January 2018 Photo Scavenger Hunt

Once again, despite a chaotic a busy life, I've managed to get myself ready for Hawthorn's Photo hunt.  So shall we see what I have come up with?

1   Yellow

I know a lot of people hate dandelions but I love them!  They make me smile

and some grass verges near us are bright yellow - wonderful.

Bees and insects love them so I think we ought to.

2  Starts with O...

What begins with O?  Owl of course, in fact Boris!

Any excuse to feature Boris.

3  Light

We set out walking locally and it was a dull and grey and overcast day.

But look at the patch of light that appeared!  Just for us.....

4  Found

I've made several blankets from Attic24 and have saved the unused yarn. 

Recently I came across this stash and decided to wind all the same colours together.

However I've started a new Attic24 blanket and it uses these colours.

So I put them to one side, in a safe place.  Two weeks later I wanted to find them.

I could not find them.  I looked and looked but my eyes did not alight upon them.

Then I FOUND them.  I was looking for a plastic bag, having forgotten 

I'd put them in this wicker basket.....

Normally it is Beloved who asks (generally daily) 'have you seen XXX?' - it

is rare for me to 'lose' anything......

5  Colourful

Well, with about 12 hours before this goes live I changed my mind about the photo for Colourful!!!  I'll save the other one for another time......

I hope you agree that the new quilt make the sofa look colourful.....

I only collected it on Wednesday from the lady doing the long arm quilting,

trimmed it down the same day and yesterday I managed to sew the binding on

which I have yet to hand sew on.  I'm really pleased with it and love

to see all my colourful fabrics.  I took the 2 arm chair quilts to her

on Wednesday and I might get them back within a fortnight....

If anyone has any spare hours they are not using, please send them to me, thanks!

6  Own Choice

I saw a small bag made from hexagons months ago; I took a few photos and

thought no more.  Later I decided to make a bigger version.  I had a bit of a

struggle with it as I'd not realised that had to be pentagons on row 3

so make the sides appear.  I had to make alternate hexagons into pentagons

so that the sides would appear; I did this by folding them.

The bag is about 44 cm wide and about 28 cm tall.
