...mornings are getting chillier, as are the days, although there is still some warm sunshine to be enjoyed...everyone is still waiting for rain, too...
...it's also pretty dark when we go for a morning walk at the moment - we're seeing the sunrise on most of our walks - although all that will change when daylight savings ends...
...spent a lovely weekend at Writers' Week again this year - it never disappoints...
...been working on a new batch of polymer jewellery (adding yellow clay to my range), as well as finishing off some bronze & copper...
...attended our first Wirrabara Producers Market for the year, on a lovely cool, sunny autumn morning...
...we've had a mammoth crop from the peach tree this year, delicious but slightly overwhelming. They are lovely fresh -sweet & juicy - & we're doing our best to use & preserve as many as possible - in baked goods, poached, dried, stewed & we're going to have a go at peach jam + we're giving a heap away...
...for the past couple of years I've been making hot cross buns using our breadmaker, but since that bit the dust last year, I decided to try & find a recipe which didn't require one. I made a batch last week using this recipe (I used some spices (cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg & ginger) instead of the orange zest) & was very happy with how they turned out (I often don't bother with the cross, as you can see above ^^^)...
...finished the mandala/zentangle piece I was working on & have started another (although I'm not sure I like the new one yet)...
...enjoyed creating something purely for it's own sake & spent an afternoon taking still-life photos on my window sill (been posting some on instagram too).
