Autumn in the garden.........

My garden is a pretty hardy garden.........but I am enjoying the little bits of autumn colour I have at the moment............

Crepe Myrtles.........something special every season from them..............

My Bouganvilleas are flowering.............this very dark one just starts to flower and sometimes gets frosted...........love this dark colour...............

these 2 are on a trellis together they flower numerous times...............

pods on a Goldenrain Tree...........

Chinese Tallow Wood

the leaves on the right are from a second tree I have in the garden and although no very far apart has much more burgundy in the colours

Pods from a Queensland Lacebark

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there............
Have a wonderful Sunday

does this look better................

No wonder I couldn't see the mistake................lots of you girls couldn't see what was wrong either...............now I feel a little better..............

Was hanging out waiting for an appointment yesterday and got this one fixed................

see the one I pulled out...........

And instead of trying to tackle the other one and fix it I worked on a new one.............

Just loving working with these fabrics............

Bookwork is calling..........

.....enjoy a nice sunny day before the cool change comes thru on the weekend...........

Catch you later..............

can't see for looking............

not much sewing going on here at all........life is busy..........

.....these are cut and some glued but I needed some more papers............

I got one finished..............can you see the problem.......

.....and I have taken the papers out of the star....bugger........

and then I was dumb enough to do it again................seriously what kind of an idiot am I????

No actually don't answer that question..............this will be easier to fix then the one above...........

lets hope sewing restores to this blog...............

Catch you later..............

Blogger &^$%$*&^#*^^$*&^#..........

During the school holidays blogger pushed us into the new interface.

  aarrrgg &^$%$$*^%* blogger your driving people nuts.............

You can still change back to the old interface for the time being................i have gone back to the old one as it is easier to use but also to control the SAL group blog I can see how many members we have in the blog. 

Previously I couldn't delete members of the group blog in the new interface but now I can do that.............BUT it still doesn't show how many members you have in the group like it does in the old interface and blogger has a limit of 100. 

I don't want to be counting that all the time seeing how many members we have.

From the dash board click on the wheel below.......then choose old blogger interface

You can also find out about the new look here too..............

I have included the link here.........

Once back in the old interface on the dashboard does say the old interface will be removed in the coming months which will be a bummer but for now i'll stay with the old look............

Have a great weekend..............

Take care til next time 

Chookyblue.............
