Sunrise, Sunset, Father's Day and Birthday FQs

Whew, what a tittle!

We have had a couple of nights away at DSIL's cottage in Mapleton. I blogged photos taken around Mapleton back in January this year (can't seem to set up a link but it was on the 2nd if you are interest). Friday was a public holiday for the Gold Coast Show so we took off for two nights of RnR. I took NO photos while we were away. I didn't do much at all. I haven't felt well all week, very tired so I took it easy. SIL and the girls had a lot of fun in the park, wish I had sent my camera along.

Now I have blogged in the past about sunsets and the photo above was taken tonight, but I did have an opportunity for a SUNRISE photo today. SIL had to be at the station by 6am to catch the train to the international airport. I drove her down the range at 5.30am in the dark and as I was returning I ALMOST stopped off at the lookout to take some photos. Sorry but I was tired, so I kept driving and I went back to bed when I got to her place! (I did say I haven't been feeling well!) I am sorry now, though, so won't let the opportunity slip by next time.

Tomorrow is father's day here in Oz and Charlotte is very excited. ( I know the photo is very yellow, no flash and I didn't want to get caught by Russ so I didn't re-shoot). We have all of Daddy's presents prepared. Some purchased, some made at school and kindy - they are the most special. Tomorrow is all about him. Eggs for breakfast, BBQ lunch and dinner with my parents. More pictures tomorrow.

Finally, my birthday just keeps on keeping on. More FQs arrived this week.

More FQs



The birthday fat quarters continue to arrive. These ones came today. I really like the one on top, it looks more purple in real life. In the photo is looks like it has blue in it.

Today I have been sewing and have finished ALL my swap blocks except one. I am really happy about that. Will take some photos later on.

This afternoon Charlotte started swimming lessons again. Only problem is I forgot! Lessons are two minutes down the road from school and start at 3.30pm. I remembered at school, we flew home, she got changed and we raced back and were there at 3.20pm. I still can't believe it we made such good time.

At the moment it is anything but swimming weather, thank heavens for indoor pools. We have had torrential rain and cyclonic winds the last few days and last night our shade sails tore. DH took them down best he could in all the wind but they can't be saved. They will need to be replaced. At least we are all fine!
