Making tiny peepholes with colonial knots instead of reverse appliqué.
Still making my colonial knots and hope to finish some more of them today. Have added another flower to my arrangement it is slow but so enjoyable. My tiny wee circles in this last flower I have satin stitched.
Very slow and time consuming but so so relaxing.
A beautiful Crucifix Spiders web, the cross bars are around 3inches long.
Back of cross with the spider in the middle.
Start of the rainforest beside the house our local Bush Turkey has decided to make a nest for a hopeful mate to lay her eggs in. He is on the left of the photo. He has so far cleaned up all the leaves from the end of the path this whole area was covered in a thick layer of leaves at 6am this morning.
Here he is scratching back all the fallen leaves he will clear all the leaves for about 20 metres from his nest they are usually 5 to 6 metres across and 3 metres high!!!!!
This fellow is pretty old as you can see by the size of his yellow
Surprise surprise !!!! This is where he is putting them all??????? I took this photo on Monday morning he spent 3 hrs raking up all the top leaves Monday morning from 6am till 9am.
An Extremely fine spider web. You need to Zoom in to see how fine, I only saw it because the light was just right to catch the strands.
Off to Link with Esther now and then the beach; have fun what ever you are doing today. UPdate
When I left at 8am for the beach it was 17.8C at the beach a lovely 25C as I had my breakfast and sat reading. At 11am when I left the shops near the beach after doing my grocery shopping it was 33C Arrived back home at 11.30am to 27.8C I’m so glad we live 1000feet above sea level through the summer months as Cairns the city is so so hot and humid. Below are some photo’s I tick this morning on my way tot he beach!!!!
At my front gate this morning.
At the lookout around 8.15am looking out to sea, early morning sun is reflecting off the ocean. It is about 800 feet above sea level here.
Going down the range
This time of the year there is colour every where.
I was lucky to see two wee bush hens they are so cute all ways in two's and they are very very shy.
Taken out my window as I drove over the bridge.
Our silver palms are beautiful at the moment.
Where I parked my car.
The sea was so peaceful this morning.
Parked near me, I just had to take a photo of it!!!!!
Look closely and you will see around 40 kangaroo's having there late morning siesta LOL
I spent 5 hrs yesterday cleaning the garden around the waterfall of the swimming pool, now off to cart all the vegetation away in my swimmers so i can jump in to the pool when I get to hot!!!!!
Cheers Glenda
your LE is coming along nicely…I love that you are making it your own with the embroidery stitches….the knots look wonderful and is a great idea for this quilt. I also love all those color your coverlet will have when finished.
your love entwined is coming along beautifully! I need to get back to work on it soon but I really want to make a couple more finishes this year so I think I will take a continued break on it for a little bit.
Love your centers with the colonial knots, what a great idea!!
What a handy helper to have clean up your yard, I could do with a visit from him but you can keep your spider. I had enough of spiders after living with the rather large but harmless coconut spider in Raro as I have never been a fan of spiders at all.
Hugs, Jenny
Your LE is looking great, the colours are gorgeous. Loved looking at all your photos especially the turkey nest 🙂
How lovely to see a bit of ‘your patch’ – what a beautiful place to be in (although a little too hot for me!). I really love what you are doing with your LE – fabulous work!
I love all your photos and that turkey is very interesting since it is thanksgiving weekend this weekend and it’s Turkey time LOL. Love how you live with all those creatures. I was busy yesterday getting rid of spiders too. They seem to appear in the house when it starts to cool down outside. Hugs Bunny
