LPoCF #246 All Dressed Up

 Hello again, 

We have been enjoying our summer weather, including some spectacular storms, again the local river system for Sydney's water supply was under flood watch, as the dam is sitting at 98% full, one decent downpour across the catchment and they open the flood gates. Some poor Sydneysiders have been without power for four days, ours was out for one day, while waiting on news from an ill family member from interstate, was not ideal, not even mobile reception was working.

Today brings us to another all new challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by All Dressed Up who kindly allowed two of the Design Team to choose an image to share, I have chosen Strawberry Patch, I printed the image twice and coloured both, I could not decide which one I liked better and have made two cards. I am sure that I had some paper with strawberries on it but when I went looking, I could not find the one I was thinking of.... so, either I have used it, or maybe imagined it... does that happen to anyone else????

 Hello again, 

Well on the local weather front we have had another drenching and gone from warm spring weather back to freezing cold winter weather, current outside temperature is 6.6C but with wind chill included feels like -2.6C. We are seeing less cases of the virus, although follow up appointments for Mum after her stroke have been swapped from in person to over the phone due to local cases within the hospital.

Today brings us to another all new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by All Dressed Up who kindly gave the design team two images to work with. I have used Oriental Girl and created a fancy card which will go to a family friend as a birthday card.

 Hello again,

Autumn is well and truly here in my part of Australia, we are picking Granny Smith apples from the tree and cooking them with rhubarb for desserts and the possums have been eating the leaf tips from same tree. This morning we had our first frost and I think my calendula plants are starting to die back already, time for something else to grow in the old wheelbarrow... 

Today brings us to our new Anything Goes Challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, our sponsor this fortnight is All Dressed Up who kindly gave us a choice of two images to work with, I have made a card in Autumnal colours with the image called All Dressed Up Spring has Sprung.
