Gosh over a week has passed since my last post. It's been busy around here but I don't have very much to show for it.
Today is Wednesday,
One Flower Wednesday in fact. I'm happy to have made a couple of new hexies; I haven't done any for a little while but I do enjoy them so much. I'm still with my NZ theme and this week I made a slightly smaller one too.

| (Again the Tui graces my post. He also showed up last post) |
I've also made a couple more sewing pouches, similar to the one I made
here. I had fun making the spool blocks for the bigger one, and really love the look they give it.
Spring is definitely in the air here, (although there is a bit of a nasty spell of weather happening down country at the moment) and the Magnolia tree has been looking -and smelling- wonderful. It's really starting to get some height on it now.

| Check out the lovely blue sky! |
The spring weather seems to have really affected the animals. Yesterday I caught Timmie practising her hunting skills.....

| BEFORE shot.... |

...AFTER shot
These birds are an easy catch :-) |
(The grey bird block she is hunting is another I have tested for
Juliet of Tartankiwi. More about it another time.) (Judging by the size of Timmie in these photos I really think it best she sticks to hunting fabric birds and not the real thing!!)
In spite of the spring weather, Oscar-Riley was feeling a little chilly and decided he really liked my Temecula Baskets quilt.

| Now I know why I make small quilts.... |
 |
| A perfect fit :-) |
Thank you for visiting, happy stitching, and have a lovely day,
Glad you are back to your hexies! and I love the theme!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pouches - they look a very useful size.
I love magnolia trees - look at all those blooms!
Great critter shots!
Love your Kiwi themed hexies and those pouches are just gorgeous. Timmie is not so daft. Finding a way to hunt in the comfort of you own home is quite a feat. How nice of you to provide her with a suitable selection of prey. Oscar-Riley is so cute under his new blanket think he'll be a bit upset when you claim it back! Hugs....
ReplyDeleteNice NZ flowers to add to your others.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pouches and I like the fabric you used on them as well as the wee spool.
Love the photos of the cat stalking your beautiful fabric pieced birds and Oscar/Riley looks very smart in that cute mini..
Nice pouches--they look very handy!
ReplyDeleteTimmie is too funny--reliving glory days of being trim and able to catch those flighty birds!
And the photos of your pooch wearing the basket quilt--LOL!
Great post, Raewyn!
So nice bird hexies again. I grinned when I saw your cat with the bird blogs and the dog under the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers especially the navy one. I hope tommies didn't catch the bird :-)))))) Oscar-Rieley looks really cosy. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of your pets enjoying your creations....they like quilts too.
ReplyDeleteHi Raewyn... Timmie is funny, & your little doggie loves a blanket just like mine does!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hexy flowers again, what are you going to make with them?
Beautiful creations Raewyn ... I especially love your sewing pouches. The photos of your cat & dog are very funny ... sometimes you just have to grab the camera to record those moments. Thats the great thing about blogging ... we otherwise would not bother & so, never have that record of our beloved pets "doing their thing". Hugs, Julie
ReplyDeleteWhat fun hexies!! Love, love the NZ theme!! You know I love flower photos!! And the magnolia is a great one! Seems "funny" that spring is in the air!! We've got a touch of fall in ours!! We've been enjoying being outside after the hot summer days.
ReplyDeleteThe pets are soooo cute!!! I love that Timmie - knows what kind of thing to hunt!! LOL!!
How are the calves? Cows? It has been awhile since we chatted - hope you have time to catch me up!!
Hugs my sweet dear friend!
Oh Raewyn,
ReplyDelete'Timmie practising her hunting skills' made ma laugh out loud. Great way to start my day.
Thanks for sharing.
lots of makes this week, the dog make me chuckle with his mini quilt.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, love the hunting photos!
ReplyDeleteBetter that he hunts fabric birds than real native birds :-)
Cute flowers, & the hunting of the birds is just priceless!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't got to my pouches yet, maybe this weekend?
ReplyDeleteGee you furry friends rule the roost!
Is your cat for real - or did you hide some cat treats under the blocks?? Dogs are so much better behaved aren't they?? Oscar-Riley looks very proud of himself with his finery.
ReplyDeletethose pouches are lovely and Oscar-Riley has great taste..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers in those dark colors. Nice pouches too.
ReplyDeletePretty hexies this week and your pouches are so nice! Love the photos of your "animal children" too!
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see hexies. I must make some also, if I find the time, they are lovely to make. Nice pouches, too. Ah, what a pity for Timmie the birds aren't real, and Oscar is a real model, love the Temecula quilt and the sashings are so nice!
ReplyDeleteLove, Cisca
Gosh, you've been so productive! I feel like a slug, lol. I have been busy but I don't have many completed projects. I want to make some of those little bags, they are awesome! The hexie birds are wonderful and I can't wait to see what you end up doing with them.
ReplyDeletesweet pouches and sweet pet photos too.
ReplyDeleteSo rich and beautiful, I love the flowers! Wonderful pouches too, the fabric combination is lovely. And, what can I say about Timmie practising her hunting skills? So cute!
ReplyDeleteCute hexie flowers :) and I love your spool pouches - just beautiful!
ReplyDeletePets can be so fun :)
Hugs,
Tatyana
