Numbers 5 & 6

Number Four

I have been busy with my rose star hexagons again...

Number 4:

And I have made a few joining units

just to see how they work/look...

A gratuitous baby-Kalico shot

under her beautiful Welshquilter quilt:

And another one of her getting a bit of shut-eye...

And here's one with her 'Connex jewelry'

that her brother made her :)

She is a good sport :)

Can't Stop!

I was only going to try one...

This is number 3!!

I blame a certain friendly blogger

for the neglect of my Carolina Lilies while I make these...

Perhaps I had better stop soon,

I really have enough to be finishing as it is,

without this new start.

Although it is very handy having something small to work on,

 as it fits in my bag..

(well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it LOL)

Love is...

"Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous;

love does not brag and is not arrogant,

does not act unbecomingly;

it does not seek its own, is not provoked,

does not take into account a wrong suffered,

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, "

- I Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is a happy baby.

Counting Sheep

More sheep

caught on the new camera...

It's still really frosty out.

Just 'Messing' Around...

A quilty friend suggested I join the

rose star block party

hosted by summerfete...

I have only made one block so far.

(Thanks Andrea for a very pleasant distraction

from my UFO's (and nappies LOL)!!)

Today, DS1, baby-kalico and I went for a walk

so that I could 'mess around' with my new camera...

We walked up our farm track...

and quite a way down the road...

it was really frosty out
and we had to go 'off-road' a few times to

let a tractor, a learner driver and a neighbour pass....

I admit, I just had the camera on 'auto'...

...but I'm still really pleased with it!

Late Delivery

Santa finally delivered my new camera...

...love it!

Thank you so much!

(no excuses now for bad photos?!)

Oops! I've done it again!

Last time I tackled my Carolina Lilies

I sewed some berries in the wrong place...

Well, I unpicked them...

... and promptly sewed the leaves in the wrong place LOL!

Anyway, I have decided to just make more leaves

and sew LOTS of leaves on

(and I may add a few extra berries too while I'm at it LOL)

Baby-Kalico continues to delight us

(lack of sleep is the new sewing...well, sort of!)

As does her brother...

And I still try to fit in a bit of

Gluten-Free baking when possible
(even though pies get left in ovens to cool

instead of being taken out on time,

but they are still edible!)

The tea-towel which is much loved

and very well used is a design

by Veldt.

And we have had some very strong winds lately!

Our poor trampoline was taken for

an unscheduled flight!
