camping close to home.....

Last week flew past at an alarming speed, the art class I go to began for the year and it was so much fun catching up with all the ladies that I hadn't seen since before Christmas which seems so long ago.
An afternoon of card making  in my little hut was quite productive and a great way to relax, I especially like decorating envelopes, its not exacting and they look so cheery when they are put out in the letterbox for our mailman to pick up and send off.
I finished off the rocking chair by glueing on the 'gimp' which covered all the staples, it looks a lot better than when I bought it,
a wee bit wrinkly..but still comfy and it rocks!
Did a little gardening, my smoke bush is looking very pretty at the moment,


the path leading to the pond is a cool , green arch of leaves lovely to walk down on a warm sunny day,




We squeezed in a bit of caravaning at the weekend ...not too far from home....just down the paddock amongst our Hazelnut trees...

We made a cozy fire, unfolded our new camping table...

and got down to the serious business of unwinding and tea and coffee drinking...

a bit of late evening stitching ..in a glamorous outfit, and apart from some nosey and  noisy neighbours the night went well.....
and apart from a visit from a 'hissy'  possum ...the neighbours deciding to do some night shooting...the smoke alarm shrieking at  an obscene hour...
it felt all too soon that we had to pack up and head up to the house.

  1. How fun to do some gardening! I will have to wait about 3 more months before I can get my hands dirty. I love your chair, it's so pretty!

  2. Thankyou for your kind comment! That is such a long time to wait until you can garden, even in the middle of winter we are lucky enough to be able to get out and do some form of gardening. I love the creamy blanket on your last post, is it a knitted one? it looks so soft, warm and cosy.
