It's Almost Christmas

 I love Christmas, I love buying and receiving gifts, I love all the christmassy food, I love the decorations, I love everything about it, I love that two of my three kids will be here in our new house and new town over the holidays.

A couple of weeks ago there was Carols in the Park followed by fireworks right across the road from us I was so excited, we had our chairs in the front yard eating hotdogs for dinner waiting for the display and it was great 

The garden is doing great I have been making pickles and pickles and then more pickles, oh and pickled cucumbers as well.

The roses are loving the heat and rain 

 There has been a lotof rain more up river than here in town but the Namoi flooded and broke its banks we went uo to Porcupine Mountain to have a look at the water everywhere and then up to Pensioners lookout to see the other side of town and there are some great sculptures in the park there, I heard the government has given a grant for more sculptures and an eagle statue.

I have been doing a bit of sewing I used this piece of scrap fabric and made a see through pouch for my Zoom class blocks. I went to a mystery layer cake quilt workshop in town and made theis gorgeous quilt top and then I finished my "Whirligig" flimsy, a pattern by Emme Jean Jansen. I have finished a couple of old works in progress so hopefully 2022 will bring on more quilt finishes.
