So what goes with Wednesday....yes... you got it...flowers! And specifically, One Flower Wednesday.
That's why when I got up this morning I started thinking hexies...
I haven't progressed much further on my gmg quilt since this post for OFW (blame Christmas-etc-for that!) but I've been thinking I would like to have a play with our New Zealand Kiwiana fabrics...

| The lovely melodic Tui in the beautiful Pohutukawa trees. |
Also today I've been having a bit of a play with my new toy. Can you guess what it is?
-he he, a label maker. These are my buckets of scraps all carefully colour-coded. (Ready for more house-building). These are empty honey buckets, the MOML gets through a couple of these a year having honey on his toast every morning; I really need to start cooking him more toast as I still have yellows, purples and blacks waiting for a bucket!
And I'm sure this happens in most homes when a new toy like this appears —
Have a great day everyone and happy stitching :-)

What fun...Have you ventured into the kitchen with your new toy yet?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a new toy, the label maker.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to store scraps.
Beautiful red hexie, like the tui in the center. Have fun with your new toy - cute dog!
ReplyDeleteI remember going a bit nuts with a label maker at work years ago. They are fun.
ReplyDeleteCan you remember the old plastic tape ones that you had to indent the letters into the tape? They were horrible as was hard to get consistent pressure, and very hard on the hands.
Love the new ones though.
Well done, such a beautiful flower! And, I think someone needs to take the label maker away from Raewyn!!!!! Love your buckets for Building Houses.
ReplyDeleteYou're a hoot! I love your flower, but I don't love that you're a day ahead, because I always think I forgot my flowers! But it's only Tuesday here, so I'm okay.
ReplyDeleteStep away from the label maker!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have to keep that new toy somewhere safe. Please tell me you won't put labels on EVERYTHING will you? I hope you don't turn up to work one day with one on yourself!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your post.
ReplyDeleteGreat flower.Love the middle hexie.
These "Little Houses" have a lot to answer to. I had to buy a BIGGER plastic tub so I could rumage through my scraps better.Not as organised as you to colour code buckets.
Poor Oscer-Riley. LOL
A couple of years ago my son bought a label maker and we went label mad too.
ReplyDeleteI like to label things too and you look super organised. Love the flower. Have you seen House of Ashton blog? Kimber has some fabulous quilts on there from a recent exhibition, you will love them.
ReplyDeleteBack again just to say that Kimbers blog is Heirlooms of Ashton House. She is on my sidebar if you haven't already been there.
ReplyDeleteDear little puppy, I guess he needs to remember his name!
ReplyDeleteYour flower is gorgeous with the fussy cutting centre!
Beautiful flower - love the fussy cut center!! It's much more fun to put a sticker on a cat :)
ReplyDeleteLove your Kiwiana fabric.
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with my label maker too (reminds me that I need to buy more label tape!).
Poor Oscar Riley, please don't put him in a bucket! Love your hexie! Hugs, Kim C ^i^
ReplyDeleteVery nice flower, I love that bird in the middle.
ReplyDeleteGood toy - a label maker - looks neat and needful!!!!
That's too funny. I went label crazy too when I first got my label maker. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove that flower for this week--
ReplyDeleteI need to do some (or rather get back to the ones I have cut out and still need to be sewed--but now I see the one with the fussy cut petals or like yours with the fussy cut center and I want to do some of them instead????!!!???)
and I love the colors of your 12 day of Christmas quilt--right up my alley!!!!
Hugs, Di
