Well, my friend Bobbie... who is the local gadget queen gave me this treasure.....
A door peeper.....
(I think she thought I might need it to check out for paparrazzi coming to my door...
...... or so I can quickly put a bit of lippie on and give my hair a brush when George arrives)
I use it to check out the colours when I'm placing a new block.....
or to see the overall effect of a new quilt.....
This is one of my Butterfly Garden blocks....
I love the way it downsizes the projects and gives a useful perspective
makes quite fun photographs too!
Melody hosts Tuesday Treasure.... I'm just going to pop over HERE and see what else there is... Melody has some lovely china
Hope your day is lovely ..................

Hi Fiona - Love this idea. I have heard of using a door peeper before to check quilt colours and layout, but haven't tried it myself. I might have to visit Bunnings!
Well, who knew you could do that with a door peeper! It is pretty cool, though, that you can use that to check for colors and layouts on your quilts. I love learning new uses for things! :o)
XOXO,
Cyndi
Now that is clever. I had no idea of this unique use for a door peeper. Nifty stuff!
Tuesday there already? It isn't even Monday supper time here yet :)
I like your treasure! It is a very useful item. Thanks for letting us peek thru it.
Hello Fiona,
You are the treasure for taking those fun photo's. Enjoy your peeping.
Bev.xoxo
Handy gadgets they are. A friend of a friend's hubby turns wood & put's the peepers in the wood. Mine has a nice handle as well to hold it. Hugs,
Fiona the super 'peeper'.. what a clever gadget...
Thankyou again for my wonderful postcard... love it so much..
I treasure mine too. Aren't they GrEaT! Thanks for sharing! :)
Wow, are you ever good at taking photos.....those were amazing! And the peepers are a great idea.....I'll have to check out my hardware store for one! Thanks!
Great gadget Fiona, I have always been going to get one.
How clever is that!!!
How snazzy!
It must have been so hard taking the pics through the peeper.
Reminded me of a telescope-There she blows me hearties!
What a great little gadget, how clever. I do love the effect on the photos too.
What a great idea. And I am really impressed that you were able to take photos to show how it worked!!!
what a wonderful gadget Fiona,lucky you peeping at George,lol
They are really handy- there are lots of useful things in a hardware store..
Might need to try one of these! Thanks for sharing your treasure!
The door peeper's are an amazing idea aren't they? One of the ladies at Saturday Quilting group has one and we all borrow it to have a look at our quilts and colourings.
Hi fiona,
I would never think of such a contraption, not even in my wildest dreams. Great treasure.
What a fun gadget - and yes, it's great for blog pics too!
I love mine...got a lovely one from the Jarrah Lackey man at a quilt show so it is encased in lovely jarrah...an invaluable gadget...never thought of taking photos with it though, that is a fun idea...
