Beading Sunflower busy!!!

I have had this, finished sunflower embroidery, completed a long time ago. But have always wanted to add something more instead of the usual frame. Well got the inspiration going and also all the beading. After starting on a different path, this sunflower told me that I need to do something else and now the sunflower is very happy with what I have done so far. This took me all day today, every bead is sewn on one by one, and I think it looks great. Will show when totally completed.

  

Finishing up!!!!

This is the different stage of the renovations of our home here in Port Alfred.
First is what the place looked like the day we moved in- nothing interesting!

 This was after we had the place painted.

 Now we have a nice verandah in front instead of that big awful pimple as my hubby called it. It was also decided because of the wind which mostly blows from the back of the house we can now have a place to sit and enjoy our morning without wind and also the roof is light and no harsh sun rays come thru!
We decided to use a pergola with the house because the windows have small panes and it goes with the pergola. Now just need to add the creepers and some pots on top of the cut off pillars and then decide what color are we going to the verandah floor because that awful red paint has to go.

Life is fun!!!

Had a lovely dinner at Tasha's Craft Bar here in Port Alfred and the Kowie River flowing around the Restuarant

Here is when the sun sets!

Just had to have this new book by Di van Niekerk and Hazel Blomkamp!!!

Its a great book and worth the money!!!!

  

  This is what my first mandala embroidery looks like.
