March Slow Stitching

 Hello friends. The March instalment for Tag Roulette has rolled around again and I had a very nice relaxing time completing this months tasks. The tag numbers to be highlighted were....

No. 3 - Scrappy.

I went with some pieces of selvages that I loved and saved. I have left them unadorned for now, hoping to add something later.

No. 18 - EPP I fancied a hexie flower with a bit of embellishment and couldn't resist an extra hexie with a busy bee. 

No. 33 - Flag I really just replicated the flag on the original tag.

I added some extra stitching by adding a sunflower (for Ukraine) and a stitched circle. 

It really is difficult to stop lol! Bring on April!

I am now up to the last applique block for Where We Love Is Home and am planning a picnic under a blossom tree!

My Daughter had a birthday and there was a reason she was born on International Womens Day because all bias aside....she's a wonderful woman. She organised cupcakes for her class to help her celebrate her 21st birthday *wink *wink because the littlies wanted to know how many candles was she?

Hubby and I got lucky with one to taste test.

I love this photo of my girl and I....a while ago now but special still!

Hubby has been a bit below par again so I have spent my time reading and drawing.

Loved this book shared by a friend....have read all Fiona's books and enjoyed each and every one! Thanks Bev xx

I  was gifted in a secret Santa years ago a tiny sketchbook. It is not very good quality paper but I hate to see things go to waste and so I am using it to do quick little drawing studies. I do get a little frustrated with the limits of the paper but at least it's got a purpose now. Here's a selection from my efforts so far.

Earlier in the week I was able to get to my art group after a really long absence. They have moved venues and I am now literally 5 minutes from home if hubby needs me.....so good! I am really happy to be amongst my arty mates once again!

I began a new project to work on there.....a big industrial rusty gate and locks with a little Willy wagtail checking it out.....maybe a bit kitch.....but this scribbler could care less....I love it so far! 

I  really love nice snail mail, don't you? I received a very sweet card from friend Sue last week.....with some favourite bees featured!

It's a very special card as it has seeds embedded within it. So if I can bear to bury it, when the weather calms down I shall see what pops up! Thank you Sue xxx

Ok I do try but it looks as if I have once again written a novella lol! Thanks for reading this far.

Take care all. My thoughts go out to all my fellow Aussies who have been devastated by the recent floods in my home State and southern neighbours.....horrible messy clean-ups  with so many homes lost. The tragedy for the poor souls in Ukraine is beyond heartbreaking.

Be kind people.

Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
