As always!!!!

I dont have anything to show for now but am working on Neils quilt and have completed 2 blocks of 14. Well have just had a busy time as its school holiday and Neil keeps me busy.
Just love him and this week our mulberry tree has got some nice red fruit and it had to be picked.
Well after having a few to eat and loved it, he started messing around trampling on the ones that were lying on the grass. Well he now has purple feet. It took my memories back many years when we were kids. My Mom was always annoyed when we had mulberries because our clothes would be full of marks. Hehehehe

Neils purple feet

Just having fun!!!

I have joined this facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/906834113017980/?ref=nf_target&fref=nf     I am going to share some fun flowers to brighten someones day.

Another finish!!!

Made these hand towels for my bathroom.

Another finish!!!!!

This is the guest toilet cover and all done by hand. Hated using the DMC metallic threads but had some lying around and needed to use it. Well here is the result and just love it.

Some dressing up!!!

My pillows started feeling a bit nude, so I decided to dress them up a bit. I have not put anything fancy on it because we use these pillows daily. 

Now back onto Neils quilt!!!

Something I wanted to do for so long happened yesterday!!!

I have always wanted to have a lunch on the beach and eat by hand, well it happened yesterday. We had a lovely fish and chips as we always did on a friday, just eating it at the beach. Then we each had a coke float. hehehe haven't had that for many years. This is the Kowie river mouth and the local Guido's. 

Went for a walk this morning and here is a photo of the east beach side and the blue is Guido's.

Neil Quilt started!!!

First full 2  blocks done and now need to get some more done!!!!!

World Embroidery Day!

Just had to do something small for embroidery day!

A new quilt for Neil!

I have now started on a double bed quilt for Neil. This is the first block using paper piecing technique and by hand. Its easier to get the points perfect. Name of block is New York Beauty. I will be using blue Shweshwe fabrics for the whole quilt.

I will be using a few different blocks mainly with stars! 

A finish at last!!!

I have now completed a project that has been around for far too long!

It took lots of beads and time but done and think it looks great!!

Busy as always, happily stitching away!!!

We have had a busy week and just love having the kids around and looking after Neil is great fun. He is growing up so quickly and luckily we have had the honour of being part of his life. We have not been able to live near either of our kids and grandkids and now we are, thankful to our daughter for wanting us nearer to her. 

I have been busy this past week and got a few things done. 

I crocheted these tops a year ago and just had to put them to use now that I have my red and white quilt on our bed.

I need a new apron to match my kitchen and scratch this fabric out of my stash. I really needed one as I seem to get flour all over the front of my clothes. 

I have these tiny frames just hanging around in my sewing room. I felt like having some nice embroidery pieces in them using my House of embroidery threads. . Just love the colors of their threads.

I also want to get another three of these done.
