Always looks like fun when Little Aussie visits, as a pastry chef loving your dessert activity. Please let me know when you are rostered on for the Marvel exhibition. Just spent two days in Sydney, at the Powerhouse museum there is an exhibition featuring wedding outfits. The earliest dress was from around 1843, Nicole Kidmans wedding dress is on display as well. Have a super weekend.

I gave my new boots an outing to church last Sunday in the fog. Ah, red jelly in Australia - like jello I guess, made from jelly crystals which come in a packet, basically colour, flavour, sugar and gelatine. Stir in boiling water and it sets. Simple for a little guy if I pour the water. I enjoyed making the shirt, but I am Very Slow - it took me about 3 weeks, a bit at a time.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-78887003970059331202017-05-31T18:00:11.862-07:002017-05-31T18:00:11.862-07:00So far, we are pleased with the result Sarah Liz. ...So far, we are pleased with the result Sarah Liz. When I see him actually walking unaided, it will be a great relief and that is when we can gauge the success. Might be a while yet though. Knee and hip replacement is quite an industry at the Wesley hospital, which shows how many 'seniors' are getting these operations these days. No wonder the baby boomers are so active!

What a cute picture of little Aussie drawing and using his imagination. The blouse you made is so pretty, love the colors. You are quite a seamstress. May I ask what red jelly is?
