Oh, dear - I have to stay home today and be a Domestic Goddess, again! Two days out in a row, Tuesday to our State Guild, WAQA, and then yesterday off to our Rough Diamonds Group for a Sewing Day!
In the pic above - a Japanese Noren - how glorious with all the sashiko! A gift to Ann - these beautiful pieces hang on a rod in doorways - the handwork is superb!.jpg)
Sue, our hostess, at the head of the table and Ann to her right. A little bit of glare as it was a beautiful, spring day here yesterday - and Sue's house is very light and bright with great views of Perth's beautiful Swan River.

The food - to die for! Sue certainly showed us how to do it - we all left with a recipe for overnight sourdough bread - just wonderful with mushroom soup, followed by pumpkin pie. Above, the water jug!.jpg)
The water was delightfully refreshing with added slices of Australian Wild Limes! New to all of us all and they had such a distinctive limey flavour..jpg)
Yummy sweets! Orange and almond cake with sour cream and strawberries!.jpg)
This one above is for Mildred of Nalley Valley! Mildred enjoys all things elegant and refined and I'm sure this will bring back some memories for her!

Did we sew? - who cares! What a lovely day, thank you Sue, the perfect hostess! We all decided we couldn't compete and it will be plain old Vegemite sandwiches at our homes.♥
Not a lot of sewing happening in this neck of the woods - another block started from The Civil War Bride Quilt! A new discovery - the glue pen, very handy for fastening all those stems made with my trusty Hera marker! A little afterthought - the little pink, blunt-nosed scissors that I have carried on aircraft throughout Australia and the USA over the past few years - the airline officials have never queried me and I'm sure that it is not just good luck either.
♥
Into 'My Studio' first - it is a bit of a disgrace - then onto other boring household duties!
Happy Day!
