Spreading The Love About.....

 Amongst a number of my projects at the moment. 

I got back to some boring old nine patches for Natures Journey. I am almost halfway there.

While I was at it I joined some of my little hearts together.....these are seriously becoming an addiction and I lay the blame squarely with friend Marina lol!
I tried my hand at some fussy cutting for these little hexie flowers.

And I finally got to the job of cutting the remaining Dresden blades for my Flowerville blocks. 
Drawing has been taking up a bit of my time too. I have begun a special piece for my brother who is having a big birthday later in the year. He loves the Yellowtail Black Cockatoos that inhabit his coastal home....so thats  on my drawing board.
You may be able to see him starting to emerge from the page.
Some of the lovely pops of colour in my garden of neglect of late. I am thrilled with my Moth orchid and they are so pretty, tiny  and delicate. 

The noise from the Rainbow Lorikeets enjoying our red bottlebrush is deafening each morning and at dusk....wouldn't change a thing!

The Clivia is now bursting with orange flowerheads.....this one was the first to open. Fingers crossed my yellow one will oblige again this year.
Ever since I discovered tiny little flowers on my Crotons I love seeing their delicate little blossoms......
Ok I am saying by for now.....I don't know about you but I am finding the new blogger frustrating......jerky and I don't seem to be able to use it as easily as the previous version as far as photos and linking to other blogs....so I am going before something else doesn't work! 

Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx

    Ha, new Blogger just dropped out on my first attempt to comment. It knew I was thinking bad thoughts about it - thanks for nothing, Blogger people :) Beautiful patchwork bits and pieces, and your flowers as lovely as ever. The lorikeets and cockatoos made a right mess of our bottle brush last week - it is in decline now, lol. Can't wait to see your cockatoo picture, it will be a beauty! xox

    Change can be very frustrating, especially when neither asked for nor wanted! I love your black cocky, they really are beautiful birds. Lots of pretty fabrics in your post today!

    PS. Meant to add, the cockatoo is coming along nicely, will be great to see it finished. Does your brother know you are drawing this for him, or will it be a big surprise?

    Such pretty & varied projects you get to work on Michelle. I love your garden pics ... when we first went into lockdown my friend dug up all her clivias. She gave me two large rubbish bags full & I have planted them down the end of my section under some trees. Some have flowers but many are sulking this year but I am hoping next year they will be a picture.

    Nice work with your sewing machine and your fussy cut flowers look just great. Lovely flowers in your garden. Heavy - and much needed - rain here as I write, no sign of autumn colour yet though. xx

    I think the "new blogger" will take some getting used to.
    gorgeous flowers - its a great time of the year - all too brief sadly.
    Quite a variety of projects - never a dull moment!

    Lovely to see all the projects on the go. It is great to have choices. How special to be able to make an art piece as a gift. That will be lovely.
    Great to see the garden doing so well. It really helps to make the day enjoyable.
