Feast or Famine

 Hello friends.  Does it happen to you....there is either nothing on your dance card or it's full!  Not complaining...makes life interesting. Although a wee bit chilly here in my part of the world, the days have been glorious! So very nice to be out in the fresh air and sunshine. I've had a lovely day out with family to the other side of our beautiful Moreton Bay. A foreshore stroll was taken, some retail therapy and a delicious brunch as well.

I took myself off recently to one of my favourite spots for lunch and a bit of navel gazing and had a delightful Kookaburra keep me company.

June's Sunday Stitchers came around on the calendar. I was on morning tea duty with friend Helen. We usually like a theme.....we decided on WINTER. June being the first month of Winter down under.....it turned out well and tasted very nice too!

De had this gorgeous quilt for show and tell....oh and she also made her lovely top!

On Wednesday night my Daughter surprised me with concert tickets to see Michael Buble`. And it was fantastic....we had a great time!

The 3 seats in front of us remained empty so we had a fantastic view! And to top the night off Queensland won the State of Origin Series.....yes!!

When not gadding about I have been completing my #roxysjournalofstitchery scroll...Down the Garden Path. 

As you can see I made a little tag to finish it off.

Here's the finished piece unrolled.....

The spool was a gift from my fellow Sunday Stitcher Anita x

I am now able to focus on my BOMs....hopefully! Lol!

Artwise I have been quite busy....with 2 fairly big....for me....pieces thst I am currently working on.....a sneaky of the latest. 

So I will show you more later down the track.

My recent efforts have been directed to a project called #toondahharbourpostcard project. TOONDAH HARBOUR in our beautiful Moreton Bay is currently under threat from a proposed gigantic development....consisting of thousands of units and hundreds of boat moorings which will destroy incredibly vital habitat for critically endangered Eastern Curlew and many other migatory shorebirds species who summer here. Juvenile curlews remain here whilst the adults journey to the Artic circle to breed. The area is part of the RAMSAR CONVENTION TREATY which lists wetlands of international critical importance! But still it seems Gigantic development companies can skirt around this treaty. 

The project I have participated in is creative postcards sent to State and Federal environment ministers to try and halt this criminal destruction! If they get away with this NOTHING is off limits!

My two contributions, featuring the beautiful and amazing Eastern Curlews. 

If you feel like you want to be involved....you can draw, sew, paint a postcard. @kategorringe-smith on Instagram has details.

Hopping off my soap box now but making no apologies.

Ok I am now sitting in the dark....this novel took longer than anticipated to write lol!

Wishing you all a lovely weekend. 

Be kind to one another,

Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
