Busy, Happy Days

Not a lot of sewing has been done these past few days as I have been out at the Mt Cootha Botanical Gardens for the Queensland Wildlife Artists Society exhibition.
Which you can read about HERE****
I love our Botanical Gardens......a walk around is always a must...bottle trees .....my home town is renowned for them!



I always visit these two charming chaps....entitled the "Butterfly Chasers"

I do have a hope that one day my yellow Clivia will deliver some blooms like this *sigh
Even though it is very dry, lots of swathes of delicate colour to admire...



And my favourite.....the Sacred Lotus pond.....
Here is what I had been stitching before I went up the garden path....next round on 1797Revisted quilt. It is taking huge amounts of willpower not to get distracted lol!

I think perhaps today I shall be doing a bit of what my bronze friend is doing...
Bye....
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    I enjoyed "our walk" around those lovely botanical gardens. Sometimes a long term project can be tedious.

    Lovely garden to have a wander around, those bottle trees are fantastic. Just imagine when you have finished 1797, all that work will be so worth it.

    The gardens look lovely. A nice change from all we are seeing with the fires.

    What lovely photos of your world, Michelle. I can soak up a little of that sun as we steadily move into winter. Yes, EPP anything takes a lot of time! But this will be another stunner when done. Happy Stitching!
