It's been so long since I have blogged, and I have so missed it. The reason is that 2 years ago my laptop stopped working. Instead of buying another, I was talked into (by a Telstra person) into buying an ipad.
Well, I have liked the ipad for many things especially the wonderful photographs it takes as well as conveniently small to carry around. The downside is, whenever I try to write a blog post,it jumps all over the place and takes me hours and hours to write only one post.
So frustrating,so I had to put blogging on hold for a while.
The good news is that my daughter got my laptop fixed as part of my birthday present back in September last year,but unfortunately I couldn't get it to attach to the internet connection.
I have now decided to call in an expert to see if it can be connected.
Meanwhile I am writing this on my ipad,so won't attempt too many photo's at this stage as that is the hard part on here.
Just thought I would let you know. I will also make the time to pay you all a visit as I have so missed all the inspiration I got from the visits.
Most of my time is taken up sewing and embroidering little smocked dresses and rompers. I just love it and completely lose track of time when I get into my sewing room.
My other passion is the garden. It's really becoming quite full. I favour cottage gardens and love when things pop up now and then when I least expect it. Most i haven't planted. The seeds get dropped by the many birds that visit to taste the sweet nectre of the
hibiscus or fuchsia, especially the honey eaters.
My favourite tree is the native hibiscus which has the most beautiful mauve flowers in profusion.
2 years ago,my Grandson gave me a cutting from a Dragon fruit. It took off quite quickly. Last year
I got one fruit which was so exciting. Last wee
k to our amazement three of the most beautiful
Flowers appeared. Our Grandson told us that we were so lucky to get a photo because they only last a half hour or so. Such a shame.
This year instead of buying veggie seedlings which don't always produce, I decided to collect my own from what we eat. So far the best tomato plants came from those seeds. Neither of the two plants I bought did very well and only produced half a dozen tomatoes.
My other favourite pastime which I only took up late last year, is cake decorating. Ive always enjoyed baking and seem to have been nominated to be the family cake maker. My Grandchildren call me Nanny cupcake ha ha ha.
I think I had better not take on any more hobbies. I could never fit them in if I did LoL
I'm now going to attempt some photographs but we won't hold our breath as it's getting quite late and if I want to finish this post tonight I had better get started.
Well I think I finally managed a few photo's without it taking hours,but they still jump around. Not sure why so I won't worry too much as I may just have my laptop up and running by next post.
I am now going to visit a few favourite blogs to get more inspiration. Happy blogging

I am enjoying getting together with my friend every Monday to practice the decorating. So far we got an order from my Granddaughters friends mother for two dozen cupcakes. We were so proud of our effort and was praised but the receiver of them, she thought them so pretty and tasted delicious.
