Loving a Long Weekend

I seemed to have had a very relaxed time but tinkered with lots of bits....
Cut out loads of clamshells and basted them, thanks to generous friends...
In fact I ran out of available papers so had to get to and sew row 17 on.
Brinton Hall....the next UFO project got some attention and more hexies were sewn together.
"Libby the Librarian " from Angel Story was completed. A few alternative design elements had to happen because I kept messing up the tiny collar...bit challenging in needleturn. But I am happy with how Libby turned out.

I also did some work on an art project.....you can read about that HERE
Time was also allocated for some much needed wandering up in the bush. Since I returned from my holidays I have been embracing my "inner heffalump" and devouring any sweet treat silly enough to get in my way! My walking had dwindled as the weather warmed up.
Little bit of discussion with self and walking as well as swimming is back on the agenda....I am not aiming for svelte....I just want to have my energy back and fit into my shrinking wardrobe.....
So these have been getting a work out again.
When I am in the bush, inhaling the scents, seeing critters about I  wonder why I got  so lazy and denied myself this pleasure.

We humans are funny folk!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    We are indeed funny, Michelle! Must admit I have been inactive for a while, but it's been so hot and that heat really knocks me about. It's been good weather to stay inside and sew.

    Always the way Michelle, once we are out and about we are happy and wondering why we do not do it on a regular basis!!Is hard getting out in the heat though. Your clamshells look fantastic as do the hexies, you had a productive weekend.

    Your projects are all so beautiful Michelle. My hubby bought me new trainers last year ... I overheard him telling someone the other day "funny thing how they don't walk themselves". I need to give mine a workout too. Have a super week Michelle. Xx

    Oh dear, is it the heat then? My inner Heffalump has been emerging lately, looking for a sugar hit and not walking as much. The shrinking wardrobe is a pest! Libby the Librarian is quite the character, I like her. xx

    Beautiful projects. If i had somewhere lovely to walk i'd take it up again. It's the one thing i do miss from Tannum Sands, i used to walk lots as there was so many beautiful places to walk. Hugs,xx

    Your clamshells are looking wonderful and have grown heaps. I think as the weather gets hotter we certainly tend to exercise less, but a walk in the bush you can't beat
