Mixed bag

March is moving right along; I feel like Mr. Rabbit - "I'm late! I'm a late!"
No rain still, but a lovely sunset the other day. The sky was on fire! The kangaroos are also enjoying the late summer days, had around 15 here the other evening, including 3 large males and a couple of joeys in the pouch. They observe us as much as we observe them.
I drink a lot of soda water but was getting sick of all the plastic waste, so I invested in a Sodastream machine. It makes perfectly good bubbly water in seconds and uses tap water. I flavour it with pure lemon juice, which is my drink of

choice, and the CO2 bottle can be re-filled and exchanged. Now, what other plastics can I get rid of?! When you look around, there's WAY too much plastic in the household. I'm also thinking of getting a Bokashi tub, but not sure what to do with the compost; might give it to the neighbour.
On Sunday, I had Marg, Tracee, and Sue here, showing them how to make a Ricky Timms quilt. The one in the photo is mine; if you want to see more, go over to "Kiwikids" blog. Next step is to put the borders on, then to quilt it. Great fun, and I loved how each one was just amazing!

On Tuesday, some of us went to Ballan for sit n sew. We had a lovely day, and the credit card got an airing too! I fell in love with the bear fabric, and plan to make a bag with it and the dotty fabric.
The multi-coloured fabric will go perfectly with an African quilt that's in the planning stage. It's scrumptious! No idea what I'll do with the magenta fabric, I just had to have it!  I have a picture of something with silver grey in my mind...
And of course, a few KF fabrics had to come home with me. Given the entire WALL of Kaffe fabric at Ballan, I was very restrained....
