DECEMBER FNWF

 

Here we are at our last Friday Night With Friends blogging stitch in for the year. Thanks to the very lovely  CHERYLL from GONE STITCHIN for gathering us together from all over to share our stitching and crafting efforts throughout this crazy year xx

The first thing on my list was to make two little tea books for gifts for friends who need to bring their own brew when we get together.....I will put them with some shortbread and a little bit of Christmas cake.


My mind wanted something relaxing so out came the hexies...
3 flowers got finished.

So they have joined the other hexies I have been stitching!

At present I have a beehive and flowers....no plan yet how this will all come together but it's fun just making bits and bobs for now. 
I think a few more may get made today as it's hot and humid.....and a swim and air con are my plans. I really had to make myself walk this morning  but my treat of a meander through the quiet bush made the effort worth while.
You may remember that a Grevillea in our garden was struck by lightning in a wild storm we had a while ago. The Mister tidied up the stump that the SES had made safe for us and we decided to leave a good portion hoping against hope that it may reshoot but really not feeling that confident......well lookee here!

I am really excited to see all may not be lost after all.
Well that's all from me. I  wish you a lovely weekend and hope some Christmas spirit is making its way into your place.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    What a pretty and practical gift idea for tea drinkers. Nature is amazing at how it bounces back.

    When you consider how plants regrow after fire, it's no wonder your Grevillea has sprouted again! Those are tiny little hexie flowers, aren't they? Just right for a beehive.

    Your beehive looks amazing! I love your fussy cut hexie flowers. Looking forward to seeing how you decide to put it all together. The tea bag holders are great. I used to make some years ago and forgot all about them,I used them a lot when I actually had some sewing groups to go to. Beautiful projects as always.

    Wow your beehive looks great, as do those fussy cut flowers - it will be interesting to see where this project takes you! How exciting that the Grevillea has new shoots! Your heartstrings quilt is going to be beautiful.

    Lots of pretty sewing Michelle. I have just got my Christmas ABC quilt out and put it on the back of the couch, hand stitched with your lovely designs, of course. I'm very fond of it, and enjoyed stitching each block.
