WOW or WIP’s with Esther Wed 27th Feb 2013

A jardiniere that came in to the Opp Shop in pieces and I played patchwork with it!!!! I will put it some where in the garden to give height to the garden then add a special plant.

Not sure where I will put it but where ever it goes in a few years it will be covered in foliage, our foliage grows over night!!!!!!! I will set it in concrete so it will not fall over easy and then find the right plant to add to it.

Another one that was dropped off at the shop, most of the workers will throw them in the rubbish bin but I enjoy the challenge of sticking them back together and using them in the garden somewhere. I worked putting this one back together this after-noon and it is now drying and by tomorrow it will be some where in the garden. It's just another form of patchwork??????

On the right hand side of photo at the back you can see a large jardiniere that I planted about 12 months ago it has nearly disappeared now but it was standing there on its own just with just the plant in it when I set it there in concrete 12 months ago?????? It has a aleovera plant in it they are slow growing so a perfect plant and does not need that much water. I also repaired this one so I could use it.

Road frontage after been cleared of over gown tropical growth that seem to grow over night, I'm sitting writing this a s a Hugh thunder storm rages around me, I'm waiting for the power to go off?????? we have just had around 2inches of rain in the last 20 mins a real tropical down pour so it will be lovely and washed now and will look wonderful and clean tomorrow morning. It is 8pm here now!!!!!

I cut a large palm tree down after I took this photo, depending how it looks tomorrow I may take another out and add more broms with lots of red colour in them to give a little Zing to this area??????

Hills and river covered in mist 5.45am yesterday, was beautiful to watching the sun rise behind it.

Taken this morning same spot same time but no heavy mist just wispy clouds around!!!!!!

3 of the four books I finished to day!!!!! The Eighty Dollar Champion by Elizabeth Letts; The Adventures of the Amazing Alphabet by Pam Holland; Thomas The Wonder-word Book !!!!!! and the other one was The Chosen by Chaim Potok. All so different but all great books.

This has to be one of the funniest quilting books I have ever read and looked at, to day I pulled fabric to try making the I letter for my new grand daughter Indiana the colours are all strong and bright me to a T ????????

Finally managed to add the last two pieces of the last border to this quilt , now I need to buy some thick wadding and sandwich it to quilt then it can be on it's way??????

My cutting board all wavy I will have to buy a new one as it is almost impossible to cut on any more, it is about two years old????????
