I bought a plate from wildlife artist, Nathan Ferlazzo......100% profits went to wildlife charities helping wildlife from the Bush fires....I chose a Magpie.
I was after the koala but the good news is.....they were SOLD OUT along with lots of other designs! So great result!
We had Granddaughter Miss E. visit this week and she helped her Grampy makes some scones to have with jam and cream. She loves to bake.
We were told with confidence that she could beat the cream.....and lick the beaters after....lol! They were very delicious and Miss E. took hers home to share with her family!
I have a tiny room where I sew and to be brutally honest....it was a disgrace! So I have spent several days having a good old cull.......into charity bags and the bin. I disposed of sooo much paperwork from my other life as a craft magazine contributor......very freeing! I can now SEE my cutting board and shelves. I still have some sorting in the fabric draws but it feels so much better.....
I am still working way on 1797.....not boring you with another pic lol!
A nice surprise in the garden also this week.....my yellow Clivia has flowered after 6 long years of waiting. It was a gift for a special birthday from my dear friend Gaye who sadly passed away......
I had to wait until some heavy showers passed to get a photo....and the raindrops looked just beautiful! I think the secret may have been DDs little Preppies class. They have a worm farm and collect the "tea" and bottle it as a fundraiser...... in desperation I gave the Clivia a good drink of it.....anyway....happy dance here!
That's me done for the week......hairdressing appointment now to make myself bewtiful!
I wish you all a lovely weekend.
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
Doesn’t it feel good to have your sewing space tidied. We’ll see lots of creativity now, I’m sure. The clivia flower is lovely. Well worth the wait and a nice reminder of your friend.
ReplyDeleteYour Clivea is really lovely Michelle - I like it more than the orange ones we have. I will look out for it at the nursery. Well done with the fertiliser! The magpie plate is a real art piece and a lovely fundraiser. I am looking out for similar opportunities to help our country. Nothing beats scones, jam and cream, especially with a little granddaughter involved. xxxx
ReplyDeletealways good to have a clear out - though not always fun.
ReplyDeleteA sewing room clean out is good for the creativity. I have all my old magazine paperwork too and I honestly don't know why I'm holding onto it all as I have it all digitally too.
ReplyDeleteYour clivia is so pretty. Is it a scented flower?
Have a lovely weekend xx
