WOW or WIPs with Esther to day 13th April 2013

Start of my morning, it was so beautiful to watch the dawn awake. That is the Barron River in the middle of the photo.  It flows below our home. 

This is were all those beginners and enders starter: sewing my Little Hazel I was stopping and starting seams endlessly,

So here I am this morning after sewing my Hazel with 4 completed 64 1  1/2 inch patch square blocks and endless other two blocks turning in to 4 blocks and so on. I will end up with 8 or more 64 1 1/2 inch patch blocks All up I think I must have sewn nearly 300 seams to make my Hazel centre?????? It will be interesting to see how big my postage stamps quilt grows to by the time I finish making Little Hazel

Appliquéing those lovely oval shapes of LE 3rd border I think?????

My first of 4 Quilty365Circle quilts Im doing sashiko hand quilting on. I have started quilting at both ends first because I ahve not done sashiko quilting before and need to learn the rhythm and hopefully by the time I get tot he centre I will have one and my stitches will be uniform?????

Back of the quilt and Im liking it as much as the front with the big white stitches on the red in circles!!!!! All the squares that are used to make this quilt  are 4 1/2 inches so those are all small circles.

Have just completed restoring this little doll. SO she can now be loved again.

Such a delicate fragile flower. My hubby gave me a potted flower several months ago and after flowering I put it out side and it is flowering again for me!

A tiny Lisianthus blooms again or me.

Yes nature is amazing?

I never liked brown till I started to really look at it in nature and how beautiful it is when used with creams.

I was trying to take a photo of the fish this morning in this small watcher catcher and saw the reflection of the giant palm head above it!

Even my little dog wanted to be photographered this morning she usually runs away for some reason when she sees the camera?

Nature shows us what colours work well.

A delicate Brom beside a very strong coloured one.

a lovely splash of colour in this part of the grounds.

We have some weird and wonderful plants growing in the grounds.

A little patch of tiny toadstools some are only as big as a glass pin head! They are on the top of a brick which is covered in  moss.

This was taken at 9.30am this morning , there are Broms growing there but they are covered in a very aggressive ivy that kills so much here by  smothering it.  Ground ferns look lovely for the first year then die and leave dead stalks that become are nasty spikes.

1.30pm Same spot but an hour of pulling out the aggressive ivy and ground fern you can see all the Broms again.  In a years time it will all be back if not pulled monthly.

This little frog or big frog lives in Rods work shop and you have to be carful wear you put things down or when you grab hold of some thing as he will not move. You can pick him up and he will just sit in your hand till you put him back.  He is curled up in Rods large drill charger????
