Wet!!

Woke up to a very wet morning...the garden is soaked after it rained all night!


A perfect day for my birthday present, but more of that later in the week! I'll just have to hope for more rain, to christen them.

Crafty Day

As usual it never rains, but it pours!

Spent this morning working on my Friday Night Fix book:


I do not know why the images are the way they are, but I'm unable to fix it...quirks of technology, I guess...one upside down and the other portrait, instead of landscape.  There is a silver sugar spoon in there and a photo of it as well, with inks and pastels.
Then is was onto dyeing some silk organza and threads, for the trial run of a project that has been in my head for about 18 months:


Still in the bags at this stage, will wash out later.
And then onto photos for Creative Quilting...not good as usual! The feather was impossible, so I have substituted a blue ginger jar. Now all I have to do is the real work of swatches and paint!
