I KNOW!!! Haven't I got work to do?? Or sleep to have?? Yep, but I also have to share stuff... this is a bit photo heavy but it's worth it... really it is... :-)
I was working on a swap project and it made me think of the very gorgeous embroidered wall hanging that Linda (who has a delightful new baby granddaughter) made for me in the 'time for tea' swap earlier this year
Exquisite embroidery in gentle tones - how spoilt....
Pride of place in the entry hall
See that door? That leads to The Cave... We hide in The Cave... Holy Amazing Batcaves Batman...
Ratty helped me sort out some paperwork. Think he's pretending to be a paperweight? Guess again...
he's in the basket... Ratty, I can't sort out the papers with you on top :-)
A couple of quilts from last week... by Glenys - the quilting doesn't always have to be curly, flowy, loopy stuff. The smart and grown up paisley border is the perfect finish for a contemporary design
Jenny's quilt - feathers and feathery flowers for a gorgeous black/white/lavender/green ensemble
The boys have a secret. Ratty wants Norm to tell you all about it but I don't think Norm cares too much for secrets...
he thinks he's an Ent - and Ents take a loooong tiiiime to saaaay thiiiiings
or he could be a groundcover... botanical name - "prostrate chuckinus a spreadii"
go here if you're game...
Look what happened ...
I don't know how... all I did was click a few buttons and then all of a sudden this arrived at my door :-)
from Mother's Cupboard... I love stuff
bed time... but before I go this one's for Ina
Theodorus Smarmypants 'before'...
and you'll have to wait a few more days for the 'after'. Such a silly name, he doesn't even WEAR pants...
Does he look like anyone you know? Kind of reminds me of my year 10 French teacher... of course, he did wear pants.... :-)
seeya later sweet potatoes

Now just how embarrassed would Mr. Theadorus be if he new you had posted a picture of him without his pants. Shame Shame.
I love all the bugs and smile each time I see a picture of them. Thanks
