem to do anything and then....yep, you guessed it, chaos and heightened activity (particularly when family arrive for Christmas) and there arent enough hours in the day to get it all done.<br />
<br />
The first of the year started off very early. My youngest had a cracking start at the cafe ' in Brighton with a 0630 hours start. Although my husband did volunteer the early morning drive, i was awake anyway and took her. Seeing as i was already up with the birds I decided it would be a good idea to take some photos down at the Patawalonga River.<br />
<br />
A very serene start to the new year or so you would think by looking at the glassy waters below<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two weeks ago I spent the weekend up in the Barossa Valley to attend a music festival "Day on the Green"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had actually written a post about it and lost it , somehow, when near completion. So I'm starting with the finish of the weekend and I may work my way backwards as time allows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I would start at Maggie Beer's Farm where her displays of produce in amongst the greenery and Christmas Cheer really made a welcoming sight. There was easily 50 tasting bowls with lovely goodies to taste and of course buy. Pickles , jams , spreads, glazes, ver juice, quince pastes ciders and the lists goes on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course we spent considerable time tasting almost each and everyone of the testers. They were continuously being refreshed so everything looked just lovely. </div>

Outside wandering around the property a peacock. Not particularly keen on being the subject of my photos as he kept running away<br />

In between working we snuck away to the Gold Coast for six days. David had a conference and Jordy and I tagged along for a mini break. I went for a wander around the Burleigh Heads conservation park again in hope of seeing some birds again foraging around the rocks but it wasn't to be this time. The tide was in too far so no sand was exposed for birds to fossick in. I collected a few pieces of drift wood, thinking that they may or may not make spoons. I am really not to sure how they will carve up. But one never knows until you try. It is a lovely walk around the headlands and just a little further around this corner the surfers launch themselves off of the rocks to catch the break. It is fun watching them carve up the waves (no matter how small)<br />

Surf fun in the sun for all those of you in colder climates. May I say that I am back in Adelaide and the temperature is currently in the mid 40s (degree C) so we are sweltering here. We are not called the driest state in the driest country for nothing. Even the ocean is beginning to warm up and going for a dip at the beach is not necessarily refreshing...roll in the cooler weather<br />

I went cockling on Saturday. You may well ask what this is and all I can tell you is that you dig in the sand on the shore line for shell mollusc that are great bait for fishing. The eastern Australians call them pippies and some people even find them good eating. That being said I didn't take one photo of the process because I was too busy getting saturated in the waves with my bum up in the air digging around.<br />
What I did take photos of was the path to the beach across the dunes, where I became entranced with the small things- weeds, they may be, but interesting when you look closer. Nature gives such wonderful shape and size to things. Everything has its own individual pattern and captures light in such delicate ways.<br />

Yep it's me again! An entire post of birds and mostly of the rainbow lorrikeets that hang in my neighbourhood. I've spent a week or so with my neck craned upwards looking at these noisy critters doing their thing in the neighbouring trees. They are chatty little folk that like to start having a natter outside my bedroom window at about 5 am in the morning. They are in full song before 6.30 am, so it doesn't allow for a lot of opportunity to sleep in when not heading off to work.<br />

<br />Finally I am back after a long break away. I was initially unwell with the world's grottiest (filthy)cold. It turned me into a spluttering mess and I actually resided in my bed for at least four days. I was off work for the week and managed to turn a few heads when I returned to work with my barking cough. That being said it was more viral than anything else, my nasal passages remained relatively clear of any green mucous..thankfully...but my head did suffer from headache/flu symptoms. Enough! Once recovered I have been slow to return to blogging. I have happily visited others but the effort required to actually start writing evaded me. My crafting efforts started off slowly but I am back to producing with gusto...finishing off and starting anew.<br />
<br />
I note I haven't as yet showed you the Tickle tank and will do so now.<br />
Wow it seems like so long ago that I went to Mount Barker to investigate a large water holding tank that has been converted by an artist couple into a home. The block of land that it stands on is not a large one, but the gardens that meander around the tank and the little nooks and crannies that are made into little outdoor rooms for sitting are lovely.<br />
<br />
As you enter the garden you find the blue room. mosaic water feature made from recycled goods<br />

