LPoCF #252 Patties Creations

 Hello again,

Wishing you all a Happy Easter. Autumn has arrived here in my part of Australia; the trees are starting to get their Autumn colours. We have three street trees, beautiful flowering cherry trees, the local council sold to each house that wanted them nearly 50 years ago, the next streets have Maple trees. As new houses or neighbours have moved in, so they have added the same trees for continuity in the street. 

Today brings us to another all new Anything goes challenge with my team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends our lovely sponsor this fortnight is Patties Creations who kindly gave each of the design team an image to work with, I have used Pansies in Pitcher to make my card.

I fussy cut the Pitcher and poked it through the lacy circle die so it is all one piece, cutting along the table edge Pattie has drawn.

LPoCF #126 Silly birds on a wire

Hello again,

I'm extremely late posting this, we have been inundated with water at our place this last week. My neighbour has a rain gauge and had 640mm or 25 inches of rain in just two days which is close to half our yearly rainfall. I was upto my calves in water in our garden trying to clear leaf litter and debris coming from the properties above us, trying to let the water in our yard out to run to the lowest point down the road. Then I looked under our house and amongst the support pylons was a dry patch of earth bubbling up as water came up, as if a spring had started beneath our dining room. We have had another 8inches (20cm) since

The local waterfall had an immense amount of water going over it for the following days as it filtered through the creeks, sadly the amount of rainfall also caused significant damage to many local bushwalks, washing a $750,000 bridge away (again). Waterfall at end of Charles Darwin walk and in usual weather National Parks and Wildlife Service

The local railway line had a large landslide which has seen the cancellation of all train services for the foreseeable future whilst the engineers and track maintenance crews work out how to repair the line and communication requirements.

On the plus side grateful that all the bushfires that have caused severe damage to our state are now out and the Warragamba Dam (Sydney's water supply) has reached over 81% of it's capacity meaning the water restrictions brought in during the last six months will be relaxed (the dam was around 40%) and our local dams are at 96% capacity.

On to the card making...
Sunday brought us to another all new Anything goes Challenge with my lovely Team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight our sponsor is Patties Creations who is offering the lucky winner 2 digi stamps

Many thanks for looking in...

Have a wonderful weekend.
