We've had days of rain, and almost everything else lately the weather can throw at us, apart from snow, and further north, there was a tornado, pretty much unheard of in Australia, that caused a lot of damage and injury to people. I'm not complaining about the rain, it's so badly needed, and some of this system has pushed west and north, where they've been hit hard by the drought and really need the rain. It's just cold, colder than spring in the sub-tropics should be, and a bit miserable.

So it was a lovely surprise today, dashing out between downpours, to discover a little parcel waiting in the mailbox.......another F2F swap squishie. It was from Robin in Canberra this time, and as she's been very unwell with pneumonia, I was doubly impressed that she'd managed to make...and get to the post office to send.....4 beautiful blocks.

| Double hourglasses ? |
Robin said she loves blue, and has so many blue fabrics she found it hard to choose which to use. I can well believe it, there's certainly plenty in this block!
So I thought it was time to put them all together for a look. Not in any particular arrangement, just as I picked them up off the pile.
Too many for one photo, so here's the second half.
Such a lovely array of blues and pinks, I think they're going to come together nicely whatever I decide to do with them. There's still 3 to come from the Netherlands, and then two more to make for myself, or however many I decide I need /want.
So I'll leave you with this crosspatch, who's not at all bothered by the incessant rain, but rather was peering over my shoulder, wanting to be fed, and rather cross that I stayed at the computer and didn't immediately jump up to do her bidding.
till next time........
