Baby hat, Coco, quilt and Mrs Delany

 Loved knitting this 'pea soup' baby hat...
 I am quilting away on this, my 'far far away'  quilt, hope to get it all done before Sar gets home in mid July but I probably won't.

 Tomorrow we are 'going away', that is flying off the island for a few days. I always feel a bit stressed out about leaving 'this' behind, she is already getting anxious. when I get the suitcases out she will really go to pieces.
 I had really hoped we would get the museum exhibition, Farming in the Furneaux, finíshed before we left but still a bit more to do.....
I have been finding this a very soporific read. I love it though, fascinating and inspiring. I would like to have a go at collaging flowers on a black background.

Gardening

We have been busy in the garden this afternoon. Pete is about to start building the second stone wall along the front. We want to have a good barrier against the kikuya grass which makes a good lawn but it hell to keep out of the garden beds. Once it gets amonst the plants it is impossible to eradicate.
I have been massacaring  pelagoniums and weeding my  weed vegie patch.
 a winter rose
 Happy wanderer wandering...
I love this plant, like a green critter...

Another baby cardi but will have to change the buttons, one short...
 Wonderful stone wall Pete has recently made.




 My dodder basket I made.
 Of course everybody has to come and 'help' me sandwich my quilt.....

I am in the throes of doing an exhibition for the Year of the Farmer at the local museum, taking the form of a history of farming in the Furneaux. I am finding it alot more time consuming and stressful than I thought I would, but it's almost finished now, thank goodness.

hello!
