Weekending





Autumn
  • the zinnias are way past their best now, but  the are still providing a fabulous splash of colour to my garden and even the partially dead and dried ones are still attracting lots of monarch butterflies - just not today when I wanted to try and photograph them.

Celebrating
  • Miss B's 14th birthday meant a special birthday dessert - Chocolate Swirl Pavlova
Hexi Making
  • Slowly plodding away - love all the bright colours.  I've made sixty eight, another forty odd to go, I need to cut some more squares
Reading
  • I have just started The Stargazer's Sister, but have been reading  the Kate Daniels Series- this is modern urban fantasy, where magic and technology collide, there are shape shifters, vampires, ghouls , witches and magicians and  normal people .  A very different genre from what I normally read, but I enjoyed them. 
Back to work and school for us all this week as holidays are over,  Hope you all have a great week too.

    Your zinnia's are a wonderful splash of colour! That pav looks perfect for the birthday girl. Lovely bright hexies, are you using the fusible, washable pre cut hexie papers?

    It's amazing how the zinnias keep on flowering late ...mine are too.
    The design on the top of the pav looks amazing and very appetising...hope she had a good one.

    Hi,
    My son Atticus will turn 14 on May 18th. :-)
    I like zinnias because they do last so long in the garden and can take the weather.
