This weekend


It has been another rather nice weekend, despite having to work today for a few hours.
I managed to get a few things done including finishing off my magnets for the stall (photographed here on a drawing by my niece).


I took Molly for a walk up the bush with my sister, my niece and their dog.
We spotted a number of native orchids.
The ones above are called Greenhoods.


These ones are Leopard Orchids (sorry about the blur, my iPod doesn't like closeups)


These ones are Star Orchids. Quite purple in colour but the photo is washed out.


I have no idea what this pretty plant is :)


And for the umpteenth time I flicked through my Mollie Makes mag.
Have you guys read it? I'm already addicted. Jane picked me up a copy after she discovered them in a Hobart newsagency and I have to say it's better than I expected.
I was thinking how nice their Christmas edition will be, but then realised we'll be into next year before it appears in the newsagency here!
It was quite a nice, though bit chilly, weekend in Hobart so I also managed to do some gardening. I planted a couple of ranuncs, some lobelia, pansies and more delphiniums.
Luckily I have Mon and Tues off work so apart from some crafty action I've got a date with the overgrown ivy in the backyard. Our neighbour has attacked his side of the fence, now it's my turn.
Watch out ivy!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend too!

Spicy apple tea cake


One word...YUM!
I made this super yummy cake yesterday and it's ever better than it looks (and I think it looks pretty good).
The recipe came from the recent edition of Real Living magazine. It's my new fave magazine.
Well, I may have to go to work today, but at least I have nice cake to eat at morning tea.
So that makes it all ok :)
