Isolation projects and how I am keeping myself amused staying at home.

Hello everybody .
Hoping to find everyone happy and well .
All is good at my house and Winter is here in Australia. We are getting a lot much needed rain bringing some respite.. We really needed it in our Australian summer as drought and fires here were catastrophic. lots of communities have been seriously  affected .Now these families have to face Covid19 after all they have just been through. When I think about all the suffering some people have to face through no fault of their own and the hardships they have been facing.
On reflection of this I count my blessings on the amount of reasons that give me a happy life.
I am happy that soon relief is coming in the near future and maybe a normal way of life can resume again.

The bush from my front door is looking lovely and refreshed from the rain .
Have enjoyed my crosswords and jigsaws,catching up with my knitting, reading,cooking ,a little bit too much cooking, weeding the garden when weather permits. All these projects have kept me busy and having some fun during lockdown .


 Have been busy quilting and seeing to the UFO's that have been hiding in  my cupboards

One of the beautiful birds that visit to the bush .King Parrot with his lovely red belly and green back,wings and tail. My favourite bird ,love seeing them out from my front door.

The ladies from my sewing group have been busy doing childrens quilts for the Womens Refuge for  the mothers and children escaping domestic violence.


Lovely happy bright fabrics for  the children









       
Stay safe everyone and look forward to some sort of normal again looks likely our State and Territory borders here will be opening soon and can then focus on business and peoples  jobs and stop some of the hurt and stress people are feeling.
Stay Happy and well ,Thanks for calling in to my blog.

Hi Jen, glad to hear you are safe and sound. Beautiful quilts are made for the mothers and children. Absolutely lovely. What a greaty job.
I can imagine all this helped you staying safe and sane while in the lock down.
Here with us in The Netherlands restrictions have become less strict, but we do need to keep our eyes open and behave and move in an intelligent social way.
Sending love and blessings, enjoy your family and quilting!

It's good to read you update; it hasn't been easy time, where ever in the world we are, but slowly getting easier; but of course we have to bare in mind that we are not over it yet, so still need to keep vigilant.
