LPoCF #130 LeAnn's World 101

Hello again,

I think my crafting mojo has taken off (somewhere nice I hope), I was able to choose one of the images we are using on the Design Team over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends from our lovely sponsor LeAnn's World 101 to work with, the variety of projects from my team mates is stunning. Don't forget we welcome any handmade craft, pop in and share with us what you have been making!

LeAnn's World

Prize 2 images

I have used LeAnn's World 101 image Bouquet to make a Mother's Day Card for my Mum, I have paper pieced the image using various scraps of papers, mostly they have spots on them. I have added White Opal Liquid Pearls to the centre of the Forget-Me-Nots, the pink daisies are raised up a little to add some dimension.

Has anyone else noticed that they seem to have way more neighbours walking the neighbourhood than usual? I don't think I've ever seen so many Mothers pushing strollers, kids on bikes, families walking their dogs in our street before. Were they really all going to local gym's before or is being stuck at home meaning they are exploring the local streets from boredom? I'm still not up to walking around on anything but perfectly flat even surfaces due to my injury, I have however progressed with exercises with the local physio (thankfully still available for appointments) every little step forward feels like a huge step of progress.

Thank you for looking in...

Have a wonderful week...

LPoCF #128 Fabrika Fantasy

Hello again,

This must be the first post I have written this year which doesn't need mention of recent extreme weather events, tidying the yard had been high on the agenda, clearing weeds, digging out the pit drains, cutting back more plants and we are in the midst of replacing the bathroom ceiling after the last bout of heavy rain, I am planning on attending my first specialist physio appointment in the city (despite Coronavirus spread), we have heard that in Aus the medical professionals say that May is the expected peak. The trains are back up and running after the large landslide a month ago, (we had expected it to take up to 3 months for the line to be repaired- electric trains still not getting through the bushfire affected area further west)

Today brings us to a new Anything goes challenge with my lovely team mates over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy who will be giving the lucky winner of the challenge 3 digi stamps as the prize.

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...

My sincere apologies for how late I am running with this one ladies. Hopefully the weather will settle back into a more usual pattern and everything will dry out and the plants I cut back harshly when the fires were surrounding us start to regrow... 

Many thanks for looking in...

Have a wonderful weekend.
