I've been crafty...

Yes it's true!

I've been working away at this little quilt for a while now. A few moments here, a few moments there. Today I finished piecing the top together. It's such a relief to have it done. Now I can get onto some hand quilting on the couch. Not right now... maybe tonight, or tomorrow night. I think I'll stitch different size circles all over. What do you think?

I want to finish it soon so I can gift it to a darling little baby named Izzy. I had originally intended these fabrics for our baby... but he turned out to be a boy. As much as colours are for everyone... there may just be a bit too much pink in this one.

It's as wonky as anything, but I'm a great fan of the wonk. Beauty in imperfection, I say.
The bluebird fabric is a sweet vintage flannel I found on ebay many moons ago. The spots are honeycomb & the floral was from spotlight. The floral matches the honeycomb colours perfectly, they just had to be together.

There's been lots of rain down our way, the ground is so muddy. The ducks think it's fantastic, they waddle around making mud puddles everywhere. The chickens however, are not so impressed. They all shelter around the house, looking like drowned rats. Such different creatures.

I'm loving the bright winter blooms. The camelias & jonquils are out in force, the wattle flowers can be seen for miles & the roses & daffodils are slowly making their entrance too. This pretty lot are now sitting in a vase upon my table. Lovely.

I scored bigtime at the oppie yesterday. A whole heap of vintage linen & 5 old jars for the pantry. The linen is being relieved of it's op shop aroma, I'll show you when they're dry.

Happy weekend to you.
