Esther Aliu’s scrappy hexagons lots of fun March 15th 2017

This is what I woke to at 5am this morning the first touches of the sunreflection hitting the river below us.

First rays of the sun hitting a palm leaf in front of our home and the river below us.

This is were I was up to a week ago nothing but the vase and the first part of the sewing of the bias stems done. Since then I have hand appliquéd down the rolled over bias stems and appliquéd most of the blue bells and one large leaf.  As the blue bells are made of crepe silk Im having to make hundreds of little tiny stitches so the silk will not fray any where!!!!! A weeks work here in those blue bells LOL

This is were Im up to this morning,  15th March, 1/2 my leaves are appliquéd on by machine and I hope to finish those today, after I have finished those I can finish appliquéing the rest of the fine stems,  Blue bells, last two big leaves, big flowers and birds????? About a week or two LOL

I started appliquéing the blue bells and tiny stems with embroidery thread in the right hand corner and have worked my way to wards the first stems, had to add my 1st large leaf as a blue bell hung over top of it.  Using 6 strands of floss and doing double back stitch for my stems. Going to  add paler blue bells in the centre of the picture to give more light there, I ironed on those fused leaves this (Tuesday 14th Mar) morning  may be I will get them machine  appliqué to day these leaves need to be appliquéd  before adding those pale blue bells so my machine foot can manoeuvre easily.  My bird is just a thought at this stage LOL

Late This Avo Ive been making  tiny wee Robyn’s

Taken in the daylight this morning 16th March truer colours here.

Scrappy hexagone on points.

Scrappy Hexagon.

Just keep on making  triangles in to hexagons and then join hexagons up in to a quilt the size you want!!!!!

On Saturday I was given these 2 sewing machines and and a over locker. I spent 4 hrs on the old machine in the fore ground and she is now sewing beautifully.  Its around 1950 model assembled  in Australia from Japanese parts. Hubby managed to get the electronic one to sew but it keeps sewing backwards though LOL

our front paves are very bad, in the distance in the middle of photo you can see where I have started exit-moulding them.

Oneof the joys of living in the wet rainforest LOL there is all ways lots of work to be able to live here.

In the foreground  is concrete covered in black mould path below I have just cleaned I was to tired to do this bit at the top.

Where ever I look there is cleaning up needed

even my wee sleeping cat the mould started to grow; I’ve cleaned her since this was taken this morning so she is snow white again!!!!

You can see where I have got to with the cleaning of this path!!!!!

A lovely splash of colour.

This is one of my favourite flowers in the garden It flowers twice a year and brings me so much joy.  What a colour combination, pink purple and green!!!!!

Stunning colour combinations here.

A purple orchid unfolding from its sheath.  plus lovely splashes of bright yellow brom’s with red centres and last years brom flowers still not cut off!!!!!

He lives in Hubbies work shop and will not move, if Hubby wants to use the tools he’ s sitting on he has to gently move him.

An orchid bloom unfolding I love to see them unfold like a butterfly from a chrysalis.

Both flowers are fully open now so so beautiful and the perfume is magical.
