Today has been a little bit of everything – sewing, gardening and cooking.

I have almost finished the curtains.  They are looking great and hopefully tomorrow’s post will be all about them, complete with photos.

It has been cool today with a constant battle between sunshine and drizzly rain.  During the day I spent some time out in the garden.  There was a decent-sized pile of mulch from The Duke’s effort a couple of weeks ago when he mulched most of the large callistemon which had to go for the plans to extend the vegie garden area.  With the aid of a wheelbarrow and Psycho Dog I managed to move it all and spread under the native shrubs which form a screen from the road as well as significantly reducing the amount of lawn that needs to be maintained.  I removed quite a few weeds as well.

I have made a chocolate slice to take to Belle’s place tomorrow.  We will be hanging the curtains in Miss O’s room and The Duke will mow the lawn.  I am looking forward to seeing Miss O and Izz.  First though, we plan to head off to the Yandina Market to get some seedlings and more native shrubs as well as some fruit and vegetables.
