Not a lot done in the sewing area of quilting , mostly repair work every now and then it has to be done LOL. Plus the house work this time of the year is never ending as the mould seems to grow over night here is an example of how bad it gets.
Part of a slatted door and behind them are some of my quilts with a small heater to keep them dry as the humidity is around 80 to 90 % in the wet season which is now.
Yep thats mould???? I have cleaned 3 doors and this one is on the to do list today. Not sure it will get done though. LOL
Last week I rearranged my sewing room and took out the Huge work table I had in there it was just too big for the size of the room and since then I have spent so much time in there and really enjoyed it, I can see where every thing and get to every thing now.
I'm even utilising the kiddy gate in to my sewing room, it is to keep out my DGD aged 14months who now can run every where so quickly.
I have put my spare sewing machines and overlocker on to a tea-trolly and can use the space as a work table. Here I'm fixing a puzzle box for DGD, repairing a Papua New Guinea wall hanging, and cutting out part of LE design for marking.
My cutting board is area is been used to rethread some broken beads.
My little table that was supporting the big table top is just the right size to work on my LE. I have finally started to appliqué my second circle of hearts to my centre. It is such a joy to work in my sewing room now.
I have spent quiet a few hours making tiny parts for my LE in future Parts 7 and 8. This way I'm not going to end up making the same pieces over and over. Plus they look so nice laid out in my box all those different colours LOL.
Garden wise not a lot to see it is so so wet I need gumboots to walk around it.
Broms way up high leave a splash of colour
I have even had to bleach the water fountain as the water and ball had turned green???
Even the river looks dirty this morning and the creepers are smothering the rainforest trees.
But even when it looks so drab and gloomy you find incredible beauty nature at it's best . How wonderful these two colours go together, this is a small flower on one of Hubbies Broms.
Branches on one of my citrus trees is covered in these caterpillars I don't know what this turns in to it is new to me???? Even after 17 years living here I get a surprise now and then.
All I know about this fellow is don't touch??? Many of the hairy caterpillars are very poisonous to touch.
Off to link up with Esther’s WOW http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com now and look at some of the others who have linked there too. Cheers Glenda Australia.
living with that high of humidity is more than we have – I take it you do not have Air Conditioning – is it not used very much in Australia? I have read of others that mention high humidity in their homes as well. Here in the southern US most have A/C and don’t know what to do without it in the summer time. I enjoy your photos as always!
Oh Glenda you’ve got some fantastic stuff going on there. I am always in awe at the Love Entwined progress that you ladies make — just spectacular. Your garden shots look wonderful compared to what we have here in the states – nothing but snow ;( For your garden pot you might try using apple cider or white vinegar instead of bleach. It’s more safe for the surroundings and does a fantastic job. Sometimes I mix mine with baking soda too to get a little “gritty” scrub. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures! Karen
Sounds like the conditions in Hawaii when i visit friends there. They have a dehumidifier going all the time in their art/library room. Beautiful LE, Glenda!
Looking as organised as ever Glenda! I love your LE production line, it looks like you are ready to get some serious quilting done! I’m spending this afternoon tidying up the house, it feels like it never ends. How many times a year do you have to de-mould?
