ONE TREE

I WANT TO WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY NEW YEAR

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 11,000 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 18 years to get that many views.

Quilt in the making (3)

First the side panels onto the center piece.

Then the top panel and the bottom one.

The next is going to be the black border all around it

then it has to be quilted.

I am going to let a professional quilter do the quilting.

Quilt in the making (2)

I am busy putting  the squares together to form strips.

The panel in the middle

The top three squares

Two squares for the left hand side

I still have to put the right side together and also the bottom strip of squares.

This just gives you the idea of what is happening every day!

Quilt in the making

Making a quilt is easy if you know how!

I decided on December 18, 2012  t0  start my next quilt.

I still had the material from this years  Shop Hop.

In February we are having our Quilt Festival and you can only enter two quilts.

Here is the first square in the making.

First all the pieces of material

Measure and cut the pieces.

Work them together.

And there you go

the finished square

The first one was the red one

second one is the same but in black.

 

Six word Saturday: Perfect flowers

Example of  how perfect nature is!

Community garden today and 4 weeks ago

Wow, I have to say everything grows in this warm weather. We had some real hot days in the beginning of the week. Since yesterday it is cloudy and we had rain off and on.

I went to the community vegetable garden today for my hours weeding. I remembered to take my camera with me to take photos and compare it with the ones I have taken on the 23 November 2012( 4 weeks back)

The two beds at the back on the 23 November 2012

No potatoes, No other plants.

Today 28 December 2012.

Look at the potatoes on the right and tomatoes on the left

in the beds at the back.

Front beds are also ready for planting.

The next photo was also taken on the 23 November 2012.

Today 28 December 2012 and everything is growing like mad.

Wet morning walk! One hour in Trompie’s life

This morning was a lovely rainy morning when we had our early walk.

Coming back inside I first have to wait till  I am dried of a bit before I can run around inside.

Here I am with my wet face!

Nice shake out!

This is a nice wet one!

My Mummy picks up my front legs to dry them because her back is old and

doesn’ want to bend forwards or down too much!Ha ha!

What are you looking at!

I’m waiting for the hair dryer.

I love it when Mummy dries me with it, it is so warm and nice.
