Paradise here in Tassie..

I really love this view from our Lounge room window..I can sit and watch this view all day long because it changes all the the time..
I always think of the movie "Gorilla in the Mist"..Just waiting for gorilla's to come out from the mist..

This photo was taken on the other side of my lounge room looking out onto the road..It was about 7am and the sun was peaking out behind the fog and it was just amazing..it was so calm and peaceful..

Our front lawn in the Winter..

Just yesterday Charna and I decided to get in and do some exercise and we raked all the leaves up and lo and behold when I looked outside this morning it looked like we never did anything..we had a bit of a breeze this morning and blew alot of the leaves off its branches..I thought "What the heck" and this time I am leaving it on the ground and hopefully another big wind will come along and blow it all away..

The scernery was just as beautiful as ever..I love it..

Picnic on the mountains..

Last yr this was covered in snow and I think we went up to the montains a little early because there was no snow in sight..Charna was hoping to have a snow fight but it didnt happen..

I think the place still looked wonderful even thought it was grey, cold and windy..we do have a beautiful place down here in Tassie and I just love it every day..

Morning Bliss..

Well the other morning I opened up blind and this is what I saw..it was just so beautiful..I just loved the colours and how peaceful the cows looked and the serenity was just magical..

Then about 1 hr into the morning I looked outside (once again) and I saw fog coming into our property..I thought..Hello! here comes winter for sure..

But...for some unknown reason I really love the different kinds of weather we experience here in Tasmania and we do live in a beautiful part of the world..(Australia) and I am thankful for the beauty that we have and for our free - agency..

Relief Society Mystery night..

I think I made a mistake and started to put the end photos last so if anyone is reading this..scroll down to the last photo and work your way up..

By the end of the night the mystery was revealed and it was all about Visting Teaching and how we can improve doing it..I thought it was nicely done and thanks to the R/S presidency for a great night..
As you can tell these 3 ladies were trying their hardest to tell another lady what number they were without speaking..alot of hand signs and feeling..lol
As you can tell Simone was number 1
I didnt even know Vicki was in our team..(which she wasnt)
Maureen Handley..she must not of have a big head because she wrapped it around her head twice..lol
This game we played..we all had to be blind folded and had to be in a group of 3's with 9 ladies in the group..and someone came along and whispered a number in our ear and we had to sort out from 1 to 9..was so funny and fun..
Liz had trouble trying to tie her blindfold..
A cute little centre piece..
We had a good amount of ladies turn up..(maybe because they got picked up lol)
The room was set up so nicely and elegant
Maureen picked up (l/r) Luz,Peggy and June
There was allocated drivers and we had to go and pick up 5 sisters each and the driver had to wear pink as you can tell who the driver was in this photo..lol

All the sisters arriving at the same time..and chatting to see what happened to them on the way to the chapel..
Kit Porters car as she was another driver..
The door handles had these pretty ribbons..
Ashlee Porters car was decorated in pink and people would of thought she had the bride in the car..
The gates were all decorated with streamers and balloons..
Bishop Porter greeted us and welcomed us ladies to the Mystery night..
This is what we got when we drove up to the chapel gates..

Finally aother quilt finished..

Well another project done and I had alot of fun making this quilt..it took me just over a month because I was doing it when I had some spare time..I want to make more. (hint! Christmas presents because I dont want to rush at the last minute)

I used all Amy Butlers material and I got this from a already cut pieces but I adjusted it abit and did my own pattern..

I usually sew the edgings on the machine but this time I decided to do it the proper way and hand stitch it..I would take it to my bedroom in the evening and stitch while watching my recorded TV programs..


It gives me great satisfaction to finish a quilt and most of all I am giving it away as a gift..I know what you all are thinking as Mark would say too..I never keep what I make but I just love to give.

Day out with Charna and Kealin..

On sat I took the kids to Devonport..firstly we went to the mall and checked out some shops there..then it was time to go to Macca's and grabbed some lunch..

The day was just perfect for sailboats and we watched them sail by..


Charna loved giving the scraps to the seagulls..
One of the look outs we visited and we watched people fish off the rocks..
This was at the lighthouse at the Bluff..


The kids enjoyed playing in the rock pools and trying to find anything that was interesting..
