Also going for lots of lovely morning and weekend walks, around our beautiful river and at the beach occasionally too. I spent lots of hours finishing my hexie quilt - or at least finishing the TOP. The grand total is 1243 one-and-a-half inch hand pieced hexagons!! I can't really remember when I started, but I've been working on it (and off it for long periods of time) for about 5 years. I have truly loved the hand stitching process. Call me crazy, but I've bought a packet of little 1 inch hexie papers for my next one!! I am going to make it all out of my Liberty stash, BUT, I am not starting it until I finish a few more unfinished projects, in particular, 3 crochet rugs that are near completion. Not to mention 4 quilt tops in progress and the 4 finished tops that need sandwiching.
I am christening my hexie quilt Twelve Forty-Three in honour of the grand total. Here it is gracing my bed.
And here it is outside over the rail in the garden....
There's been a little bit of cake time too...this one made by our resident chef at work.....Banana cake with cinnamon cream frosting with honeyed pecans...he is the reason I stay in my job.....insert happy face here.....
Perth puts on the Perth International Arts Festival every year and as part of that said festival there is one huge free event held in the city each year. This year was truly incredible. The Giants came to town: a little girl and a man. Here are pictures of the girl taken as she danced above the crowd. The atmosphere over the 3 day event was electric in the city. The crowds were formidable and quite overwhelming at times, but it was worth it to be a part of the fun.