There was plenty of noise outside tonight with birds screeching in the tree. I wandered outside to photograph them and only managed this one shot before the battery died in the camera. Note to self : recharge the camera after each expedition.<br />
I have actually been on several outings lately and haven't downloaded the photos (it takes such a long time) so I will probably show the rest later in the week.<br />
<br />
This tapestry cushion was actually finished weeks ago but I never bought fibre fill for the stuffing until last week and then took a really long time to find the time and place to photograph it.<br />
I actually stopped on the way home through the hills on the side of the road , after visiting the Tickle Tank (yes you can marvel at the name, but you will marvel more at the ingenuity of the owners that live in the tank. But that is a story for another day, as I have too many pictures to show you)<br />
<br />
Isn't this a beautiful tree? Peeling bark and surrounded by snowy white blossoms. i should have snapped a shot a la natural - Without the glaring intrusive colours of the cushion. That blue really stands out!<br />

The tapestry was originally a framed picture completed by my friend Pam. She had grown tired of it and was going to give it to an op shop but instead I snapped it up, ripped it out of the frame and then proceeded to add a lacy crochet border. This is the best kind of recycling,,, a quality product to start with and minimal effort on my behalf. I know that I would not willingly choose to spend the hours to complete the tapestry and finish it in this life time!<br />

Good food, good wine, a summery day and good company. What more could you want? Apparently you can ask your sisters friend to book you a table at Skillogellees Winery, Clare Valley for a table on the verandah when the wisteria is in bloom (This grand show is only available to a lucky few for 2 weeks of the year) Apparently we booked the last table on the verandah for that day. Not only does it look stunning it smells superb. I felt very decadent sitting and relaxing with these two and enjoying the gentle pulse of the day. After lunch we did a spot of wine tasting in the tasting area and then I snuck across the road to photograph the lovely wild flowers on the hillside.</div>

I love how nature manages to take hold in the oddest places and gradually loosens the permanency of man - eventually everything returns to rubble given enough time.<br />
No matter the grandeur of a structure , our presence here is only fleeting. I wonder what will you leave behind. I promise to leave a stack of quilts and crafted projects, and a pile of unfinished works! My crafty lady friends will have a field day riffling through the entrails of my accumulated crafted wealth.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have just had the pleasure of spending part of the long weekend north of Adelaide in a quaint country town of Hamley Bridge, SA on Clearview Farm with my sister and friend.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We arrived just before sunset and went for a stroll amongst the wheat fields to enjoy the glowing embers of the sun.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It really is mesmerising watching the stalks glow golden and sway with rustle of heads in the gentle breeze. The heads of wheat look healthy and will hopefully receive a few more doses of rain before the dry sets in and the heads mature. (This may not occur as we have already hit the mid 30's Celsius over the weekend and we are not halfway through Spring)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And</span><span style="font-size: large;"> the next day following the creek bed I spied a greater bird in the distant tree. - It's quite far away but I decided to zoom in and take a few shots as I moved in. Most birds get skitty and fly away as you approach if they dont recognise you as a regular visitor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was really surprised to see it was a white owl. And I just absolutely love the browed expressions over the eyes. I always thought this look was made up.</span><br />

The local schools and park have still a significant number of large gum trees despite many of the them being culled (they are considered a safety risk to children, falling gum tree boughs do occur frequently and unexpectedly). Anyway there is still enough to support a reasonable population of birds. It's a noisy place at sunset, a hive of activity with feeding birds (if not disturbed by human foot traffic).<br />
This raucous fella was most put out that I even dared approach at distance and put on quite a display so that I would not disturb his watering hole. The neighbours have left tubs of water out for the birds as there is a bought of early hot weather coming (well over 30) and it is only early spring,<br />

I decided I should back off and hid behind this tree and noticed in the next tree some lorrikeets flitting in and out of the y shape in the tree. It appears there is a hollow which is a nest and is occupied by more than 2 adult birds, - 3 that I could tell and I'm not even sure if they are the same breed - or maybe male and 2 females?<br />
