Well, we are at the start of another year and I wonder what 2025 will bring but I guess it is just as well that we don't know otherwise it might seem too daunting. I find that when difficulties arise, as they will, that we are given the grace and fortitude to deal with what comes our way.
Seeing as we are already in December I thought I would remind any readers who are crafty that I did a blog post a while back named Christmas Gift Ideas in case you want to make a couple of quick homemade gifts.
It seems a long time since I got around to writing a blog post but thought I would say hello to those of you who read my blog to let you know I am still alive and kicking. As winter has passed and the warm weather comes and goes, which is typical at this time of year, the view in the garden has changed and the Freesias and the Sweet Peas are going to seed but the Alstroemeria are starting to flower along with the ever beautiful Hollyhocks. Here are a few photos of the beauties....

Well, Spring brought with it a heatwave of sorts this year. We went from having cold weather to 30C or so which was a bit of a shock to be honest. The plants are all confused I am sure and I imagine the gardeners in the parks and gardens in town are doing their best to stop all the plants from flowering too early for the Carnival of Flowers which is on from the 13th September to the 7th October.
I mentioned previously that Neralie, who used to teach at our Simple Living Toowoomba group before it was disbanded, had offered interested ladies a tutorial on how to sew a Kawandi project. So a few of us turned up at her lovely home to learn the craft. I was just watching as I was intrigued.
