Foto Finish - Things You Dont See Everyday

Recycling Vietnamese style.  
What I find interesting about this photo apart from the obvious overloaded bike is the contrast between the modern and old  means of transport.

Mokau Reflections

 

 

Three images taken last weekend when we visited our whitebait stands in Mokau.

Wonky House Swap

A few days ago I received 11 fabulous wonky house blocks from a swap organised by Jane from http://janesfabrics.blogspot.co.nz/

There were 4 groups of 12 participants and we each made 12 wonky house blocks.  We sent 11 of these to Jane to redistribute among our own group.  I am absolutely delighted with all the blocks I received.  The block I kept for myself is the one in the top left  with the sun in the corner.  Jane has done an excellent job of organising this swap.  Some of us are now making wonky trees for another swap in this group.  I photographed my house blocks with the trees I have made so far.  We will be making wonky stars next.

Foto Finish - Words

 

 

 

I came across these 4 plaques while out on a walk with some of our Women In Action group.  This walk was part of a fantastic weekend away.  I have been severely restricted with what I can do with this group over the last 6 months because of the injury and subsequent operation on my knee.  I hope to be back in action in about 6 weeks.

Scrap Attack Strings QAL

 

Sew Lux Fabrics and Gifts (http://sewlux.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/scrap-attack-strings-qal-show-tell-2.html) is hosting a Scrap Attack Strings QAL. This is the second month of posting progress. I only started today and have managed to make 9 blocks so far - a little behind some of the others. Hopefully I will have many more made by next month.

Rice growing in Bali. The paddy fields were so picturesque and there were often dilapidated buildings in the middle of the fields.

Foto Finish - Leap

 

I think I must have very "leapy" grandaughters as I have plenty of photos of these two leaping into the pool, the sea and a river. These are the most recent photos taken this summer. They were having a ball. We haven't had the best summer this year but the girls have had a lot of fun in our pool. Their swimming has come on "leaps and bounds" but they have to be watched like hawks as they are both overconfident in the water.
