A little quiet

  Things have been a little quiet on the crafting front here the last week or so….just working away on my SSCS project….which must remain a secret….not even little sneakies!!!!   So I thought I’d take you for a walk through my garden……being spring, lots more is happening on the outside, rather than inside!!!! 012 Can you guess what these are????? 014 015 016 the seeds of this huge palm tree!!!!!  Amazing aren’t they?? 020 The mangoes are ripening….mmmmm……smoothies!!! 039 The gardenias smell incredible……..pity we didn’t have scratch n sniff screens!!!! 042 the cycad’s new growth is emerging…  032031 the ixoras keep blooming…. 002 004 028 027 030 050 …as do the roses….aren’t they just gorgeous??? 043 Guess what this is??? 045 unfolding….. 044 …nearly there….. 046 My beautiful red torch ginger….isn’t she a beauty??? 047 But I can’t leave you with no crafty pictures at all….. Jill F Jacobean Stitchery This is amazing!!!…If you click on the picture and take a close up….one of our ladies at the guild made this magnificent Jacobean stitchery!  I was in awe…the stitches are so teeny and perfect!!!  I just couldn’t stop looking at it…and it’s going to look even more wonderful when it’s framed…I can only aspire to such perfect stitchery! Aaah well, must just go off and practice then!!!!! LOL Have a wonderful week…..I hope you enjoyed our trip round my garden! Sugary hugs XX Wendy :O)
