Monday night Travis Cloake and a couple of rookies from the Collingwood Football Club came to Yarrambat to do some drills with the boys. There was even a hand-balling competition which Nelson won. He was lucky enough to get a new Yarrambat Football bag. The zip's broken on his old one so now I don't have to buy a replacement!
Here's Nelson getting Travis' autograph on his footy jumper.

I cut into one of the pumpkins that had popped up in the garden from the compost. It was so orange that it stained my hand. I made a big pot of yummy pumpkin soup with it. It's fantastic eating things that have come out of your own garden.
I have been getting a little sewing done.
I made this bag for a friend's significant birthday.
Another Dee Dee Dolphin.

I've also been a bit lucky lately and have won a few prizes from blogs.
I won this a little while ago from Jo of Jo's Country Junction and forgot to post about it. It's some tape to fuse pieces of batting together. I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Thanks Jo!
I also won these gorgeous wooden buttons and pattern from Lisa of Button Bliss. Thank you Lisa.
This parcel arrived from Michelle of The Raspberry Rabbits. Two beautiful applique books plus a couple of raspberry chocolates and some tea to enjoy while I read them. Thank you Michelle (and Harrington).
I've certainly been very lucky lately. There's something else that I've won but I'll post about that when it arrives.If only I could be so lucky and win lotto!

I tried a pumpkin soup recipe once and HATED it. But then I don't much like squash either and it tasted squashy.
You are on a winning streak!
