I had a very enjoyable Friday with lots of bits and pieces and a nice walk into the bargain.
Firstly the sewing. I finished preparing two Dresden plates for Flowerville....so fiddly but so pretty.
I went stash diving for some fabrics to cut out for the central block of an upcoming project...that I am trying NOT to start but I suspect will get me eventually.
During the evening I worked on getting some more elongated hexies sewn together. They took no concentration really and I was tired after my walk. Thanks
WENDY *** for hosting us all again.
I found the Postie had left me a parcel on returning from my wander.....some pretty French General fabric bits and bobs.
I took my tablet on my wander and took some photos. So if you aren't in to scenery look away now. It was lovely and quiet up in the Bush......as I have been very slack of late I thought it would do me good to walk up the steep set of stairs to begin....and quite a few of them....if you enlarge the pics you will see them.....it's quite a hike up there to the top paths.
After I got my breath back it was a very nice wander along the paths.....
Some little jewels along the way......
My favourite kind of wattle....love the little golden puff balls. This one was young and just starting to come into blossom.
Part of the park has had a controlled burn and there were lots of Kookaburras taking advantage of an easy way to spot prey. You may just be able to spot 3 of them sitting together. I didn't want to disturb them by moving closer for a photo.
We have had a few showers so there was a trickle in the creek.
The ferns were such a brilliant green and quite lush.
Love this grass tree sending up its spear!
In fact I just love this little bit of nature in my corner of suburbia. It is a testament to the adage.....Quality not Quantity.
It occurred to me whilst walking and feeling so much better being out amongst the trees and rocks and ferns.......that if politicians and others spent time in nature they may feel more inclined to protect it!
Anyway time for me to be off....I wish you all a lovely weekend. It is showery and overcast here so a good day for quiet pursuits.
Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
Such a lovely peaceful walk. Looove your dresdens! Lovely fabrics and EPP. Enjoy stitching.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Dresdens, well worth the fiddle Michelle and your elongated hexies are great too. Always good to get out into nature, those steps would be good for the heart rate! Politicians could learn a lot from listening to people.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Dresdens. Love the photo's from your nature walk, looks lovely & peaceful. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on your walk, Michelle.....so beautiful, and so peaceful. Looking forward to seeing "that which shall not be started"!
ReplyDeleteThank you for inviting me on your walk. I enjoyed every step. Pretty plates.
ReplyDeleteThe flowerville dresdens are lovely. And well done getting on to the hexies as well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect time for a walk as well.
It always surprises me, but shouldn't, how different the flora and fauna is compared to the uk.
ReplyDeleteThe dresden and hexies look great.
it's good to have something mindless to do for those those times...when you just want something easy.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see this new project - has someone been leading you astray?? LOL
You are so fortunate to have such a lovely trail nearby. I too am lucky with the trails near me. Gracie, my dog, loves it too. Glad I don't have those steps though! Hahaha! Great job on your sewing projects too. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely Dresden plates, and elongated hexies! Beautiful scenery around your place.
ReplyDeleteThe Dresdens are so pretty and so are your new projects ... and the endless row of elongated hexagons.. need the variety to keep the motivation. That looks such a lovely walk, I don't really like hills and steps but sometimes they are essential....

ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful bush walk you have Michelle. Love the three kookaburras and especially the Golden Wattle. I have not seen one of them in years, and love them so much. You have been busy on some pretty projects: Flowerville is gorgeous, and the blue and cream looks very promising! xxx
