Crochet Hexagon Blanket - Update

Last Month I got the itch to go back and do some more work on this Blanket. I ordered the rest of the yarn I think I will need to finish it and started working up little hexagons. I created a half hexagon to fill the gaps on 2 of the sides. I've yet to work out how to fill the triangular spaces on the other sides, I'm not making all of my sides flat yet. I still need to add some size, it almost fits across my bed now, I think two more lengthwise rows will make it a nice size for a topper and two or three rows added to the length should finish it. plan to do a simple border of some sort but haven't thought too much about that yet. While I do love this project, I feel my interest waning again. Though I have no doubt it will be my 'go to' project once winter hits. It's lovely to have over my lap as I work on it. I started a sophies universe and while the pattern is stunning, Ultimately I don't think it's a design that reflects me, so

Spinebills and Kangaroo Paws

Eastern Spinebills In Kangaroo paw blooms currently capturing my heart at the Australian National Botanic Gardens. Two gorgeous Aussie Natives. Look at this tiny bird with its entire beak down the throat of the flower gathering nectar. The display of Kangaroo paws at ANBG is starting to fade now but the mass plantings were absolutely stunning a few weeks ago. I've been making it a habit to go every week now, the incline walking of the hilly site is good for me and there are so many busy summer birds about. The Eastern Spinebills (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris) are one of Australia's smaller honey eaters. They feed on nectar and insects and are one of the only Australian birds ( that I'm aware of ) that can hover. Their long curved beaks are well suited for tubular and bell shaped flowers. Through my floristry and plant study Kangaroo Paw (anigozanthos) have become one of my favourite Australian flowers they come in these very tall versions and also more compact forms i

Duck Egg Blue

We painted a wall in the bedroom too! After - Dulux Duck Egg Blue We had to as it had a big tan-ish test colour patch on it as well as the discolouration from a large framed picture I showed you earlier in the year. When I just went looking for these before pictures I was slightly horrified to see they were taken in Jan! Has it really been a whole year?? Well, as the camera doesn't lie yes it has been that long. Before Our original plan was to do a Tan feature wall in a cream/white room. The walls and ceiling have always been pale blue and as we are robbed of time to go with our original plan we opted for a deeper shade of blue for the feature wall as seen in the top image. Its Dulux Duck Egg Blue. A very Pretty blue, ever so slightly grey shade.
