I didn't get any finishes this month..... but I did get heaps of blocks done or partly done and I worked full time for 2 1/2 weeks.....
So I have nothing to show for WOOFA or OPAM this month....
However..... a few plants are being lovely
This Hydrangea is full of these lovely bright pink blossoms...
this is another hydrangea.... so delicate... I just love it....
The new Hoya buds started bursting .... (Sue sent me this plant through the post from Victoria earlier this year) Thanks so much Sue.. its a real beauty....
... and now it is this lovely ball of flower heads..... and there are two more sets of buds growing
And Mrs Magpie introduced her twins to us at the weekend....
I just love that splayed out feet stance
Not a new idea but I found these plastic trays and bought a bunch. I make up salads and cold meats for Hubz and my lunches on a Sunday..... so that it's nice and easy for us to have a healthy lunch during the week
I think it looks like patchwork blocks.....
Some hand sewing has been done and these are the final stitcheries for Wish You Well.....
My plan is this week to make up the last 4 months of blocks ... then I will need to do a bit of shopping for a border....
December means Summer here down under.... and we have been blessed (????) with a heatwave.... It is 6.30 in the evening and the temperature is 34' C..... and we are not as hot as some places.
I have just given the magpies some watermelon which they enjoy as a cool snack....
Righto, Gotto Go... time for a cold Gin I think....
Gorgeous blooms in your garden and you’ve stitched some pretty blocks..
ReplyDeleteNice to meet Mrs Magpies babies....
Great to be organised with the lunches , gives you more sewing time...
I did see you are having very hot weather over your side of Aussie.
Been cool here but I’m sure it’ll be hot soon.
It was over 40 deg here yesterday and the same is forecast for today, which is not nice. Love your pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteYour lunch boxes are inspiring and look yummy and fresh. I have to admit that with only a week and half until school holidays start, I'm going to enjoy not having to prepare lunch boxes for a while :)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are really beautiful. I wonder if anyone has ever created an embroidery design around that hoya bloom.
Your flowering garden would be gorgeous Fiona...
ReplyDeleteAnd YES it's been hot on a few occasions... but I LoVe summer... xox

I can see why you did not get any finishes in the sewinbg room.....far too busy working and in the kitchen. Love the look of those lunches. Your pink and white hydrangea reminds me of marshmallows.....just gorgeous as are the others.
ReplyDeleteI love your Hoya and hydrangea blooms. Our hydrangea is just starting to bloom too. Iv so enjoyed watching you Wish You Well blocks co e together.
ReplyDeleteAw, Maggie's a mum! How sweet that she's bringing her babies to you. She knows you're a tender heart :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and those little magpies are so cute. xx
ReplyDeleteA cool Gin sounds like the perfect thing to have on such a hot day.
