This photo was taken in the woods across from Lisa and Daves.

The sun was setting and I wanted to practise with starbursts. I kind of like how this turned out.

Today I noticed little green leaves on the fruit of my strawberry plant, on closer inspection it appears to be the seeds germinating on the fruit.

Tasty peach

Peach.

The only remaining peach that survived on my container peach tree.
It was delicous and juicy. What a shame I only had one to eat.

I am hoping for better luck next year.

Scouting out Sorel point for blackberry picking

Stairway to heaven

Mum and I went to check out Sorel for blackberry picking.

I should of posted this post before my previous.( Never mind)

We arrived and went for a short walk along the headland before Mum took a funny turn and had to take a rest on the bench. so we got as far as going up the steps and maybe 5 mins further along before turning around and going back.

She felt dizzy and turned white as a ghost.

The trip was worth it as we discovered a nice spot and loads of berries to take Clodagh to the following week.

Blackberry picking. Sorel point

Nanny and Clodagh find a good spot.

The previous week only Mum and I went to Sorel and the bushes were full of butterflies. This time there were butterflies but not as many.

For the above litle hat I used the eyelet baby hat pattern found here. http://www.knittingonthenet.com.patterns/babynewhat.htm

I made an icord to put through the eyelets as originally I used a ribbon but found it kept twisting because the ribbon was too narrow. I wanted mittens so found pattern below and croched a cord to attach to the mittens.
