Teeny Treasures
Teeny Treasures
A special delivery for a special little bundle….
This is a Cinderberry Stitches pattern by Natalie Lymer called “Once Upon a Time” which was featured in the Kids Issue of Homespun….issue number 89 (Vol 11 no 10) if you’re interested in making it for a teeny treasure!!!!! I made it for a work colleague’s first born and I used fabric from the Zippedy Doo Dah range by Sandy Gervais for Moda which I love…….I don’t think l’il Riley will grow out of it too soon!
As well as that, I’ve been working on keeping my BOM’s up to date….I was already behind with this one…
until this yummy lot arrived on Friday…..
….which I’ve quickly turned into this….
I’ve never stitched with 6 strands of floss before but I really like the effect it has.
These little critters are just too cute!!!….I can’t wait for block 2 to come!!!!!
And now the rain’s starting to subside (for the time being! Our wet season hasn’t REALLY started yet!!!!), we’ve been able to get out into the garden for a look for little garden treasures that have grown with all the goodness the good earth has provided…..
….and I found this……
Our very own pineapple that has grown from a pineapple top I cut off and stuck in the ground…..it’s as easy as that up here in the tropical north!!!
More teeny treasures…..
…..no….take a closer look……
….there he is! These little green frogs are popping up everywhere…..
on rocks,
on roses,
and on MORE roses!
We’re even getting different varieties…. I found this little Barra Frog hiding in the grass….
look how teeny he is when he’s compared to a blade of grass!!
and everything’s starting to bloom again…..
………..everywhere!!!!
It’s so easy to be thankful when you take a look around!
What teeny treasures will you find this week?
