More of the gum tree came down on the weekend. Obviously it had been weakened from the storm 3 weeks ago. The rose, which use to cover the arch, is looking very sad! It's hard to see what's left of it.
I'm grateful this is a relatively small gum tree and not massive like my neighbours. My whole tree is equivalent to one of their branches!
Look at my new lunch bag. Sue made it for me, using the Christmas Treats pattern and stitching 'My Sandwich Bag on the pocket. I love it. The serviette gave me a good a giggle. It read 'Swimming at our age is dangerous, the lifeguards don't try so hard'.
If you love reading blogs here is a new one to add to the list. Sue-Anne (yes, one of the Friday Girls, has started a blog Buddy & Me. There will be many gorgeous quilts and other treats to inspire....
I like the lunch bag. The sandwich design on it is pretty.

Gums and houses just don't belong together!
Love the lunch bag, great to see that pattern used for another purpose. Now I'm off to say hello to Sue-Anne
