'Hello!'

Popping in to say 'hello!' I am really not achieving anything much these days so all I can show you is 'lovely lovelies' that eventually I hope to do. My Japanese Flowers are progressing oh, so slowly and meanwhile I am dreaming up a design for the following applique piece! The lure of repros is always there with me - here's what is whizzing around in my mind - pretty hard to portray what is in there, lol! I love these baskets and flowers - to me they are stylised and would give me plenty of room to play - maybe the weekend will be kind to me and let me make a start! See the taupey fabric - it's from Japan so maybe a Daiwabo - I thought perhaps it would be nice for the background of the baskets and have ordered some more - and the other three are bits of stunners, particularly the blue!

I think this closeup, as fuzzy as it is, may give you and idea what I am on about - could be nice! Good luck hasn't arrived yet - still waiting to hear when Ed's open heart surgery will happen - meanwhile he's coping really well at home, spending most of the day in bed and reading lots of books. Another 'disaster' - Bailey, my grandson, who was to represent the State in AFL has a broken little finger, so looks like his trip to Canberra will definitely be out. This poor little finger was broken over three weeks ago at training - he showed it to Nana Tuesday evening - of course I went bananas playing Doctor Lurline and after more whizzing around with phone calls, hospitals and doctors, he is now at this minute seeing a specialist - would be lovely to get food news, but I'm sure we won't.

Off to do some bookwork and pay some bills - I'll try to avoid going to jail!

Hope life is treating you all kindly and you have a lovely weekend sewing!
