Sorry but the jacaranda's are flowering

Aren't they lovely?!
I really will post some makings in the next few days.....

my sweetheart and his flower

It has been a very busy few weeks and I have lots of nice pictures of work, fabrics and odds n ends but this is all I can manage for now as my photo downloader is playing up. He loves the pretty flowers when we walk....

I do love a parcel....

I never ever tire of opening up parcels of goodies.
Here is a box of bits'n'bobs that came all the way from Belgium. Now I just need to find some time to make something with them....

pinning and stitching

This has been hanging around for quite a while, today I've been sorting through my half done dresses, I still like it so now I am finally going to complete it.

sunny bathroom windowsill.....

A mix of wisteria, geranium and local native pigface all plucked from the side of the footpath as I walk.
I'll plant the geranium and pigface out in my window boxes as they grow new roots, that pigface....what a colour!

Pictures from the neighbourhood

Colin took these while we out walking last weekend, we've always loved this house, it's really wonderful.

I love my boards!

I got these fine little day boards for myself for Christmas last year. I have them hanging up in the hallway and when I walk by they are caught in the breeze and clink lightly on the wall, I love them!

a labour of love

Playing around with some silk scraps...

walking today I saw this...........

Poppies

Spring is springing here and poppies help to remind me it won't be long before we are barefoot all day.

This sunny afternoon....

My friends girls did this on their kitchen wall today, I thought it very sweet.

holidays...

a nice stick

A beautiful night...

a favourite...

This used to hang in a favourite local cafe, it's gone with the old owner but I always wondered where it was meant to be. It looks a lot like a place we go here in Australia but I suspect it's the Mediterranean.

He is really something....

We've been on holiday, many photos to edit, for now here is photo of my wee little lad, pictures of beautiful things in coming days.

My work, a detail...

A blue dress.......

Walking down memory lane again, I think I made this in 2005, wow, 5 years ago!
I do love mixed shades of blue.

Things I did and didn't buy in the south of france...

It's a while ago, that I was last in Cannes, but I was thinking about it this morning being summer there and winter here....
