Winter's Day

Can you see them ????

Black cockatoos with yellow under tail

These I have been lucky to see about 3 times since living here..

They come in when it is really cold & almost snow like..

I hear their call...

This time the block around 20 stayed 2 days !!!

Treat for cold weather.

******

I have a COLD & am I happy re that...no !!!

Hoping it drifts off by tomorrow.

I had a couple of personal stresses that upset me quite a bit & so I am calling this a stress induced cold.

******

Yesterday afternoon I did a bit of fabric painting...

They need a press with the iron before I will show you.

These are last years paintings on fabric....

It takes me a little while to get the rhythm of the flow of paint & the fabric I paint on....

More of the same

As today is fairly rough but dark today I may paint fabric again or if the light isn't strong enough

I shall think on some bits & pieces floating about..

Then maybe i will just make more of the button box carded buttons up....I also painted more for those the last 2 days...so the box is full once again....

While I was in the boxes in the garage at the weekend...

I found all manner of things...

Happy Santa Decoration on a felt heart..is one of last year's design 

Santa with Holly was the year before the above...with a tighter scalloped edge....

 *******

A lot I knew where in there & some fabrics & painted & stamped fabrics I renewed some memories..

In amongst the memories is this fabric painted santa face....which I did from my Christmas book ( Woodcutter's Daughter one )

for a Gathering weekend in Warracknabeal a while ago now.

There was also a bon bon that the painted face was also attached to.. or here we did a little bag to hang from a tree.

I have traced out some different Santa heads etc to paint when I finish an order...it's lovely to go back to fabric painting...

Then in the boxes I also found some Santa & rabbits stitchings that folk had stitched for me

Some of these became wood decorations in square postage stamp frames for a season some years back now.

Today more Xmas Button cards are loaded into the website. this is one of them !!

While my Steak Cooks

Dinner needs attention 

Cold & Foggy

theodoracleave.com

Brrr it is cold and foggy....as I wrote that a watery glimpse of sun has appeared.

Getting that winter time fed up style this week !

Anyway I have cheered myself a bit with these gorgeous carded buttons

The second set of Red Ladies has also gone onto the web this morning....

they were waiting to perhaps be taken someplace but they waited ....waited & are now ready to move on in a new life. This one has a Marilyn button in it

*****

It was 14 years this week since Mum died & we were all orphaned...

it seems a long time ago but also not so long....

memories of all sorts are often very present in my memories.

We all move along.... out of step for a while & for as long as it takes...

Wonderful thing is we are all unique... so this too is our own journey...

****

I must get going & tidy up what I see in front of me....

Later when I warm up more I fancy writing in my other blog

On a Branch a Bird Sings...it's on the side bar of this blog....
