little birds

I have had some friends staying with me because they could not get home to Emerald because of the flooding .
Sam wanted to make some birds so we raided my stash and made these 2 little birds I think they turned out very cite
Sam has not done a lot of sewing but she did a fantastic job and I think she is a quilter in the making
I hope all my blog friends are safe and dry
we are fine here
stay safe my friends
hugs Beth

Maryborough is flooding this is a pic of a boat in the river under where it is are tables and a deck that you can stand on to view the river ummm but not now

here is the boat club a bit wet our queens park looks like a lake our house is ok but if this gets to high some might get wet there is just so much water around the state at the moment

I just had to show you all the beautiful gift I got from Carole in Chookys SSCS
I love it and the chocolate was a big hit I did get some and have 2 stashed for myself LOL

I have managed to get myself a summer cold so I feel rather yucky and it is still raining here .Still we are not yet as wet as some.I hope it clears soon .
