Beautiful Lilies

Flowers are starting to appear again, these lilies are filling my house with a delicate perfume.  Orchids are just starting to bloom again in the garden.

First of the orchids this winter in the garden

After weeks of rain last Sunday we saw the sun all day for the first time, oh how one misses the sun when it not there.

I can now tell you what I have been up to over the last 2 weeks patchwork wise, I have been test stitcher for some of the most delightful designs of the Bunny Annabelle blocks, Michele asked if I would like to do this and I jumped at the idea as I have a wee grandchild arriving in Jan 2013!!!!! So far I have made several of these beautiful blocks here is a peep at 3 of my blocks.

I have never used 100% wool felt before when doing appliqué and I must admit the 100% wool felt is a dream to use compared to the nylon felt I’m use to using in craft work down here in Australia.

Helping

I can see in the future I will be using this lovely 100% wool felt a lot more.  If you want to see more about Annabelle

check out Michele’s link on Esther Aliu’s  blog which I link to every Wednesday

http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com Esther designs beautiful beautiful quilts and is very very generous with her time and knowledge and puts up free patterns on the 15th of every month on her blog.  I personally have learnt so much from Esther and love her appliqué work.

Fruit

Wonderful fresh fruit all year round for us.

and honey

are abundant this year. We have a very large container of honeycomb ready to box up in to small containers and the rest squeezed for liquid honey this is on the list to do today.

Our Tropical Winter moon-rises are always so spectacular near full moon here. We have a river below our home where there is a weir so we have some beautiful water reflections this time of the year as the moon rises all so.

Tropical night!!!!! Worth clicking to enlarge.

We are having the Venus eclips here today, I wonder if I will be able to see it. I will let you know next week if I see it????

Don’t believe every thing you read?????  Last night I decided to give my self a make over, I’d bought some medium blond hair colour and some eyelash medium brown colour, well the the eyebrows now are now dark-brown instead of white and blonde but my hair???? is now dark brown instead of medium blonde,  I’m a ex hairdresser and realised that the colour was not correctly labelled when I saw black developing instead of light brown  and wash it out after 5 mins of applying but it is still medium brown to dark brown, I keep seeing this strange lady in my house as I have mirrors every where to give the look of more space or let the views of the rainforest come inside, I think I will have to cover them all with scarves or my head as I get quiet a shock seeing this stranger in my home!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m off to pull out my Peaceful Pathways  designed by Esther I think the rain has stopped this time round; and wash some more of my winter woolies

One of my giant wool jackets I wear these over top of every thing while sitting at the computer instead of putting heaters on.

as the evenings and mornings call for them again.

All for now cheers Glenda.
