WOW with Esther Aliu 15th May 2013

8.30am this morning Ohhhh so beautiful

Swimming nets back up and water so warm.

Where we went to collect the pipe's after breakfast and swim.

She was so sweet and slept through our breakfast of Bacon and eggs beside the sea then woke as we went down for a swim and joined us!!!!!!

Bacon and eggs taste so much better in the open beside the sea???????

Sewing wise I’m happy with my progress as I found enough time to complete quilting 6 blocks prep 4 ready to quilt and 12 ready to sew the corners have 4 pockets ready to sew and unpicked the sleeves from a woollen kimono to make 4 more pockets so a very good week for me at present.

I'm happy with the way they are growing at present.

My big bonus this week was picking up 30 plus  sewing kits each one a different embroidery package with needle and thread enclosed?????? I will do these while I wait for appointments or for my Grandies if they want a sewing project. ????

Oh what fun there is in the pile of candy????? even enough to make a quilt??????

Life never ceases to amaze me specially in the tropics.  this morning I saw this unusual leaf on the paves about 2 1/2 ” long

Fallen leaves on the pavement or are they ?????

Looking up close we now see one leaf has feelers and antennas???????

Gently picking him up with the other leaf we can start to see what he really looks like!!!!

I'm not sure if that nasty looking rear end is for show or use????? So I decided to gently relocate him!!!

Nature is Amazing

Last week Cynthia uploaded a photo of a quilt she was working on and it reminded me of one I had as a WIP!!!!! Well I have not found it yet but did find a photo taken before I put it away?????? I had no idea what the pattern was called I just started making these whirls and joining them with triangles, I had no pattern just drafted them to fit????? After seeing Cynthia’s I did some research and I think it’s called a ballerina?????  SO this is for you Cynthia!!!!

For Cynthia. I made all the whiling disks then put them together with red and yellow triangles?????

Off to join up with Esther now at http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com
