Jenny's flowers

Saturday 1

That beautiful bunch of flowers, which includes waratah, freesias and sweet william, was a gift from my dear friend Jenny who has been visiting for a few days. Lucky us! Much lego, coffee drinking and craft discussion took place. And my sister T and her family have been staying, too. Beautiful kid-chaos and happiness. Quilts, pillows and toys everywhere. Popcorn under the couch.

The stack of fabrics in blue, pink and grey is sitting on my worktable, ready to be, well, worked. I'm hoping to cut into them tomorrow. But in the meantime, they are very gorgeous altogether like that, don't you think? They'll become embroidered project bags for Loop.

Our local city council has set up a live-streaming camera inside a kākā nest: if you have kids, they might enjoy checking in on the mother and her chicks.

Here is a song I find myself listening to often these days: Blur's My Terracotta Heart.

    You got a gorgeous bouquet of flowers! Those fabrics sure do looks great! I will take a look into the city camera even though I don’t have kids ! My kids are both grown up. Thank you for the music link!
