Something's Growing

My vege patch is doing so well and I am having so much fun working in it and watching it grow.
I think that when all the tomato's bloom I will be able to make yummy spaghetti sauce and lots of it :).

Have a look....

These are zucchini, which makes all my family shout with glee


These are my potato plants, one I bought, the smaller one that looks like a weed near the fence I grew myself from a potato out of my cupboard :) so exciting :)
And then just under the broccoli you can see a white speck with a green sprout shooting out of it, that is the garlic I planted, and it grew!! I just got a bulb of garlic and put it in the ground, saw it on garden show and thought I would try it. Wohoo


Lots of tomatos


yummy strawberries just waiting to ripen...


 And lots of sweet peas to crunch on so yum





Now the other thing that I have been doing lately that is of great importance is cleaning my grout on my tiles. As you can see in this photo, I have done some and you can tell the disgusting difference, I have bought a steamer and that blasts the dirt away, with the help of some heavy duty cleaner :) I cant believe the amount of dirt that gets blasted out of my grout, it is so gross.
It is also real sad in a way that this is how I spend my time :) but oh well, clean grout.




This is also what I am working on, a commission for a baby quilt. A boys one, and the colours are looking great. Just about to finish sewing and then will get all the layers together and start sewing. I have a very short window to finish this so I really need to be quick. Here's hoping it all goes well.




And lastly, I am making a large lap quilt, squares!! I cant believe I did it. Some of them don't join up that well but it is all in the lovin' isn't it? So I have given a lot of care and attention to the free motion work and hope it looks great.



Have been listening to Lady Antebellum's latest album and really enjoying it, they are in concert here in September and would so love to go but we are saving for Japan and cant have both :( Also Mumford and Son's release their new album middle of September and it seems that Brisbane might be their first concert since the release, September date but they are only going to be at the Gold Coast mid week, so real hard for me to get to and it would be by myself as I cannot seem to find anyone that shares my passion for their music :) which is odd since they are an absolute global sensation. So a no go for that too, but I will be happy listening to their music in Japan and think it was worth saving the money and spending it in Japan :).
