Pics of around town

These are just some pics of around town, they were taken a couple of years ago.

The look out tower is on top of the hill over looking the park and town, has 124 steps and once you are at the top the view is fantastic, the pic below is one taken from there looking straight across the main part of town.



Looking down to the rotunda in the park from about half way down the hill from the look out tower.



Picture of our park, you can just see the entrance in the photo below to the left of the fountain, when your in there you wouldn't even think you are right in the heart of the town, its really lovely, unfortunately because of the drought the park has suffered but we have had really good rain these last couple of days with more on the way, things might be looking up. :-)


The fountain in the center of town, it was finished being built in 1881, on new years eve the council have to fence right around it as people love getting in there and climbing on it, so its a way to help protect it.

Our Cathedral, its really a beautiful church, inside and outside, we were at my sister's place and was so happy we had the camera with us that day, the church just looked so good lit up with the sun and the storm clouds behind it.

My Mums Mothers Day Pressie




A last minute thought I decided to make a bag for my mum this year,I only got it finished half an hour before having to give it to her.
Mum has alot of doctor appointments at the moment and alot of sitting around to do so I thought a bag that she could use to just keep everything in for that would be good for her.
So inside it I made it with, on one side 2 pockets and on the other side, pockets to keep appointment cards in, a pen, mobile phone, a smaller pocket and the bag to have enough room to hold a diary and puzzle magazine in as she loves to do them.
I thought adding the sunflower material would brighten it up for her.

hehe...the fingers you can see holding the bag open belong to my mum and my Dh, my mum really liked the bag.

Happy Mothers Day

Hope all the mums have had a wonderful mothers day today and if you are in the part of the world where its not mothers day yet I hope you have a wonderful day.

Fairy Doll



Finally finished is the fairy doll I have been making for dh's sisters birthday, she is a design by the very talented Christine Treleaven.I really dont like how the wings turned out but I run out of time to try to fix them up as I had to get her mailed off. I sewed beads into her sleeve cuffs and just under the bust line, I also made a beaded skirt and used a hair tie for her skirt, all up I think she turned out okay so hopefully dh's sister will like her.
