| Sunday afternoon the sky looked like this! |
Welcome to Monday Everyone. Well didn't we have some wild and wooly weather over the weekend. We were visited by very black, green and forboding skies on Saturday afternoon and a very fierce storm arrived soon after. We thankfully didn't get any damage but many other poor souls did. Mother Nature is a force to reckoned with when she gets angry that is for sure. The photo doesn't really show how dark it was. It was if it was night time. The vegies have gone nuts, we even had enough lettuce for a salad and sandwich. Yum!
Anyway weather side the Dear One was on call so we were kept pretty close to home and so....stitching!!
I have a couple of sneak peeks to show you of what I have been working on that will be revealed much later down the track.
I also only have 2 blocks to go on "My Country Garden" woo hoo!

| The colours haven't shown up properly but they are very rich especially the chocolate. It was a jelly roll from Moda (Barbara Brackman's Climbing Jacobs Ladder) I recieved as a gift from a very nice friend. |

| Hmm! What will you be??? |
 |
| And of course some redwork......did I tell you I love redwork...oh I remember many times. Sorry! |
 |
| Aren't they just so pretty! |
I know I am a bit behind everyone else but I have seen all you stitchers out there doing lovely things with this thread so... last week I bought some gorgeous "Cottage Garden Threads" from
MAREE at Ollie & May to try out on a special project I have in mind featuring my furry little favourites...some bears. Oh they are just so beautiful to stitch with and the colours...devine! I might even have to have some more yet.I like that they are hand dyed here in Australia too. The only problem I have is that they look so cute in their wrappers I hate to undo them to use. BUT I WILL! And I have!
Well that was my weekend doings. I hope you enjoyed yours!
I am off to 'bend and stretch' and undo some of the 'curled on the couch stitching' crinks.
Enjoy your day.

p.s. glad to hear the veg are growing and you are getting to eat them.
Those are some scary clouds for sure! Glad you're ok. Love the look of your stitching!
ReplyDeleteBlerk weather is always a good excuse to get creative and make lovely things.
ReplyDeleteI havent used Cottage Garden threads yet but I keep hearing such good things about them I think I'll have to invest in some!
Yes it wasn't very nice on Saturday, but Sunday was perfect. Monday was blah as well, perfect sewing weather. Lots of beautiful things you have been working on Michelle, lovely.
ReplyDeleteG'day Michelle. Your sewing looks just lovely. I have been using Cottage Garden Threads for some time now and I just love them. I recently bought another four and yes, they do look great when you get them and it's a shame to open them up, but they are such a pleasure to use. Take care. Liz...
