You can never have enough...

morning ladies Be careful what you wish for! We wanted rain and boy did we get it. Not as bad as Auckland though but we had the thunder and lightening. The ground was so dry in the paddock next door the water was pooling around the trees and took ages to soak in. Because we had been watering our garden over the last few weeks, the rain was able to soak in quickly here so no huge puddles for us. More rain today

The Furry One spent a lot of the day with us trying to hide from the thunder but perked up when the weather cleared a bit in the afternoon. No damage to the garden, not even old branches have fallen off the trees so not much mess to clear away. I think the cyclone we had a while back took out the dead or dying branches so there was nothing this time.

Thanks for looking up the daylight saving date, popeye. The 3rd April is nearly here so we'll have to make the most of the summer hours.

Yesterday I stitched part of the falcon's foot, it took most of the morning and part of the afternoon and I still haven't finished it. Trying to get the right angles of the 'toes' and claws was tricky and took a lot of referencing back to the photo. It doesn't have to be exactly like the photo but the direction of my stitches is important to give the impression of size and separated 'toes'.

A good nights sleep does do wonders, oh_hunnihunni and in more ways than one. How many times have we thought, I'll sleep on that thought and the next day see things clearer.

Happy crafting
