It's Mine!

good morning..haha! it's just turned into afternoon!

it was such a fresh sunny morning out there

that before sitting down

i just had to peg the washing out on the line to dry

and do a bit more cleaning and sorting.

at the end of winter here in australia

i find the light changes

and all those corners that looked ok in the dimness of winterlight

look musty and dusty in springlight

and need a thorough going over!

yesterday, however,

i made up the second fabric that i bought

in the ty pennington range.

i made two luxury size cushions...

for my house.

these won't be going on madeit!

they will eventually be on the black leather couch

but the light was better here for pictures this morning...

birds & butterflies...

first cushion.

this was the best of the pics on the black couch...

notice all the light at the top of the cushion.

i think they'll look good here though.

birds & butterflies

second cushion...

both backs are very similar...

teamed with plain black kona quilting fabric

and black buttons.

i embroidered different flowery tags in shades of coppery orange

to emphasise the lovely tangerine flowers on the fabric.

stacked on the chinese chest...

 another angle.

i thought i might make up the other more geometric fabric

in a pair of smaller cushions to go with these

on the black couch.

i don't know whether they'll happen straight away though!

any more sunshine

and it'll be more spring cleaning

on my list do do first.

i hope all of you

on the eastern u.s.a coast

are ok after hurricane irene....

and all those around the phillipines

and taiwan

and places in between

are ok too after the typhoon.

stay safe and have a good monday!
