Controlled burn at last

8 11 2009

Finally! While we were in NSW, the local fire authorities did a controlled burn of the bush block behind our house.

My local contact reckons it’s been 20+ years since it was burned, based on some of the rubbish they found on the block when they burned it. That’s a BIG fuel load. I feel a little safer now, though if fire gets into the crowns of the trees…

10th Etsy Treasury

8 11 2009

One of my olive fabric items from my Etsy store was just listed in a Greek-themed Etsy Treasury — my 10th! Here’s the link: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=74792 and here’s a screen shot (Treasuries are only ‘live’ for a few days, so the link won’t work soon).
