Clever Folks

I had a beautiful Yoga class this morning....thank you Helen. Loved it. I bought some little gifts home from my Yoga sisters today...
Freshly picked avocados from Sam's trees. Thank you Miss Sam x
and inside here are another little gift.
No it's not asparagus.....inside are my very own little compost worms. YAY!!! Terribly excited. I know you may think I am crazy but I have been wanting to make my own worm farm for ages ( I know it doesn't look pretty but it has every thing required) and thanks to my friend Helen my farm now has residents. I have been researching and reading for ages so thank you Miss Helen for the wrigglies...made my day. I guess you have to be careful who you announce to that "you now have worms" LOL!

Now on to clever people. Our blogging friend Val Spiers has embarked on a little journey making the most amazing glass adornments e.g buttons for bags and lovely pendants which are well known patchwork blocks...they are so cute and very reasonable priced too. They come in a lovely little box and are already just to slide on to your favourite neck chain. Perfect as a gift for a 'stitchy' friend (or yourself) Val's new endeavour is called "Glass Applique"
and you can pop over to the website and have a little peek.....Here                                                         
















On the stitching front I am still addicted to making little Christmas trees and have been working on my red hexies and they are making a very nice little pile.  
                                                                              



That's it from me as I am losing patience (yes even after a Yoga class) with this stupid blogger not letting me align my text properly....has a spack from time to time, so apologise if it looks all weird and all over the place
Enjoy your evening all,
Blessings Michelle xxx

    Ah, avocados: food of the gods!
    Blogger can be such a pain at times.
    Worm farms, a worthy and environmentally sound idea ... which I will never follow because I absolutely can't abide little crawly critters. You can have 'em!

    I had a worm farm a few years ago, then I got chooks and couldn't keep the scraps up to both. Although at the moment I don't have either. Lovely redwork there Michelle. Hugs.....

    Hello Michelle,

    Good luck with your worm farm, we killed ours in the heat. Did you watch Gardening Australia on the weekend, there was a great article about things like this. You can watch it on-line.
    Val is so talented isn't she.
    I wish I had someone gift me some avacado, enjoy.

    Happy days.
    Bev.

    I so love avocados. I have just started putting them in salads this week. Nice blurb. Thanks very much. I hope the worms go well. Worm water is great for veggies. I really like the stitchy hexies.

    Good luck with your worms Michelle!! Lol! Ours got cooked in the heat of last summer - I wonder why plastic worm farms are made with black plastic?? Didn't help that I forgot to put in water though!! Love your hexies! I miss the avocado's from he trees we got in NZ, have been paying $4.00 each for them here!

    Oh boy a worm farm. Is this something you put in your gardens and it helps the soil? Your Christmas ornaments look great.
