Wow days are running away!

Well time goes by so quickly l have been so busy lately.

Its winter school holidays and nearly over and it just flew by the grandson goes back on Tuesday. 

Grandma taxi back on duty!

I have been able to get some stitching done during his rugby practice!

Started this lovely design 2 weeks ago even though there is lots of black l just love it.

This l started as a sal. Its Leilani the Belly Dancer. Can't remember the designer.

We had a big quilt festival last week in Port Elizabeth and it was so fabulous and all those quilters and handwork was awesome to see. This Octopus is my favorite, very colorful 😍 

Put some fliwers into pots for some color in the garden!

Been doing some stitching on Little Women lots of confetti!

So not much stitching but still going forward few stitches at a time. I have always been a monogamous stitcher and now have to many projects to do. Especially my HAEDS designs.

I have also started being on the body Corporate of our complex and thats a lot of work keeping up. We have 57 units. Mostly peaceful but sometimes it just gets messy with so many different peoples living in a small area. But its so nice near everything and very secure. 

Anyway friends nothing else happening. Just cold not freezing.🤣

We are so thankful that The Lord takes such good care of us we have everything we need, our health  a place to stay a warm bed and food.🙏❤️

Just life as always

Nearly done with another peg bag!

When lighting rules my daughters dog Cody finds safest place to hide!

Cross stitching!

l have been working on this project for a few days. It has lots of confetti. Well it's done last night. Its Curl up with a good book@ Spangler. Nearly done for a months stitching. Will be swapping to another project 1st April.

Went to a lovely farm market yesterday which had mostly food.

Its was so nice and shady under the eucalyptus trees.

Cool and cloudy here today, Autumn is starting.

A Fully Finish!

I remembered that l still had the crochet bedspread that l crocheted more than 35 years ago and still in perfect condition. I should have used it when summer started but forgot. Now on my bed till it gets cold here. We are now having Autumn season. 

Finally got the beading done on my Angel. Love using an easel with magnets so l can change the project to different seasons.

Well now to get my winter wall hanging started its in planning stage. I have Summer Christmas and Autumn done! 

Life is a bit hectic until now but grandson has a short school holiday now so l will be doing a lot less driving and have more time at home at last!

Take care and blessings.

Finally a finish!

Finally l fully finished these 2 pieces stitched in 2023. Stocking @ Judy Whitman and the Joy one l have no idea who the designer is. 

Just life!

Had such fun with that app everyone was playing with. My best friend and myself!

Me stitching!

I have restarted my Kitty Heaven. I can't seem to enjoy the 18 ct aida and now its 16 ct aida. 

Mire than 40 yrs ago when l just got the internet at home l joined my 1st quilting group and when postage was cheap and we still had a working postal service we often did swaps and these were a hexi swap. At last l finished a nice basket to use.

Also made these blocks a few years ago and decided to join them but one of the seams didn't line up. But l am going to add some embroidery to cover it up. Also fully finish it.

Made this bag. It is just putting scraps on batting then stitching rows and add lining and finished. But a big But the fabric trays too much and l prefer applique much neater. So no to do another one.

That's all l have been doing and as always working at grandma's taxi. Such a privilege to be part of seeing the last grandson going through school.

Take care and happy stitching ❤️🌹
