February

February means heat and back to work - neither of which are conducive to creativity. Plus a family wedding thrown in the mix, it's been a busy few weeks. I took the pre-wedding photos and will not be giving up my day job any time soon.

 The wedding flowers were beautiful - apparently the florist had books of different shades of pink roses you can choose from - imagine that. The roses were the most delicate pink, darker around the edges.

Today I finished all the blocks I had cut - 56 altogether. So I laid them out and am pleased with the effect. You can see darker patches where I have made myself use more mid-tone fabrics. I think it will make a great bed quilt and would like it to be quite large so am going to have to do a whole lot more cutting. Oh dear.

And to top it all off it's tomato season! I've have had to halt all other activities twice now to  cook up huge woks full of tomatos - home grown tomatos are so sweet. Delicious with lots of basil.
