I went to Sydney

we all went to the tribute concert for Harvey James from Sherbet, his sons, (my cousins) played on stage with Sherbet, it was a hot, emotional, sweaty fabulous night at the Enmore theatre...

one of my quilts

I was alerted to these photos this week, by a lady enquiring about the quilt in the photos,

it is one of mine, and I love seeing where my quilts end up.

I think it looks great, and it seems to have gone to a good home.

these huts are made to traditional designs and meticulous detail is given to fittings,
electrics, plumbing and a wood stove can all be included if you so desire.....

Shed 4, Daylesford

I had a great day in Daylesford on Sunday, I took my boys and one of my nephews who was staying with us for the weekend at our place in Castlemaine to the Hepburn Bathhouse.
We spent 2 hours swimming and spa-ing in the gorgeously renovated spa pool....
we then met up with some friends and went to David Bromleys 'Shed 4'
As you can see from the images below, he has created many 'spaces' within this large shed,
my favourite was the converted bus, and the old Army tent furnished a bit 'Ralph Lauren Safari'
