Waxeye

This little waxeye knocked himself out on the window at my place. He was sitting stunned on the deck so I picked him up. He sat in my hand for a couple of minutes so I took this photo of him. Not very good as my phone camera is still no working properly.

GD Giesha Girl Quilt

Well I am entering this quilt in Amy's Quilt festival. It is my orginal design and I freemotion quilted on my home sewing machine. Inspiration came from the giesha girl fabric and other Japanese fabric that I had in my stash. I hope you like it my GD likes it. It is hers and I have been making it for a few years, got a bit stuck with the design as well as moving house in between time. Thanks Amy for giving me the opportunity to show this quilt and for us to see so many other quilts by like minded people.

Mr & Mrs Bunny

Well aren't these just so cute. They come from Jim's Aunties stash. She passed away 6 years again. She used to work at Cornish's in Wanganui. I can't remember how many years it is since that shop closed down. The label was on the fabric. Well that is another piece of fabric used and I have now given them to my new grand daughter who was born on the 21st of March 2015. She is doing well. Her 2 older brother just love throwing these bunnies around.

Roof On


We have the roof on as you can see. The timber should dry out nicely over the summer months.
The left hand gap that you can see will be a ranchslider out onto a deck when it is all finished. Next is the kitchen window.  We have had more metal put down on the drive way and it hasn't rained here for a couple of weeks so not so much mud around. This should have been posted back in September.
