And here are the stitcheries that I have completed for my Gardeners Journal quilt. I am way behind everyone else in the Stitch-a-long but I don't mind as am continually working on it, just at my own pace LOL

My lastest sewing
Here is a pic of the sewing machine mat that I finished last week. I found some charm squares that I had bought of Ebay years ago and thought this would be a good use for them.

Saturday
Today was a busy day here, but lots of fun!
We went this morning to pick up our new car!!
Same car, Nissan Xtrail, but different colour and brand, spanking new! We have only ever had 1 brand new car before so we were a touch excited LOL
Then this afternoon I went with some lovely friends to the Park Hyatt at The Rocks in Sydney for High Tea. We had a great time catching up and eating some very delicious food.
This is the view from the restaurant:

Monday
This post is for Donna who says she misses my posts about our weekend jaunts when I have no posts about sewing LOL.
On Monday we both had the day off so decided to take our car for a dirt road drive before we get the new one (can't get the new one dirty!!). So we headed down to the southern highlands, about a 45 min drive down the freeway from us. We had planned to go driving in a particular forest but couldn't find the right map so didn't want to venture too far off the main forest roads.
This is in the Penrose State Forest and this is clump of trees they haven't chopped down, I assume because they are gum trees and not the pine trees that they harvest.
Of course no drive would be complete without a yummy BBQ lunch - I tell you it was so cold there we were fighting for prime position next to the BBQ!!! LOL
We then drove down to the Morton National Park near Bundanoon and here is the spectacular view of the "Grand Canyon".

Saturday
On Saturday I finally got some time to do some sewing. Here is my spot in the gorgeous winter sun, the warmest place in our house.
I finished another owl bag, the same as this one, for a friend who asked me for one last September LOL
I also sewed some cute charm squares together to make a sewing machine mat. Unfortunately that is far as I got, so putting it all together will have to wait until the next window of opportunity to get the machine out!
