It's a beautifully cold, clear and very windy day. Oh, I love days like this, even if I had to spend some time this morning securing the garden furniture before this evening's expected gale force winds. The sun is coming through my sewing room window, and this morning I worked on a pile of quilted sunnyboys that were waiting for zips and some seams. I'm a lazy sewer - I don't like changing thread colours in my machine more than I have to. Today it was red thread and white thread day. Tomorrow it will be taupe thread and cream thread day.
Some of these are for my Etsy store, but the rest are for the gallery shop opening in early October.
OK, OK - I couldn't stay away for long. Come back tomorrow for the giveaway details.
Weeehee! I've been away for ages (I'm overseas atm) but it's so lovely to come back to your sparkly blog! You're doing amazing things, as always :-) They look spectacular on that tree! And what's this about a gallery opening?! Geez, you go away for a few weeks and everything happens... :-) Congratulations on whatever it is! And I can't wait for the giveaway xxx
ReplyDeleteThey look so beautiful sprouting from your tree. I'm loving the pink with red mushrooms...pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have the same thread changing aversion as you. I have my sisters sewing machine set up to stay on white thread so I don't have to constantly change (especially at the end when I only need white thread to sew on a tiny CurlyPops label).
Oh I am the same with changing thread ... and I wish our crab apple was as neat as yours ... maybe I should try pruning it ....
ReplyDeleteI think that fruit is much better- you could almost call it a money tree of sorts. I'll be back tomorrow to see what that giveaway is.
ReplyDeletethey look so lovely on display! :D
ReplyDeleteand it's an awesome picture as well :)
Love it
The best kind of fruit ever!!
ReplyDeleteooo yes - so lush and blossoming. you would have to find the perfect branch and set it up just like that.
ReplyDeletethank you for the tiffin - I got to keep some after the greedy small people had a share. I shouldn't have exclaimed how wonderful it was so loudly! now they are all gone to their respective houses I might just have one with a cup of tea.
That black bellbird one is just fabulous...
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how big they were!! They look Fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right ~ you couldn't get a better display. They look fabulous and would sell like hotcakes!
ReplyDeleteA sunnyboy tree- must plant me one of those...
ReplyDeleteMaybe that photo should sit somewhere in your sewing room for days when the sun is not coming through your window.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic bags, I wish I had a sunnyboy tree in my backyard.

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! They look just amazing - what pretty fruit your tree has!
ReplyDeletethey look fantastic! your tree is really the best displayer of goods - the brooches displayed in a similar way looked ace too! =)
ReplyDeleteGreat,great photo. I was super-excited to see that you have made my fabric into some of your fantasic Sunny Boys! I have added your link to "Who's using our fabric" on my blog. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm - beautiful tree and gorgeous sunnyboy bags :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm moving to a new house in a few weeks and can't wait to plant a crabapple (Malus floribunda) in the back garden as one of the first changes to the garden.
I love cold clear weather too .... it makes everything seem sparkly!
