These are a few of the swatches from my Chinese Lanterns collection that will be available at Spoonflower. They co-ordinate with the original design Snakes and Lanterns from the snake contest several months ago.

Winter in the Botanic Gardens
During the school holidays we have been to the botanic gardens in the city. It was a slightly wet day but the boys enjoyed a good game of hide and seek. The deciduous trees are all bare at the moment however there is plenty of greenery around.

A Visit to the Art Gallery
It is school holidays for two weeks so the boys and I caught the bus down to the Art Gallery in the city. This was their first time and they were very interested, especially in the Australian colonial art. There was an exhibition of Australian contemporary art which was incredibly diverse and beautiful. They had a section for children to make their on sculpture while watching how the artists created work in the exhibition on a screen nearby.
Citrus
Recently I ordered about 60 swatches from Spoonflower as well as some new cheater quilt panels and cushion panels. These are some of the swatches from my Citrus collection.

Retro Picnic
One of the contests coming up at Spoonflower is picnic designs, luckily I have one already designed and printed. The plastic picnic set belonged to my Grandmother, she had lots of great retro things especially because her favourite colour was orange.
Fabulous Finds
I had a wonderful day driving around the countryside with my husband on Friday. First he had a business meeting at Birdwood where I picked up the two full length Aprons. Then on to Mt Pleasant for lunch at the Bakery and great finds at the local collectibles shop, some retro plates from Johnston's Australia and a gorgeous citrus coloured apron. Then a nice drive over the hills and through the plains to Murray Bridge for a few more great retro finds.
