These are the beautiful gifts I received from talented crafter Sarah, in our recent 'Anni Downs Swap'. A cushion & framed fabric pic......I luv them both Sarah & am still admiring those tiny little stitches....Thank you!!


These items I made for Lynda....a little keyring decoration & cushion. What a great swap to participate in.....so many things to choose from with Anni's patterns!

Colourful Friday - Hexagons

Hunting for hexagons..how did you go?
This is what I found.


some crocheted ones...


& fabric too....


a few little buttons....


candle holders....


time for a snack...


a socket set....


 on the boat motor....


bolted on....


and this door handle, which I'm sure is as old as the house!
I'm sure I'll be finding more over the next couple of days....that's what usually happens.
For more hexagons pop over to Robyn @ Daisy Quilts.
Cheers....Jane.

Bottlebrush

I was out in the garden yesterday, when I noticed this Bottlebrush was flowering for the first time....it's a lovely salmon pink colour.
Cheers....Jane.

Testing

This is really a test to see if this post actually shows up....the one I did yesterday didn't show up at all....if they don't show up, there's not much point having a Blog. Anyway the crocheted rug pictured I started as a long term project last winter & resurrected it yesterday.....hope to finish this one soon!
Cheers....Jane.

Strawberry Crumble


Using the Raspberry Crumble recipe from the most recent issue of Vignette, I made this Strawberry Crumble. This recipe allows you to use any berries that you have on hand. The pic was taken quite hastily, as the family were hovering...LOL!! Served with cream it is a yummy sweet that I'll be making again.
Cheers....Jane.
