Spider Web Cushion!

The weekend was spent finishing off some projects. ..my spider web stitchery I made up into a cushion. It's nice to finally have it finished, as I have been unsure what to make it into...wall hanging or cushion. As I don't have a lot of wall space, decided on a cushion!

The garden is starting to come to life...buds on my Banksia, which covers the cubby house and my weeping cherry is also in bud. Anxiously waiting to take some pics of them when they flower.

I hope you enjoy your week

Daffodils

I thought I would go and have a look at my daffodils, as I hadn't checked them out in a while...and was quite pleased at the variety of colours. They were planted a couple of years ago, but last year Jess (our golden retriever) would dig them out, so they didn't get a chance to fully flower. I never seem to have much luck with bulbs, as I always seem to dig into them when I'm weeding the garden...but these ones I have in a wine barrel which is much better!

My little blue wren that visits daily, has been without his little partner for a few days now...maybe she's sitting on the nest and we'll have baby wrens visit soon...well that's what I'm hoping!

A Little One!

Yes I have to admit, I do have a bag addiction! But whilst I was making my previous bag, I had the idea for this little one...just a very simple stitchery and design which makes it very quick to make!

It seems every time I hop on the computer the kids need (nag) me for something...now I am needed to do a taxi run!

'My Garden' Bag Finished!

Nice to have another finish...even though hubby tells me 'not another bag'! I went out to the sewing room this morning, to finish off the bag, and discovered the wall near my wood heater was black with ants! Wonder if that means a change in weather...but I know I don't like sharing my sewing room with ants!!!!

Todays sewing!

It was nice to get out into the sewing room this morning and do some sewing...even though it's only a little one! The little stitchery took no time to stitch last night and hopefully I will get a chance to get back out this arvo to make the matching bag.

I hope you are getting a chance for some craftiness this weekend!

A Garden Welcome!

Horrible, cold and windy day here today, with the power going off at about 9.30am and coming back on at about 8pm. All the things I do automatically do each day could not be done...washing, ironing and vacuuming! So the only thing left to do was to sit and stitch!!! I hope to get this one made up over the weekend if all goes well!

Todays Favourite pics!

I don't think that Jess was very impressed having her picture taken with the turtle...although it did cause me much amusement!lol!

Just like clock work our little wrens visits about 10am, lunchtime (when this pic was taken) and at 4pm, as I am typing this he is just outside the sliding door, playing with his little partner!

A Small Finish

I managed to finish off my Needles and Pins today...just a simple needle book with pincushion attached.

I have also been cleaning up some old projects to put on my verandah. The doll I made a few years back, and the folk art drum I painted about 5 years ago...everything was spray painted black a painted with natives back then!

We had a gorgeous spring day here today...but unfortunately the dreaded wind is back tomorrow!

Bye For Now
