She did it!

Miss Claire from work reached her target of $2000 and followed through with shaving her hair for a cure! Part way through and she had an amazing mullet! The end result looks great, we told her it looks as though she shaved it for fashion! Wonder how she goes washing it for the first time!!

I was very spoilt and received some flowers today , I will really enjoy them.

So tired....

So tired I could sleep for a week! Even turning my alarms off for the morning. Please note cats that means you too! 4.40am is not acceptable!

Shave for a cure!

One of our gorgeous dietitians at work Claire is shaving her hair for a cure on Saturday. It is a fundraiser for the Leaukemia foundation. This is a charity that has been a huge support to our family over the last 10 months so I have been more than happy to be Claire's 'project manager'! We held a morning tea at work this morning to raise some extra $ to help her reach her goal which is $2000. I am not sure how much she made but think she may of got there when added to what she already had in sponsorship. I made chocolate brownie, caramel tartlets and cupcakes.

Luckily I think Claire will look ok bald!!

Busy hands...

When I saw Mum yesterday she handed over 2 quilts she has recently finished. The top one is from a pattern and fabric she bought on our trp to America. It is going to a special friend who has been very helpful with the 'horsey' one and her horse over the years. The second one is a pattern that I think Mum found in a magazine. It has a LOT of work in it! It is being gifted to a special house guest we have arriving in April. She still has more quilts on the go so there will be more to show soon! She has learnt how to do her own machine quilting which she is enjoying. 

Holiday Monday...

Today is a public holiday here in Victoria , for Labor Day, and it has been a beautiful warm weekend.  Today we travelled to Mum's and took her out for lunch. Had a beautiful roast vegetable pie followed by a lovely pistachio macaron and a coffee. It was so nice to catch up in person ( we speak every night on the phone) , dont think we stopped talking! Grabbed a photo before we left, unusual as Mum hates having her photo taken! Didnt think it was too bad! Brought 2 quilts home from Mums, will share them tomorrow!

Special gardens.

In the middle of our town the round-a-bouts are planted out with herbs and vegetables instead of flowers. The produce are then used by a soup kitchen and community kitchen run by local churches. What a great idea. They make me smile each time I drive past. Not great photos, there were so many people around and I am obviously not a professional blogger as I didnt stop the traffic to get out of the car!! Just some of the things at the moment - silver beet and chilli plants.
