My LE Centre  STILL waiting for that 4th vase??????   It is months since I worked on my LE as it is all silk it can not be washed ever as it would shrink all out of portion as the silks are all different weaves and weights.  So it only comes out when I’m home alone!!!!!

Still I have not started my 4th vase???? why am I procrastinating over this vase???????

75% of the zig zags on the outer panels need to be appliquéd down still so hours and hours of sewing here still.

I would really like to finish sewing on the wee dutch fairies as I call them before putting it away again, they are pinned just waiting to be appliquéd on.  I have appliquéd about 50% of them so far.

Our little Sunbirds have come back this year again so I’m very very happy. They mate for life and usually come back to the old nest every year and repair it

They added these 3 cotton balls this year. These 3 cotton balls are hanging below their nest how they kept them in place while they wove the thread around them is incredible.

This year they are also building a little thatched awning over the entrance of their wee nest!!!!

I have been hand quilting a small bed quilt this week

Up close of the hand quilting difficult to photograph though.

Sopotae fruit turns a deep black and has a flavour similar to chocolate it is very very high in vitamin  C and there is a huge crop this year.  Used in pies, cakes, scones, deserts,  and eaten as a raw fruit on its own. I have it with yohget on my cereal

Last of my lilies but I have some orchids in there place now.

close up of those orchids.

While cleaning up part of the garden this morning I felt some thing wet on my knee looked down to see this tiny wee tree frog there. Rushed to get my phone and managed to get this photo before he hopped away. My goodness he was beautiful.
