Update on the giveaway!
The 1:12th items are completed, the 1:48th ones nearly so. I really hope you will like them! I have been promising photos for a while now, I know. But now the sermon is prepared and presented (whew!), the other home obligations are under control if not completed, and life is more manageable even if my mini world isn't (vbg) I have been able to get more time on them. So not long now.........
Spring has sprung
Yes, I know it seems odd to those of you in the northern hemisphere but today is the 1st September so for us 'down under' it is the first day of spring. Mother Nature however doesn't wait for the calendar, and signs of spring have been bursting out everywhere for a while now. The doona has been off the bed, the lighter blankets have been on instead and the doors and windows open wider during the day. Peter has been wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts during the middle of the day, and yesterday even I wore a t-shirt and summer pants, with a cardigan just in the late afternoon. I enjoy this weather - there's still a chill at night and in the mornings and it's not too hot during the day, only reaching around 20deg or so. And I'm spring cleaning too, sort of! Still organising my workroom (out of necessity) but working slowly through the rest of the house too bit by bit. And my mini mojo is poking its head up too - not really making an appearance yet but definitely peeking around the corner to see what's going on. Once I catch up on the things I need to do, perhaps it will overcome its shyness and really come out into the open!

Hi Sandra
ReplyDeleteHere it seems the weather jumped from winter to summer within 2 weeks it is already 27 degrees here in the middle of the day. Sometimes I think we miss out on spring all together and that is a time of struggling to keep the garden alive, we tend to have only occasional showers until the proper rains arrive in Nov, Dec.
Looking forward to your give away post, will keep my eyes open for that one!!!!!
As I read your blog, Sandra, I spontaneously laughed out loud to myself. While you are proclaiming "Spring" in your part of the world, we here in Montana (USA) are on the brink of "Autumn." Truth in fact, our annual County Fair (the Fall Harvest Festival) and Rodeo opened last night. What an amazing world we all live in! Your flowers are lovely. Thanks for sharing. I, too, shall be watching for your contest. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet welcome! I'm waiting for my 1/4 scale windows/doors then I'll start building! So nice to meet you! :D
ReplyDeleteJessie, I know just what you mean - when you 'up in the north' are talking about freezing we are sweltering or at least enjoying our summer and even when our winter days are as warm as some of the British summer days (grin) we are feeling cold at night and it seems odd to us too! And the funny thing is that we might celebrate Christmas with a BBQ or even at the beach and yet decorate our houses with scenes of snow!
ReplyDeleteKathi, looking forward to seeing your house progress - I have a paper model made up of one I want to make from scratch in quarter scale. Perhaps next year! Meanwhile I have soooooo many kits, as you might see in time lol.
Elga - yes, we do the same here. Today it was 28 deg in the afternoon. Still cool nights which are nice but they are warming up. And our usual rainy time of year seems so far away after the droughts of the last decade then the floods of last year that who knows what will happen this year? El Nino or La Nina? One extreme or the other - we never seem to have the medium. I hope all of you enter the giveaway!
Es una delicia verlo
