FNSI part 2

 I had this little stitchery to finish so i started with that for FNSI.

Satin stitch all done

i moved onto starting another Lucy block

I noticed a stalk coming up from some potted bulbs & was happy to see a Jacobean lily bloom. i missed it last time as there was some gooseberry bushes covering it.

One of Mum's cactus has also burst into bloom

Thanks Wendy for hosting. Pop over here to see who joined in

Happy Stitching,

FNSI October

 For FNSI it was another Lucy block. Adding the white surrounds. This is where i was at Thursday night.

I remembered i needed to dig out some more white & cream fabrics to make up more & to have a bit more variety.

That done back to stitching

i had gotten this far when i kept nodding off so to bed for an early night i went. :)

Happy Stitching

Plodding along with Lucy

 I have the last 13 blocks prepped & have slowly been making them up.

another one in the works is almost done but all the previously made up white pieces were nearly all the same. I sewed on as many as i could & have spent the last few days making up more white pieces.

I'll be able to finish it tonight. :)

One hippie has flowered & i found another 2 spikes on bulbs in the same pot. You can see one just starting to open. Oh i just spotted a chook way over the back. :)

I was happy to see this orange one flowering this year

I thought Mum's mini rose was going to cark it. It was very straggly looking. I moved it to another spot which it must love as it has masses of new growth & a few flowers.

Happy Stitching,

FNwF October.

 EPP was the project for me for FNwF yesterday hosted by Cheryll. I had completed a Lucy block on Thursday & started to add the white surrounds.  That was completed last night.

Another Lucy started

One of the orchids i inherited has flowered. I have been watching it for weeks waiting for all those buds to burst into bloom. I was out putting the stuff in the bin when i noticed one had opened but by the time i went out later to take a photo quite a lot had burst open. Now the whole lot are open.

I had the GS over for a few days last weekend & he mentioned he hadn't been on a train ride. I'd been wanting to go to Bunnings so off we went to buy a few things. He was happy he had his train ride even if is was a very short one. Just one station along. :) 

I grabbed another punnet of petunias to plant as i had this pumpkin planter of Mums & thought it would look nice with the flowers in it.

I don't think the mystery of the citrus fruit will be solved this year as each time i've gone to check on them i've discovered stink bugs on the branches/leaves around the little fruits. Thanks to the blasted bugs that area is dying off. Oh well looks like its another wait for discovery.

Happy Stitching,
