Thanks again to Wendy for hosting FNSI .... all 49 of us.... good party....
The Friday evening group was meeting again so I went along to that.... a smaller group, some familiar faces and some new ones... it's a lovely time to gently chat and hear about each others lives and what is going on....
... and eat cake.... on pretty plates...with pretty forks...
I was doing some hand sewing on a secret project .....
... this is another side of the mouse pincushion... little hexagons....
Christine and I were making them together... sort of... pop over HERE and see hers which she made 2/3rds smaller... it's ultra cute and ultra pretty...
My pincushion sides are together now but it needs stuffing to be recognisable....
... and my blankie is finished.....
... it's soft, and light, and pretty .....
This is a native tree flowering in my garden at the moment... it is only about 2 metres tall and covered in blossom...
... close up of the bunches of flowers...
Righto, Gotto Go..... the weekend has caught up with me.... and that mouse pincushion needs stuffing...
Lots of lovely things you are working on Fiona. Looks like a great night for you. Hugs.....
