The lily seed is buried in
the darkest, thickest mud,
grows through that pain and hardship and becomes the most
beautiful shining flower,
tall, wise and strong from the experience.

Hello to you
all...finally! I’ve been having a few problems with blogger but have now worked
it out!!
Ha Ha! I
knew I’d give the last week of my holidays a good thrashing in the sewing
shed!! Very pleased to say that my many projects I had on the go were
successfully completed. It was pretty
hard to get myself going for my first day back at work but, as usual, once I
got there and saw that group of ratbags, I loved it. Everyone was full of
cheek, fun and stories. I did miss a couple of people that have moved on to
other schools though.
Grab
yourself a cup of tea and cruise around with me as I show you what I have been
up to.......
A few new
pieces to sell at the tourist centre. A chook appliquéd pot mat....
Birds in a
nest stitchery, that is also a carry
pouch......
Rather cute!! Fun to make.
I was
working on an Australian bushranger banner and have completed that but the
photo turned out all blurred so I can’t show you the whole banner right now, but
I can show you parts of it.....
The sheep in
the paddock.....
The rolling hills.....
Ned Kelly’s homestead.....
Also for the
library, I made a Fish banner that is about 90 cm x 60cm approximately.
All scraps
of fish fabric that had no other use and could not possibly be thrown out!!
Lol.
My new
project that I have started on. You will have to wait for this before I tell
you what it is.
Wonder what this will be?
I’ve been
waiting for this bush to flower and I got a pleasant surprise this week. Finally,
a flower, so delicate . I can’t tell you what the bush is but I’ve waited a
long time for the flower. Lol.
The first time flowering!!
Can’t wait
to see all the kids at school on Monday,. For Western Australia it will be the
first week back at school. It’s always exciting to see the little pre primary
kids...they’re so small!!! Something else that always amazes me is to see how
much the kids have shot up over the school holidays.
Thanks for
dropping by and hope you all have an amazing week. May it be a week of much
happiness and much stitching. Stay happy.
Cheers, Anita.

Love your chooky cushion...just read your story about the snakes...I would have done the same thing..it would have given me a terrible fright to find them in the chookpen..I think they are in a better place now...and not ones back yard....

What a busy time you have had.
great to see more items for the tourist centre. How is that going?
Love all the banners you make for the library.
Have a lovely time at school.
You had your hands full and all these are amazing!!
I love all your finishes. Especially the chicken. I love chickens nearly as much as cats, for applique. Glad getting back to work has not been to traumatic. The bushranger banner looks pretty good. Your library will look marvelous.
Hi Anita - just catching up on your posts - gosh that last post was a bit scary with those snakes. You sure have been busy in your sewing shed - I love all your new makes. Hope you are settling back into work okay. Have a great week .. Julie :-)
