I got to hold this little one as part of my licence training process. The experts make it look easy, believe me! We found several nests in the bo.
Joining in with the lovely Amy at Love Made My Home for Five on Friday! Another random selection this week. 1 Blackbird having a bath. He was having a good old splash and soaking my washing! I ran into to grab my camera and snapped this photo just as he emerged, shaking all the water off himself. After surviving a week of the holidays where it has barely stopped raining. Noticing how pretty these roses look after a shower. This is a black-work cr.
Thursday, 13 August 2015. Wednesday, 12 August 2015. You will be interested to note that white Nemesia. That smells of vanilla was reprieved, split up from its chums on the windowsill and made to sit in a shady place where the fragrance would not be so overpowering.

Saturday, June 2, 2012. coli, salmonella, oh my! Would banning triclosan protect or injure public health? But is triclosan one of these endocrine-disrupting chemicals? Another issue worth investigating further, relates to what happens to all that triclosan after it goes down the drain? But still you might be thinking that since you know for sure that these soaps reduce illness while all of these other risks are largely unproven, maybe you should continue to use them anyway.
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Here are a few of my finished blocks. Most of the blocks have a combination of embroidery, needle-turn applique and 3D work. Can you see the two rows of ecru stitching top and bottom? This was new to me but gives it a beautiful finish. You do a running stitch to the end, and then weave the embroidery thread back through the stitching line. Here are the three la.
Friday, September 11, 2009. Our failure in rebuilding the country shows in our failure to rebuild the World Trade Center.

I was not prepared for my reaction. we have already had 7 anniversaries of the day. why should today be different than the last ones. are you listening? Want to unite this country? Then quit politicizing things that matter, quit p.
