After The Rain

The Tomoato's

The Apple's

The Agapantha's

The Hedge

We had about 35mm of rain over the weekend,

the garden was in need of "real rain".

You could almost hear it growing in todays sunshine.

And in other news - for the locals

The 2011 Reindeer Food Shoppe

is now open!

After school on Tues, Wed and Thur.

Fri and Sat most of the day

The Haby Goddess Handmade Kris Kringle

Firstly - I am back - all ZippyZippy orders have been posted,

keep an eye on your letter box if you have ordered a Santa Sack! 

A while ago I joined up with Jodie at The Haby Goddess 

and played along in the Handmade Kris Kringle.

I sent out a Red and White Bunting

A few Bunting cards, and some Fabric Covered Magnets.

As usual, I left it till the very last minute, but my pacel left ZippyZippy HQ

and Tanya should have her parcel by now, if Australia Post has played their part.

My parcel arrived this week from Lamina at Do a Bit..Everyday

A beautiful handmade bird.

Not only did Lamina create the bird,

firstly, she tea dyed the fabric, then hand printed the design on the fabric.

How lucky am I!

Thanks Lamina, I love her (I think she is a girl) 

she will hang proudly above my sewing machine at ZippyZippy HQ.

Pop over to Lamina's blog,

there is lots of lovely hand printing going on over there,

something I would love to try one day.

And, thanks to Jodie for organising the swap :)
