It has been a brilliant weekend weather wise in Perth, not hot, not cold & some of that strange wet stuff. Yes, it RAINED, in PERTH & the forecast is for a bit more in the next few days to come & not a day over 24 degrees, autumn at last.
My normally unproductive sandy garden is currently prolific in yellow passionfruit too. I'm thinking maybe a passionfruit curd recipe might be worth a try.
The boys have had a lovely weekend too, young Honey played in the garden for while,
Old Brun snuck away & had nice naps in his mum's bed on the electric blanket left on 1 for him to warm his old bones.
It was one of my favourite days today too, ANZAC Day. We get to acknowledge the brave men & women of all the armed forces past and present & remember all who have gone before us & fought for the life & liberty we now have as lucky Aussies & Kiwis (or in my case both - an Auswi!).
This means my favourite footy match of the year, the Collingwood vs Essendon ANZAC Day game. Have I ever mentioned I like footy, well I don't, I LOVE FOOTY! While being in WA, I am an Eagles girl, but I just love great footy so love any great player & team and will watch any match possible.
Sorry, that means I do love Collingwood (I know, I hear the boo, hiss & roar from here) but also think Essendon is gaining mementum this year, how could they not with the return of James & assistance by Bomber Thompson - Go Bombers! So today I was in my element but in between couch coaching did manage to get lots of hexie flowers cut out ready to glue & sew.
Here's my progress to date towards the Vignette Hexagon Flower Quilt. 12 down, 128 to go. Should be finished by ANZAC Day next year, I hope.
Happy stitching

Thank goodness it rained for you! I remember living in Perth & rarely seeing rain...hot & dry for weeks on end. Love your hexies too!
ReplyDeleteOld Brun looks like a tiny kitten in that picture and Honey looks like a mountain lion! Your hexies are adorable. I love the way you are fussy cutting them to be "just so". 8)

I love those yellow passionfruit. They have thrived in all the rain we have had this year. Passionfrut curd is yummy and goes well on cup cakes. I also like smoothies with the passionfruit added after blending.I am not much into football or hexies but your hexie flowers look lovely. Of course your pussy cats are very cute.
