I've been a bad blogger!!!

I can't believe it's been almost a week since I last did a post!!! I've been reading and enjoying everyone elses blogs but haven't managed to do a post on mine until now!! This will be a bit of a disjointed post jumping from one subject to another but I would really like to share these pics with you :o).

I have been busy stitching .... I've almost finished another of my "Slice 'n' Dice" quilts - this time in sweet Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit fabrics - so cute. I just have the side borders to put on then I can bind it :o) - I'll show you more when it's finished.
After reading Lurline's post with a pic of her gorgeous camelias I decided I should cut some of mine and bring them inside to enjoy too :o) ........... I think they're gorgeous. I can't remember the name of this one so please don't ask me, all I know is it's a double ;o). It's like a rose it's so beautiful!

We all went out for dinner last Thursday night for darling DILs birthday. The pub we went to very kindly brought out a cheesecake for her (on the house!!) and this is the knife they gave her to cut it ............!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!???????? (Can you see my DS reflection in the knife??!!) For the life of me I can't imagine why they thought we'd need a knife THAT big to slice a little old cheesecake!!

Here's a happy snap of Ross and Alicia taken on her birthday - (do you know they've been married for 6 months already!??!!) ..............
And here's what they looked like when they went to a fancy dress party last Saturday night. Ross (DS) was mild mannered Clark Kent and Alicia (DDIL) was Rainbow Bright (do you remember that cartoon from the 80's???) ........ don't they look fabulous lol - even Skye (aka Poops) got into the piccy :o)!!!!

We went for a drive out to Beechmont this morning - it was such a beautiful day and a gorgeous drive through the bush and past lots of lovely farms to get there.
We stopped at the Beechmont markets on the way to our friend's housewarming and bought these yummy treats ...........
Strawberry Jam cookies, Banana muffins and an apple and blackberry pie. We bought custard and cream on the way home so that will be our delicious dessert :o).
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!
