wooden tubs, crates and boxes

One of my great loves... wooden crates, tubs and boxes.

These images were taken during a "propping" trip that I did last week scouting out possibilities to use for an event in May.

My Dad is a talented artist and sculptor.

He works with oils and watercolours, and sculpts out of soap stone, wood and aluminium.

These are some pics that he had just had framed when I was visiting.

They are of his local golf club, Duntry League.

Yep, he's a clever clogs...



green house full of begonias

Mum and I recently went for a wander through Cook Park in Orange while I was home visiting.

It was like stepping back in time because I spent a lot of time there feeding ducks, playing on the swings and picnicing with friends when I was a little girl.

There is the most adorable green house that I had completely forgotten about. It was built in the 1930's and is full of the most extraordinary begonias in every colour imaginable.

 

Mum's workroom

These pics are of Mum's workroom where she makes all that quilting magic happen...

There are so many exciting "treasures" in her room which she has collected over the years - fabric, buttons, ribbons, beads, to name but a few.

Mum's creativity has always been at the heart of our family, and I know for sure that it the foundation for my own life path.

My Mum - the quilter

My Mum has been quilting (obsessively!) for the past 20 years.

It is her great love and passion.

She has made literally 100's and 100's! In all imaginable shapes, sizes and colourways.

The workmanship and attention to detail is incredible.

They are stored in cupboards, hung on walls, given as gifts, and draped on many surfaces.

These pics are just a few that are hanging around the place.

I've spent the last two weeks travelling to and from my home town of Orange in the Central West of NSW.

I had forgotten how incredibly beautiful it is in the Autumn...
