Edible WOW

A chocloate Easter wombat! A gift from my friend Jasmine, when we caught up for our annual chat at the folk festival at Easter. So far it's still intact because how can I bring myself to eat a wombat, even a chocolate one? But no doubt the day will come when nothing but chocolate will do, and the wombat will be sacrificed.

And a Canadian friend has sent me some beautiful fabric with a design of red maple leaves, aren't friends wonderful! So I will re-think the Maple Leaf table runner design and use this fabric instead, my swirly red and white fabrics will go into another project. Possibly a larger Maple Leaf quilt........I've never been a 'red' person but this could change.......

Speaking of colour.....today we had to make a small foray to the shops and I noticed the displays for Mother's Day next month - they are pink. Pink packaging, pink products. Who decided that women must have pink? Not all women like it, I have never been a pink girl (neither would you be if you had auburn hair, brown eyes and freckles), neither of my girls-in-law are pink either. And purple - I have very few purple garments because of the poem "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple" - I don't think of myself as old, therefore I don't wear purple. Now green, for instance, or yellow; that's what I like. Why doesn't the poem start "When I am an old woman I shall wear sunshine"?

Have a sunny week.
