Time for a catch up?

My brother got married! ( I took all the photos! argh!)

Dirt Girl turned 8!    8!!!

We took some girls camping to celebrate.....

We took an overnighter to the beach for Robs Birthday..

It rained

But it was fun and funny

Planted some a lot of beetroot, someone else is enjoying them too?

Lettuce seeds planted

Tomatos too (with a nice little cover for the nights to save them from frost)

Bird watching. One of Zaras gifts was a HUGE book called 'What bird is that?' we identified this lovely one as a red browed finch, extremely common :)

Important holiday business

The luxury of time on school holidays

I like to call this one 'The Reluctant Walker' thats the boy, not the dog :)


What a whirl wind few weeks! But the future is all relaxing and sewing, well for the most part!
We will be at The Castlemaine Artists Market on the 7th of October for our first market for the spring. How is your spring going along? Do you have a great spurt of birthdays at this time too??

I am linking in with Squiggly Rainbows garden journal this week.

My Summer Girl

Yesterday marks ours last Birthday for the year!

Its always a double celebration, a 'Happy Birthday!' and 'YAY! It's finally summer!'

After this cake I felt more confidant with my cake making abilities, so I tried something similar yet different! 

PURPLE!!

I REALLY loved it! Its really not difficult but so effective, even with dodgy mismatched candles! ( I forgot to buy wrapping paper too!)

 

Our next birthday is the LAST day of Summer,  so I have a few months to think of an awesome 12 yr old fella cake.....Do cakes get embarrassing for nearly teenagers??? :)

Have a great day!

Jacq :)
