While we were at the Quilt Show at Darling Harbour we also took the opportunity to have a look around the Harbour itself...
We came across the HMAS Endeavour which is a replica of the boat that Captain James Cook sailed to Australia on...
Closer up to her...
Looking up at the mast...
I fell in love with this magnificent boat and thought it was so beautiful...
all the workmanship involved, just amazing!
Looking towards North Sydney...
I hadn't been to the Quilt Show for about 10 years and I felt like I have just had a mini holiday along with Mr Armchair and JoJo...
I have thoroughly enjoyed myself......loved the blogmeet and I think a lot of us bloggers felt like we 'just knew each other'
Thank you so much Chooky for organizing this......
You have done a fantastic job in getting us all together...
Here's to the next time we all meet!!!
And here's a post I've been meaning to do for a while...
from this Womens Weekly Old Fashioned Favourites...
Orange Cake...
Some Chocolate Raspberry Muffins from a Donna Hay magazine made by Deb...
And here's JoJo chatting with Deb...
It was a lovely morning with us all getting to know each other!
I have an extra copy of this months Australian Good Food magazine if any one would like a chance at it...
just pop on over to My Dolce Vita and leave a comment and I will draw it on Friday!

I need to make one soon.....and you are enjoying the REDS while I have my mind on the pink tickle of the bubbles...oh would I ever love to be at that harbour today; we are having 100+ degrees, FARENHEIT!

Very nice images folks and I really like the ones of that ship. We in the states are receiving some pretty hot temps across the whole country, so I trust that you guys are much cooler than we are right about now! Richard from the Amish settlement of Lebanon,pa
