Not a lot been happening here. Just a couple of bits and pieces finished and some lovely flowers blooming. Real flowers for a change not just hexie flowers.
This orchid was a christmas present from mum last year. usually I don't have much success with them re-flowering but DH has been taking good care of it and I have another beautiful flower from it this year.
The pots of native orchids are putting on a magnificent display. They almost grow like weeds at my place and their delicate flowers are some of my favourites.
as for crafting..... some little finishes.
Yesterday I finished my fourth block of my Once upon a time project
May I present 'The Princess and the Pea'
Another finish is this little pincushion from the SKOW book.
Didn't quite get it 100% so it won't make it to the 'gift box'. Might need to make another one. I found it a bit hard getting the 'roundness' right.
Any hints anyone? I left the stuffing opening in the pieced base but my putting together skills definitely are lacking.
Practice makes perfect though!
Hope there is some crafting time in your weekend
cheers
