What upsets me and what makes me happy…

Remember my post I did with the excitement of having a birds nest in my garden with two eggs in it? You can read that HERE….
Doves nest (1) (Medium)
Well they hatched…sooo excited!!
Baby DovesThey had about a week to go and they would have been taught how to fly BUT they didn't make that stage…they were eaten!!!!!
DEAD DOVES (2)
That’s all their feathers on the ground…I even found half a wing and a little heart!!! I cried for these two babies and their mum who spent the next 5 days calling them.
And I am pretty sure it was by the damn cat that comes in our yard just about everyday. I don’t know where this cat lives as I have seen it on several of the streets in our area…I wish the owners would keep it locked up like they are supposed to. Mongrel cat!!!!!! Bloody cat eating my little babies. I would prefer to see birds in my yard than no birds and someone else's cat. Don’t get me wrong..I like cats….I just hate that they have to eat our beautiful birds. *cry*

On a happier note ….
little cupboard
I found a cute little cupboard on the verge of someone’s front footpath the other day. I had to stop and put it in my car and bring it home. I love it and plan to renovate it once we get back from spending Christmas with my family in Western Australia.

I got this little ladder a while back and decided to do my own little vignette with it. I love it!

I had to laugh at my last post as no one commented on how my new sunglasses looked on me. I got rid of the grey runway strip especially to take the photos and was so embarrassed to put them up and wished I had a model but because I got the sunnies for free, I had to put up pics of me wearing them. Next time I don't think I will accept free things like that as I am not too good looking for those sort of things.
I will stick to putting up pics of my sewing and plants and dead birds and such.
Hugs to all…

Loving Spring and latest quilt to show.

I love Spring…..especially when birds make nests in my garden and lay their eggs and a pair of Doves (not white ones but greyish ones) have laid two eggs in the nest they made in the little tree in the garden.

Look at those lovely eggs…..that means two more gorgeous little Doves will be in our garden and our very clever Bella keeps the norty bird hunting cats away….she chases them out and barks at them……so hopefully they wont come back and eat these little babies when they hatch.

I have a very proud husband…..he designed a quilt and chose what fabrics he wanted the quilt to be sewn up with and this is the final result.

Some things……..

Do you love doily's? I do and this one I got in a quaint little shop at Sovereign Hill near Ballarat in Victoria when I went there the other day.

I love birds too…..and this one I decided needed a place to sit and ponder about what is going on.

I think it needs an eye……cant see much without one.

I got quite a few of the little jars it is sitting on so I might have to make some more.

Hope you are having a great weekend

Hugs To All….
