Anne’s memorial shoulder tie bag 26th Nov 2014

This morning started out sunny and fine and by 10am it was pouring down how we all love the first rain at the end of a long dry and you can hear the trees sighing as the water washes away months of dust from their leaves then soaks down to their dehydrated roots. Now 11.30pm sun is back out but temps still down in the mid 20C where it would normally be around 32C and the humidity is rising fast?????

Where am I up to on my LE this week ???????? I have been making templates?????

Templates for first border corner in right hand box are the 17 different templates for the corner blocks. At the back on red are my first templates cut out of wash away freezer paper there are only 32 lying there but they took me ages to pencil out then cut out !!!!! Just think I have 128 1/2 there size to cut out. Esther shows how she is working on these pieces today on her bloghttp://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/

Have just finished fixing up this wee mans clothes and he is now ready to be loved again. I think he may be in my DGD Xmas stocking this year; she has been dying to play with him the last two months as he was lying on my sewing table.

This morning DGD my wee dog and I have been busy playing started with Play dough that I make for her. She did not want to go with mum shopping this morning.

While no one was here on Monday I dug up the storm water rain pipes that was blocked it and the drain pipe from the car-shed were full of fig tree roots too????? I wanted to do this before the rains came, would you believe it started to rain yesterday ?????? How lucky was I.

This is area is a walk way and is usually covered over with pavers which I lifted then dug out the pipe. Now I will leave it to the guys to put it all back down again LOL!!!!!!!

You can see the roots that are still in the small water pipe from the car-shed. It took me a couple of hours to clean out the big storm water drain pipe in the middle of the photo are the pile of roots. Now you know why I did not do much at all in the sewing area this week LOL

Garden is full of colour this morning.
