Spring has come which means lots of flowering orchids in the garden.
Miniature cymbidium orchid
WOW or WIP’s starts to day over on Esther’s blog
First thing this morning I appliquéd down a circle so I can say I did do some sewing today?????
Sitting at my machine this morning just before 7am it was so beautiful I had the louvers wide open and it felt like I was sitting outside Spring is here.
Sewing Down red circles with double blanket stitch Ive done 7 today in between other things.
Appliqueing down circles on my Mini RR this morning.
As I typed the date just now I realised there are only 3 months left of 2018? I have to say this year has disappeared So quickly, I have done so many things and done a lot of sewing to help it go so quickly but I still can not believe 2019 is so close? I have 7 UFO’s I’m working on so they are all looking the same as last week most of them, I do a little on each one most days this helps my back and arthritis not working in the same position for to long?
During the last week Appliqueing Down leaves by machine .
During the week cut out irononfussing circles and placed them to see if I should use them ?
During the week all leaves appliquéd plus yellow circles, red circles iron down waiting to be appliquéd.
Starting my first circle at 7am before I did any thing to day I wanted to make sure at least one circle was appilqued down today LOL.
Love this double blanket stitch for Appliqueing small pieces. It’s one stitch at the time on these small circles but far far faster than hand appliqué and my hands don’t get sore any more? BUT I do miss not been able to hand appliqué for hrs?
UPDATE :- Wednesday night Australian time . I Have been working on the Centre this afternoon and tonight, finished appliqueing all the leaves and circles down, added the deep purple flange, then the grey border, then two sides of the deep pink flange and have pined the other two sides of the pink flange but to tired to sew them on its 10.30pm in Australia so stopping sewing now. I’ve just placed the light olive green fabric around the centre, with luck it will be added tomorrow.
Sadly thats all I have to share sewing wise this week but the garden is lovely so will share that instead.
Sun creeping in to part of the garden around 7am this morning.
Beautiful roots of a raintree
Last night I nearly stood on a snake in the gape between the car and white post, my closest in-counter with a snake and hope it’s the last! They are on the move this time of the year to mate after winter.
New path marinading through the garden
Went walking in the garden to take more photos, I was sitting here but my reception dropped out.
Stunning colour?
Looks like a wee pond but it is the centre of a bromeliad flower we have just had some rain!
Another completely different kind of Brom!
Hubby spoilt me last week with a bunch of red roses and Lillie’s, the Lillie’s perfume is penetrating the house and all through the garden, I have them on the front veranda as the perfume is to strong if I have the flowers inside.
Well if you are still reading you have a lot of patience LOL. Off to link with Esther’s WOW or WIP’s on Wednesday’s.
Thanks for stopping by. Cheers Glenda.
