Its Spring! by Helen Howell

Its spring, and I love how the garden is waking up and bursting into colour. The first of my roses is out, and the poppies in beautiful colours wave their heads in a welcoming greeting. The bees have woken up and the buzz around the flowering apple blossom can be heard as I walk past. A beautiful time of the year. Spring holds the promise of things to come, summer fruit and a signal to get planting those tomato plants out for a real taste of summer.

Two of my fun Christmas Card designs.

Bink Goes to Church by Janice McFarlane

The other week at RAF Benson where my daughter and family live, the new Padre (Vicar) of the church on the camp announced that she was going to have a special service for families and their pets at the church. There were no limits to the kind of pet people could take so Harry decided he wanted to take a Shetland Pony who he has become best friends with. Bink and Harry have developed a bond. He belongs to one of my daughters friends who has a few horses and as Harry and Bink had this bond she was fine with him taking Bink to the service. Now Harry doesnt ride Bink as he doesnt like to be ridden, but is happy to walk or trot along with Harry leading him. The service was said to be good, and apart from trying to pinch Harrys cake after the service he did show himself up by pooping. But it was taken in good spirit and thankfully precautions were already in place in the event of any animal having a little accident.

Special Wedding Anniversary by Sue Way

This week would have been my mum and dads wedding anniversary. They were married in 1956. I remembered that I brought home their wedding album when we cleared out their house. So I sat and had a look through all the photos. Tucked in the back of the beautiful padded album were some of the cards and telegrams that they received. It reminded me that, back in the day, the best man would read out all the telegrams during the reception. I love this picture of mum and dad looking loveling at each other. Mums dress was so beautiful. It was made by my nan, and the bridesmaid dresses were made by my aunt. Dads mum and sister. My SALE ends at midnight tonight! (GMT) with 20% off of ALL my designs!

New House by Vicki Avcin

So very happy and proud of my daughter. She has just bought a house! Well technically her first house. She first brought a townhouse in a complex which was joined to another. It was quite small so time to look for something bigger. After searching, doing many inspections, getting Mum (me) to do searches looking at flood/bushfire/heritage overlays, and finding something in her price range she settled for this place down near Manly beach. Lovely big yard for the dog (once the fence gets done) and extra bedrooms and best of all no fees and rules from a Body Corporate. She can now add what she wants and paint things to her liking. She has already arranged for the fencing to be done and is doing some small renovations before moving her furniture in. One big plus is the beautiful sea breeze which will go through out the back patio on the very hot days. Very welcome the other day when the temperature was 38 deg C. That is extreme for October so with a hot summer ahead I think we will be going over often to enjoy that breeze. Todays designs are pretty floral and lace designs. Check out all the designs in this series.

We … by Carol Clarke

… had another fabulous, fun day with our youngest grandchildren this week. Olivia age 13 and Austin who is 10. From the moment they got here to the moment 5hey went home they never stopped! lol. I was sooo shattered but we all had a fabulous day! As its Halloween we had fun with some scary games, its amazing what you can do with a colander, spaghetti and a large spider. We carefully pulled out 1 piece of spaghetti at a time … till the spider fell from his web! We made frighteningly scary balloons with frightening faces and baked the undead mummy jam pudding …. Plus lots of other things. Ohhh boyyy … was I tired when they went home … but wed all had a fabulous, if scary, day!
