This and That


When I lifted down one of  boxes containing my
UFOs I found a lovely letter from my DG2
I have swapped the Dolphin for a fish and I was very careful.LOL

Yesterday I went to Geraldton,65kms away, to take my "Bargello" to the quilters.
I had a lovely day shopping and then spending the afternoon visiting my DD1and GD1.


Love the range of Xmas fabric I bought and some more material for my Baby Owl Quilt as well as a few pieces for a Pirate Quilt.


 
Went to Bunnings and bought some more tiny trees. When I saw the cute tricycle planter I just had to have it.
Today I put the tiny trees into these
and the last lot of tiny trees are now big enough to be planted out.
I have to put this wire cage around them so the rabbits don't eat them.

As I am sitting here I hear the rain which is great for my new trees.

  1. How sweet that little letter and picture are! Such a dear treasure. I love the colored pots you put your little trees into! They look so happy. I sure hope the rabbits don't get them!

    Have a wonderful day, Maria!

    XOXO,

  4. What a darling letter from wee Zoe. I notice you are Om ~ is their German or Dutch in your family?
    I must get my two babes writing letters to their GG who lives in the South Island.
    I smiled at your comment re rabbits ~ you'd be horrified to know we used to have pet rabbits LOL.

  6. I love it when I come across things like that. How cute. I was surprised when we were going through my mom's things that she'd saved a few of my things I'd written to her. Kinda fun.

  10. It must be tough having to protect your young plants from greedy rabbits! Not a problem that we have here in my part of New Zealand, except fot some areas in the South Island where they run rampant

  16. Maria, I am one of a siggie pal from Virginia, USA. I received your lovely siggie and letter today, thank you.
    I wish we only had rabbits in our garden. We have to deal with deer and a bear comes through occasionally. Pam K.
