Good morning on this glorious Brisbane winter's morning.....beautiful sunshine streaming in through the windows whilst I write this post to you.
I got to share our beautiful weather with my friend Liz from our southern states, here to visit family this week.
We set off and stroked a bit of pretty fabric. Some came home with me.....
After that time for a coffee and chat. I took Liz to a very nice cafe with an amazing view of our city...bit hazy but still lovely.
The cafe is at the Mt Gravatt lookout and the cafe is called the Love Well Project.
We had a delicious Devonshire Tea.....
Which we throughly enjoyed along with a catchup about life and stitching. A lovely morning with lovely company.
I will definitely be coming here again.....with Mr R. You see along with many other young Brisbane courting couples, we used to come up here for a kiss and a cuddle when we were dating lol! It used to be very busy.....premium lovers lookout!
I have to more little tags to add to my growing pile of tags for Ruth's Quilt by Leanne Beasley.....
Most of my stitching has been on my UFO CHALLENGE list project.
Slow going but progress is being made.
Apart from stitchery the right hand side is sewn.....
I love needleturn but these tiny bits are teaching me patience or pointing out that I am lacking in that department......also the old adage....finished is better than perfectly unfinished! I placed a 5c piece next to the leaves to show you their size.
I am having a quiet weekend. Keeping the Mister company as he nurses his very sore mouth and jaw......so more stitching on my Yoko Saito block and a play with my pencils. I often relish being quiet. How about you?
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely spot for a cuppa with a friend! Such pretty applique and yes, it is a bit teeny tiny......but very sweet and delicate.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful spot to have a cuppa and chat with your friend, no wonder it was a favourite place for young lovers ❤️
