Wendy of Sugarlane Designs kindly invited us to join her for FNSI tonight. An opportunity to stitch and sew in the company of others and then spend a little time over the weekend seeing what everyone got up to.
I had decided that this afternoon was going to be spent appliqueing some more of those tyres. I had them all prepped and ready to go —
But I spied my Anni Downs/Scrub Stitching project on the ironing board and got sidetracked by that!
I spent a bit of time stitching;

| My birds have bodies now. |
I've early finished the applique on this block but it has some stitching on it too to bring it to life —
Thanks Wendy for gathering us all together. You can visit her blog *here* to see the other FNSI-ers.
The photo at the top of the blog showed that the day started off pretty nicely. Today's walk was a flat one after yesterday's epic hilly walk. I kept to the paddocks this time.

| This part of the farm has some lovely trees on it. |
 |
| Trusty companion Emma is showing us how big this old Totara is. |
I ended up down at this part of the river, this is a lovely swimming hole area.
 |
| I managed to capture a Fantail. They always flit around me while I walk but they don't stay still for long so I never get a photo. |
 |
| Visited the Pou made for us by our old neighbour. |
 |
| And Emma took a quick dip. |
'til next time,
safe and happy stitches,
I love that wood carving and such a nice piece for your neighbor to make and give you. You have such lovely land - I take it you have no very close to you neighbors - with all that land it would be hard to have some one almost next door to you.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Emma! She is so photogenic!
ReplyDeleteIts always interesting to accompany you on your walks. Love the scrub stitching project -...looking forward to those tyres!!! LOL how easy to get distracted.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your walk today, from the comfort of my home!! Emma seems to enjoy getting out with you, must have been warm to have the swim! You are making great progress on all your projects Raewyn. Maybe today will be tyre day?
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say the pou is fantastic, wonderful to have that on your place.
ReplyDeleteAnother enjoyable post
ReplyDeleteLooks like another lovely walk. We have fantails here in the garden, they flit about and show those beautiful tails. Such adorable birdies.
ReplyDeleteIt's very easy to get side tracked by other projects isn't it?
Nice walk. Great wood carving. Love the fabric you are using in Foxley Village.
ReplyDeleteVery nice sidetrack Raewyn....a lovely project. I so enjoyed your wander with you and your Pou statue is amazing....what a lovely gift xx
ReplyDeleteLovely stitcheries Raewyn and I enjoy seeing the photos of your farm, what a beautiful place to live, hope you've had some of the rain over the past few days.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see all the great photos of your walk.The Pou craving looks amazing. A wonder gift. Emma looks like she loves her cooling down dip.
ReplyDeleteYou've done some fun stitching and I'm sure you'll get the pouch finished today.
I really enjoyed "our walk" together. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Some nice work happening in your sewing room.
ReplyDeleteOnce again such idyllic pictures. That first one looks like a painting it’s such lovely light. I love seeing Emma taking a dip. Your stitching is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe pouches are lovely - I have seen a few around! Shame you missed your trip but nice to have something from it. xx
ReplyDeleteHow easily we get distracted, but also lovely to have choices. Good to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be one sweet pouch. I love the stitching block on that polka dot fabric! Thanks for sharing your walk with us too. I love my morning walks with Gracie, my dog. I should try to see about taking more pictures while I'm out & about.
