It was a glorious day.....blue skies and sunshine. The fish and chips weren't bad either!
It was quite busy so we found a quieter spot to enjoy them and then had a lovely walk by the marina. I always love the views of all the masts and white boats against the sky and water.
Never tire of bright red bottlebrush bushes in flower.
After that lunch easy peasy toasties for tea for us.
For FNWF I wanted to finish off the last 4 squares on Nature's Journey.
I then worked on a little orphan block of 2 inch clamshells. I found it when looking for another pouch for a project. Originally it was for Brinton Hall but never was used. So I hate to waste things and I added 3 rows.
In the same pouch I found some pretty floral clamshells....they were for a gift that turned out to be not suitable for the person.
So folks that was my very enjoyable Friday. Thanks to CHERYLL from Gone Stitchin for gathering us together again across the country and across the waves.
Until next time, take good care of yourself.
Beautiful flowers Michelle, they brighten up and distract us from what's going on.
ReplyDeleteLove your nature's journey centre, that chocolate brown is beautiful.
Great to not waste your clamshells, they are so pretty.
It was so nice to have your company last night.
ReplyDeleteYou worked on some lovely projects even after your wonderful day out. Thanks for joining in FNwF...xox
That looks like my kind of day .....lovely scenery, blue skies and lunch out. Those clam shells are far too pretty to waste.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day out.... Love fish and chips.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day! We love going to the coast but it's two hours from here so it does not happen very often but I too am always fascinated by the masts in marinas. I do love that squares border - such a great idea. Pretty clamshells and that gap on the wall is just asking to be filled! Have a lovely weekend. xx

ReplyDeleteFish and chips by the water is always good! Your projects are coming along beautifully....and I love the red bottle brush. Ours is showing its new growth, so hopefully should flower before too long.

ReplyDeleteNatures Journey is growing beautifully and the clamshells made in a wallhanging will look nice above Ted.
How nice to take your own nature's journey before coming home to work on the piece. Those clam shells are so pretty I agree we shouldn't waste them!

Looks like it was a wonderful day out. Love your Natures Journey centre. The clamshells would make a pretty wallhanging. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteOh lovely...love seeing your progress. I see the space for that wall hanging it will fit in so well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely day for both stitching and exploring. What a lovely day to be out and about!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day to be out for fish and chips, the marina looks wonderful and the flowers are so pretty. Natures Journey looks wonderful too as do the clamshells.
ReplyDeleteNow that is the perfect way to spend a Friday xx
ReplyDeleteDespite the pandemic is so good that we can enjoy and appreciate a beautiful spring day. We need to acknowledge our blessings wherever and whenever we can. Love your block and those cute clammies. You just reminded me of the teeny ones I started a long time ago and are now a UFO. Enjoy the sunshine. X
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful shots of the bay Michelle. I think it is high time we headed there, after our many trips towards the West. Do you recommend a particular place for Fish and Chips? What fun to find a few old sewing projects to recycle. I found a box of pretty fabrics and some old doilies a few days ago; must have been having thoughts of a quilt
ReplyDeletethere. Red bottle brush always make me cheerful! xxx
Loving your clamshells!!!! I love making them too. Nature's Journey looks like quite the endeavor! Looking forward to seeing your progress on that one! See you next month!
