Now this lovely Mannequinn is owned by my HUSBAND BOB (yes its true) when i first meet him it was in the corner of little flat with lots of clothes piled all over it.  She has followed us along our journey in life and at one stage was kidnapped by 15 year old daughter to hang all her special things on .When she finally left home she wanted to take it with her was told ........... find your own.

Now she lives in the corner of our bedroom and is usually home to all my scarves BUT hubby keeps piling on all his clothes and i keep having to take them off...........

So here you can see one of my latest projects strips of flying geese which i have been making with left overs and sewing them when were on longish drives or in front of the TV.


On the making front mostly lots of mess in my garden ripping out all the Summer Crops which have finished ready for the Autumn plantings.

The Baking department..................... Corn Relish with the last of the Cobs, threw in some onion,celery,ginger,and spices and an hour later bottled and some eaten with our rissoles, must of been OK as our visiting friends have tucked a jar into their suitcase!!!

Now the thrifting department.....................As I've said before I'm trying really  really really hard not to acquire to much more STUFF but when a friend says " I'm throwing out some stuff do you want some old towel etc" i say "YEP lets have a look"    and down the bottom of the cardboard box is............

                                                                                   
My youngest daughter Laura who's 19 and living in Melbourne while at Uni thinks its pretty Awesome and its now hers.  Yep I'm the favorite parent!!!!!

Love to hear what's NEW with you........................................................
