Musicians at Monsalvat

The first group we listened to was the Paul Williamson Hammond Combo. Then The Andrea Keller Quartet followed by Wilson/Magnussen/Hale Trio.

Sorry to say it was getting too late to stay for the Allan Browne Qunitet which was a shame but we will plan better if they have this event next year.

More photos from our day at Monsalvat including a Kookaburra who was sitting in the sun on the ground when we stumbled on him but he quickly flew up into a near by tree.

The peacock was also sunning himself and later in the evening tried singing along with the Jazz players!

Jazz at Monsalvat

Well it was a glorious spring day in Melbourne yesterday and we headed out to Eltham to a Jazz event at the Monsalvat Artist's Colony.

Just had to share some photos of the property and a couple of the actual musicians. These are a bit fuzzy but my little camera is not designed for distance in the dark shots...lol

More T-slider cards

In these cards I have placed the tab on either the other side or the top for variety:)

T Slider cards

I had a lovely day down in Geelong last wednesday with my crafty friends and Jackie showed us how to make T-slider cards. Was not sure before going that they would be my "thing" but let me tell you I am hooked and have made 8 more already...yes I can be obsessive...just a wee bit...hehe

Here are a few to whet your appetite.

I'm interrupting this Blog to say Thank you.

I just had to stop my travelogue to say thank you to a few friends who kindly sent me cards to wish me well.
While on our wonderful holiday (stories and photos of which I will get back to) I had a fall and a week later pinched the nerves in my back. Anyway flat on my back has been my position of most comfort for about 6 weeks. No fun:(
Marion, Kerri, Louise and Bambi all sent me cards(and flowers) and have been my cheer up club.
Others have brought me food parcels and checked to make sure all is well, thanks Lynette and Gay.

Tassy Travel 8

These intrepid folk were getting ready to paddle up the Gordon River for a 4 hour trip.

This is a stand of young Huon Pine.

Would you believe this fallen tree is about 2000 years old!
