morning ladies 
What a gorgeous sunrise we have this morning.
Ohhhh you meanies putting flea stuff on your critters...
I'm sure they will find a way to pay you back some how lmao. We bought the very expensive flea stuff that 'guarantees your dog will love it' at $99, so-called meat flavoured chews he was supposed to devour from our hands with his tail wagging and thinking he was having a treat. Nope. Not on your nelly. Wasn't happening. There was no way he was going to have it. Even when hidden in his food. He looked at us as if he was saying, who are you trying to kid, here? It's hard enough to get his drontal and pexion into him so we picked our battle and went back to using comfortis for fleas. At least all of those can be disguised in some cheese which he loves. Our friend ended up with the flea stuff he hated so at least one dog was able to use it. An expensive exercise never to be repeated! 
Not sure what we're doing today. MrK is beginning to pull out the tomatoes that have finished and preparing the vegie garden for the winter veg. We already have some cabbages and silverbeet back in the garden. Now it's a battle of wills against the white butterfly. Why does our silverbeet go to seed just when it's $6.50 a packet! Yesterday he accidently snipped a piece of a pumpkin off and it had a baby pumpkin still growing. Even though it was small, we had it for dinner last night, sooo good!
Oh-hunnihunni, I'm glad we are able to inspire you. I belong to an international embroidery group on FB and there are lots of ladies there who embroider their saris and kanthas... omgg they are just stunning. Lots of beginner embroiderers too, all different styles from around the world. It's a very positive group and no one puts anyone down. Advice is freely shared and often there are ideas I would never have thought of. No sales are allowed, it's strictly a 'show and tell' group.
I'm still working on my tui and yesterday stitched the kowhai flowers without the fuss I had last time around. I've outlined the tui's body and that will be the next bit to embroider. Making the whole thing a bit smaller has certainly helped my mindset over this piece.
Washing machine is telling me it's finished so like a good slave to the machines, I'm off to hang out the washing.
Happy crafting
