Wings and Pretty Things

After getting all the butterflies appliqued into the corners of Wings....
I cut out all the applique block backgrounds.
Chose fabrics for the first applique block...
With this block all set to go I started on the four little Dresden Plates for the corners of this row.....so cute! They will mirror the large Dresden Plate in the centre.
It's Big Sister!

Nice that this project is gradually coming together.

Lovely mail this week. A beautifully card of a painting of snowy owls and a very sweet addition to my collection of Beatrix Potter cards from the wonderful Sue in the UK....so spoilt! Thank you so very much Sue.....I love them!
Lastly I thought I would share this little Elf......a tree Elf with her teddy friend.....circa 1960's.....Grandies asked if that was an olden day "elf on the shelf" lol! It belonged to my MIL and she gave it to me early in our marriage.....so funny! Enjoy your evening.

Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    Wings is looking wonderful you are making great progress. It is lovely to have decorations with a family connection. Grandies always see things in a different light don't they 😆
