yellow butterfly

There was this little yellow butterfly flitting around - too fast to get great photos, but I did like the way it looks next to the purple geisha girls flowers...


Not a very inspiring post, but with this constant heat and humidity it is all I can manage for now.....

    That is a very common sight in my garden! Cloudless Giant Sulphur on dewdrops: the purple and yellow are so beautiful together.

    Lovely pictures. Butterlies are just so pretty even if those pesky caterpillars can cause some problems. My geisha girl is full of flowers at the moment too. I don't envy you the humidity, it is really draining.

    I know what you're going through in terms of the heat. We're experiencing similar conditions here, although not your levels of humidity, which really does make it a lot worse! I keep reminding myself that I need to enjoy the heat anyway, because once winter arrives, I'm going to miss these hot days ;)

    I absolutely love butterflies. Your little yellow visitor knew just which flowers would enhance its beauty. Also love the deep colour of geisha girl (I have one which I'm training to be a standard and another growing in our pavement garden).

    I'm very familiar with these sweet little sulfur butterflies. I especially love the contrasting colors of yellow and purple...very pretty!

Up-cycling fabrics

   In our hot and humid climate, jeans are not big movers in our op shop.  We had a $1 a pair sale rack, and still have full racks..... so I decided to make up a few different bags to see if we can somehow save these items from landfill.  Re-fashioning those items into something useful.  I made a few variations just to try out the market and sold this one on the first day they were put out! Each one is individual, depending on what fabric I have available. I tend to lay things out, and then just play around a bit.   Here I am laying out all the options before I start sewing.  I have joined a facebook group which is so inspirational and supportive.      Up-Cycled Cloth Collective | Facebook So often, it is just a case of seeing what is there, and then using it in the best way possible.  I was excited to find this tote bag, which was perfect as the lining of a bag for a teenager. this was also snapped up quickly. The bags were hu...

I have something to tell you.....

Come on in to my garden.... I have something to tell you  Sit down in the comfy chair  for a little while, and listen to the tinkling of the wind chimes - are you relaxed? Good!  Remember how I entered that garden competition, and the judges came, and they wandered down my paths, taking photos?  Yes! I won runner up! a Fifty dollar gift card ........ from a real nursery, not the big box store that I normally shop at.  Oh gosh, how exciting.... I wonder what I will buy? Thank you Cairns Regional Council!

Garden share collective June 2014

Once again another month has rolled by and it is time to link up with  Lizzie at   strayedtable  for our monthly collective where we share what has happened in our gardens for the last month and what we hope to be working on for the next month.  Wrapping up May and heading into June. Last month I wanted to work on: Seed tape .... I did make seed tape, and did a tutorial on the processs - you can see it  here.   It was fun, and worked well, expecially with kids. Mostly though I see a space and throw a few seeds in.  I can see myself doing it at the beginning of a planting season. Worms . .... I have been adding a little of the worm castings every time I plant something, and as a side dressing when plants seem to need a bit of a boost.  It does seem to help. Sitting .... plenty of that - I like the new (original) location of the swing where we have a long view of the garden. - veggie garden is just around that corner.... Eat veggies ...
