Zip or Snap top.....

Snap top or zip is what I debated with for a couple of days until the decision was finally made to go with a snap top.   


After making an early start on sewing yesterday and finishing off the pouch it was time to put on the walking shoes and head on outside into the brilliant sunshine.  August is the month that the wildflowers seem to be at their best in Sydney and these are a few that I saw on my walk.    


These purple flowers below remind me of butterflies

The grevillea bush  below is often visited by native birds       


You always smell the wattle before you see it.


I was quick enough to catch this water dragon having a sunbake in a sheltered spot near the waterfall.  


Greater Sydney has just completed 8 weeks of lockdown and it was announced yesterday that the lockdown has been now extended to the end of September.    Not what everyone was wanting to hear.  The restrictions for some LGAs have been tightened ie garden centres and hardware stores can only trade as "click and collect" and a night curfew has been imposed from 9 pm to 5 am.   Retail shops in all LGAs other than food shops, chemists still remain closed.   

Next book in the pile to read


Don't forget to hop on over to Wendy's blog to see what else happened during FNwF.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

It's a great looking pouch. Lovely flowers on your walk. Its meant to be a glorious weekend too.

Your pouch turned out well. Did you have a snap closure, or did you use an old tape measure? You are so fortunate to have such a pretty walk close by. We’d hoed to travel out west to see some wild flowers again this spring, but I think that will have to wait for another year. Mick had been reading lots, but has just about run out of books. He may have to try an Ebook.

This is a lovely time of the year - not too hot (yet) - nice to see your local flowers.... very sad about your extended lockdown...

Snappy puches are so easy to amke/use!

Wonderful pouch, and a great walk, always good to be able to spot different things when you are out. We have had lockdown for so long now it seems normal which is a worry!!!
