Yesterday was a special day as our DD had one of "those" birthdays....boy time has flown by....
Celebration with her Year 3's......seems like yesterday she was this big!
Now....all grown up!
So Happy birthday Daughter Dear.
We are celebrating next weekend! Girls only...NO BOYS ALLOWED!
Splendid Sampler blocks are slowly getting sewn together and I am working on some applique for it.
The lenghths a girl will go to, to avoid sashing and finishing foundation pieced blocks lol! But I will have a finished quilt top instead of a box of blocks.
Art has been a finish......The magnificent Osprey that I worked in Scratchboard from a wonderful photo that Kev Webb, bird photographer extraordinaire gave me permission to draw.
It just needed a bit of tweaking and I am still learning the colouring process.
There has also been progress on Mother and Baby no.2
And of course there has to be a new project start. This is evolving as I go....there is a Willy Wagtail involved but I really wanted to get his chariot drawn correctly first.
Messy huh? Lol! I was hanging over the fence at the Hebel Hotel to photograph this old tilly.....I just loved it. I have been looking forward to drawing a piece with it featured.
It's nice and cool here this morning and I am enjoying my coffee and listening to the pair of Currawongs who visit my Jacaranda tree and birdbath calling to each other. It is a lovely sound in suburbia.
Have a wonderful day.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
