You can never have enough...

morning ladies We have fog this morning which shows how warm it was last night.

Glass jars sound perfect for your pretty threads, OHH Good luck with the jar hunting. Once you have deleted everything on those memory sticks, OHH, they could be donated too. I bet it felt good ripping the thesis up Once I got rid of my uni stuff it felt like a huge weight was gone and closed a chapter on my life.

No sign of any birds yesterday thanks to the rain. It bucketed down for most of the day and showers in between. No complaints as the garden was so dry the soil was crumbling. Now it looks nice and fresh and 'clean'. I didn't think I was going to have any iris' this spring thanks to the late frost, but they have come away again and I have some flowering. One will need moving as it is obviously unhappy where it is planted. Still no roses but plenty of buds.

Yesterday I spent a few hours on the kotare/kingfisher's wings. Am not sure if I'm happy with it or not. I'll stitch down the breast and see if that makes a difference. Maybe fresh eyes today will help too. I belong to an international embroidery FB page and a kiwi who is in the group has offered to ask her award winning photographer friend if I could stitch her photos. What an honour!

We were talking with our daughter yesterday and now know what the grandies are 'in' to. I'll have a look around for some C S Lewis books and books on space. Book depository should have them but will price them locally first. We have always bought books for our kids for Christmas and are continuing with this for the grandies.

If the weather plays nice today, I'll move that iris and cut back a couple of plants that are still struggling due to the frost. And a bit of weeding. But first I need to buy a new pair of gumboots. My old pair split at the heel where I use my foot to help kick them off. Never buying a cheap pair from the Warehouse again, they lasted all of one season.

Happy crafting
