Making Jam slowly!!!!

I just love to do things in my own time, so making jam the old way cooking it on the stove.

 I am not a fan of the microwave to cook. 

Homemade apricot jam is just so tasty, I dont eat shop jams, not tasty at all.

 Anyway this is 5kg apricots that has been bottled now and ready to eat. 

Neils Quilt'!!!!!!!

This is the first block of the next row in Neil's quilt. All done by paper piecing and hand stitching. 

I have another 20 of these to make. Well this is the last huge quilt I am making for a while.

I found this lovely block on the Quilters Cache website and it is for free!!!!

Just life!!!

Had this very special visitor yesterday and it is so small I had to hold it very carefully. Just love all the beautiful colors on this tiny bird.                                                               

Lucky and Coco went for their yearly haircuts and are not very happy with me for putting them thru the ordeal. 

So pretty and thankful!

These are such pretty nasturtiums  flowers and they have come through from the neighbors and now I can see them everyday!!!!!

Morning walk on the beach

Lucky and Coco just love playing in the waves now. They had been scared of the noisy waters 

but now enjoy going into the puddles and try to swim.

When there are no people around we let them loose and they can run and play.

As always!!!!

I dont have anything to show for now but am working on Neils quilt and have completed 2 blocks of 14. Well have just had a busy time as its school holiday and Neil keeps me busy.
Just love him and this week our mulberry tree has got some nice red fruit and it had to be picked.
Well after having a few to eat and loved it, he started messing around trampling on the ones that were lying on the grass. Well he now has purple feet. It took my memories back many years when we were kids. My Mom was always annoyed when we had mulberries because our clothes would be full of marks. Hehehehe

Neils purple feet

Just having fun!!!

I have joined this facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/906834113017980/?ref=nf_target&fref=nf     I am going to share some fun flowers to brighten someones day.

Another finish!!!

Made these hand towels for my bathroom.

Another finish!!!!!

This is the guest toilet cover and all done by hand. Hated using the DMC metallic threads but had some lying around and needed to use it. Well here is the result and just love it.

Some dressing up!!!

My pillows started feeling a bit nude, so I decided to dress them up a bit. I have not put anything fancy on it because we use these pillows daily. 

Now back onto Neils quilt!!!

Something I wanted to do for so long happened yesterday!!!

I have always wanted to have a lunch on the beach and eat by hand, well it happened yesterday. We had a lovely fish and chips as we always did on a friday, just eating it at the beach. Then we each had a coke float. hehehe haven't had that for many years. This is the Kowie river mouth and the local Guido's. 

Went for a walk this morning and here is a photo of the east beach side and the blue is Guido's.
