10th Oct 2012 WOW with Esther http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com

My goodness it is only 9.30am and I’ve taken so many photo’s all ready of things I’m doing.  My morning started out so quiet I could not work out why till on went on tomy front veranda at 7.45am and the rain-forest rangers were complete blocked out with mist. I could see down to the river and out the other side of the house
was clear but no hills or ranges. First time I have ever seen that except in the winter early in the morning. Well I guess there is a first for
everything.

My hills and ranges completely misted in??????? 7.45am

8am my ranges are back again and bright blue skies!!!!!!

I have moved my sewing spot for the summer

I live in the perfect place for sewing as I can sew out doors all year round.

I’m back looking out at the above view and just LOVE it every time I sit down out there I smile.

I have set my sewing area up all ready this morning hoping to make a felt Annabelle block to day this is for my DGS Xmas present.

I love working with felts and cottons now, specially when making small gifts, I have to choose between one of 3 designs for this Xmas present, oh dear I want to make all of them!!!!!  Also I have two pairs of my DH trouse’s to repair, I just need to sew a couple of seams so hope to get those done today!!!!! A small appliqué to sew on to the sweetest wee cardigan

Tiny old fashion appliqué ready to sew on to cover a couple of nasty stains??????

that has a stain on it and I found this delightful antique appliqué which will cover the marks perfectly!!!!!

I went out early this morning to put the sprinkler on to give the plants a drink; these wee day lilies are all waiting for the sun to pop open.

Day lilies waiting for the sun to help them open their petals

10am They have just had a good drink and now the sun has opened them?????

We are having mice problems yet again!!!!!!!  This is how I’m coping with some of my kitchen food????????

This is my BIG plastic wash tub or babies bath???????When I'm cooking I need a ladder if I want any pasta, herbs and spices!!!!!! But the mice can not eat them up there!!!!!!!

I’m not going to the beach today, I brought home a DVD over night one yesterday but had so may phone calls I have not seen the end so this morning I’m going to put it on and curl up with a piece of Red-work I’m working on for a replace meant block that went missing and I will watch it with coffee and another coffee!!!!

A Delightful redwork block I'm working on by an Australian designer Susan Hayes

I need to stop and watch that DVD but will add a couple of more photo’s and tell their stories later this after-noon??????

This unbelievable piece of silk sateen fabric arrived in the mail last night and this is the first time I have been able to see it in daylight????????

It is a cross between salmon and apricot sprinkled with a layer of frost??????

I comes from China around about 1960 or may be earlier.

Because it is silk sateen the colour keeps changing as the light moves on it from silver to deep salmon.

Then yesterday I was given these for my prem babies??????? I would of taken them to the hospital this morning but will take them Friday instead now but will wrap them today. Another today project!!!!!

Booties for prem-babies??????

Off to watch that DVD and have that very over due coffee. I missed my coffee this morning as I was out of bread so no toast so instead made some bread, that sounds like double dutch??????

Will finish this page this after-noon?????
