What wonderful weather we have been having.

Those of you who live on the east coast of Australia would have to say we have been having glorious weather.  You know the little bird that hatched quite some weeks ago…well the mother is sitting back on her nest again.  Last year there were two eggs and 2 birds hatched about October.  This year 2 eggs but only one bird hatched.  Maybe that is why she is going back again???  I will have to ask my brother.  He is just so clever and knows so much about birds.

Now…what have I been doing since we last spoke.  Emmm I turned 49.  And I have made a couple more handtowels for my sister as well as worked on a Crazy Patchwork Fans Round Robin.  Oh and you know the Keziah’s CP block.  Well I have decided not to make a quilt out of them as I fairly heavily embellished Keziah’s and Eli’s block.  So I ended up making a binder cover so she can put her preschool things in next year.  I won’t post a pic of that as I have already posted the block before.  I found this lovely crochet bell edging and just had to do it.  I think it would look lovely on a xmas handtowel… but I couldn’t wait for that and my sister isn’t into Xmas so I made a white edging on a light green hand towel. 

  I decided not to put any other emblishment on this handtowel as I just like the bells.  I have done a couple of little flowers on the pink one.

  I will also post the picture of the block I worked on. I did find it quite difficult to start with as this block is bright and those who know me know I don’t do bright.  I wanted to try and tone it down. LOL.. but I decided to jump in boots and all.  I crocheted a little fan and then bought out the dyes.  I also purchased some nice little sparkly flowers and I thought they went well with it.  As this is a Fan RR I embroidered some fan flowers.  I know they don’t grow on vines but I liked the vine effect. LOL

It is the long weekend here and I am going up to see my dad and aunty.  The grandkids what to come up too so we will be leaving on Saturday afternoon. I best think about what I will take up there to do… I have a thousand things…just deciding which one to take. LOL… Shall catch up with you again. Cheerio for now. Lindy
