Rocking Cradles ......

First of all - HOORAY!!  The rain has ceased!
We are very lucky here - no major flooding or damage;  but just an hour and a half up the highway, the town of Grafton and surrounding area is suffering major flooding with three thousand people evacuated from their homes!   I feel for all those people and those in Queensland who have lost so much.  And to think that the State of Victoria is burning!

I've been busy making.  Finished so far are these two rocking cradles - trimmed with some antique lace that I was lucky enough to find a few years ago.




And now I'm going back to work on picnic baskets.  I hope you all have a wonderful week - and take care.

  4. Oh yes Lidi, it's a strange old country we live in!! Burning one minute flooding the next. My thoughts go out to all the people effected by these disasters!

    These rocking cradles are just beautiful and the antique lace is the perfect addition.

  7. We had 47.5 degrees locally a week ago then pouring rain and chill over the long weekend, it sure is changeable, but thankfully no flooding in my area either, awful for those hit by floods again so soon after the last major event.
    I just love your rocking cradles Lidi, with antique lace they are stunning.

  11. Hi Lidi,

    Sorry to post this on your blog but I am just a little concerned.I just received an email from you that I think might be a scam email.

    I thought maybe you should check it out.

    I hope it's okay.
