Hooked these for charity

Neil giving grandpa scary face

Compare these to Neil's scary face. Saw these at a love coffee shop in Vredendal

Lucky and Coco 's paths through the garden and also how they trimed the palm trees for fun

These are wild flowers that come up this time every year, just love them.

Here is a whole patch of them

This is a ordinary daisy flowering.

And after all the rain we received here is the dam that was at 8% now overflowing.

I have also decided to wash my batting and wondered the best way to do it without the washing machine pulling it to shreds, I put a 2 metre piece in a pillow case and washed it. Came out perfect. Now to see if I still have an allergic reaction to the fluff!!!!

Busy with a baby quilt for a family member and cannot show it until completed.

Fusion Quilt and and !!!

Still working on this quilt and have to still do the blanket st around 25 blocks and Also finished the work around the 50 front facing blocks. So not far to go now.

Found this lovely applique photo on the internet, sigh I am not good at drawing such lovely things. So thanks to all the designers who allow us to use these wonderful patterns. Am going to use this for a lovely baby quilt that I am making for a family member. Will have to use soft colors which is a bit difficult for me as I love working with bright very bright colors.

This is how far I have got with my fairy house and will be working again on it soon. Just need to get some red paint for the door and roof. hehehehe I just love RED!!!!
