Saturday the 16th of Oct I woke up to this.
Yep, SNOW!
Much fun was had with snowballs and snowflakes.
On Sunday the 17th I flew to Darwin.
A whole week with my bloggy mate Bianca and this is the view from her yard!
More than 30 degrees and beautiful blue skies.
It was sooooo wonderfully warm.
Bianca took me on some sight seeing. We visited the war memorial at Adelaide River and then met up with another blogger, Kirsty. We enjoyed a lovely lunch (yum!) with her and then we made her do show-and-tell. Kirsty has an amazing eye for colour and is making some fabulous things.
We also visited Litchfield National Park where we saw some wonderful water falls, termite mounds and a flame tree or two.
I also had the wonderful experience of crying with laughter when I turned around at one water hole to find Ms Bianca flat on her back in the water, camera in hand and look of surprise on her face. It took me more than five minutes just to able to pull myself together enough to ask if she was okay. Last night I thought about it again and started laughing out loud in bed. Ahhh laughing at with your mates...is there anything better?
She might be a bit wet and soggy but she was still laughing as she told me to F off!
And this little chestnut is the stunning mini quilt that B made me for the quilt swap we were in. I love it and I think it'll look great in the baby's room no matter what flavour we have. Just need to get a baby's room....
The girl does mighty good points!
And guess what? You're mad and I'm not....
AND on Wednesday I am turning 30!!!!
I'm not quite having the large celebration I had originally been planning. I'm going to save that for my 31st when I have Baby CP ensconced with a babysitter so I can let my hair down (yep, already planning escapes) and really party.
I better have a giveaway as it will also co-incide with my 100th POST.
More details on Wednesday.
Better get some chores done so I can earn some slobbing time this arvo.
A HUGE thanks to Bianca and her munchkins for having me for a week. Funny who you can meet on the internet and amazing that they can turn into real and fabulous, life-long friends. Yep B, you're stuck with me!
Sew well peeps,
Ab xx
