Rain on the Roof

I love the sound of rain on the roof when you are lying in your bed. Nice soft raindrops....the garden is loving them too.
Oh how I  wish I could send it to those who need it....
Some areas of Queensland have had some decent falls and others not....Rain! Such a precious thing. Hoping it keeps falling for those who really need it.
This city slicker has been rifling through her stash for pretty candidates for her new little project...

They go so nicely with the thread I am using I think. I have had the little print earmarked for a while now. Even though I tend to use mainly DMC tbreads, Country Garden Threads Mistletoe is one I love and use a lot too.
I also have a hankering for some of these.
These baby Dresdens are so sweet when done....the trick is going to be finding complimentary scrappies to make the blades from my stash...I do like a challenge.
Well. Best finish the last little stitchery and then get started on my little plates.
Whatever you are doing, do it with your whole heart. It changes the ordinary into the sacred.
Nana joy...my gorgeous girls!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

  2. Yes, loving the rain up here. Came in the nick of time as our main dam is running low and we were about to go on even tighter water restrictions...not out of the woods yet. Love your choice of fabric for your new project.

  7. No rain but plenty of wind the previous 3 days 24/7. Thought the roof would blow off but at least the towels dried quickly on the line ( well pegged). Love Mistletoe CGT too. Looking forward to seeing your Dresden and stitchery.
