One Flower Wednesday-reporting



Enjoying the little things, like how every stitch counts, how my little lobelia's are happily growing even if I haven't been able to come out to the balcony to see them. How every comment you leave makes me feel more determined to get better.

:)
It has been another slow week, but I did manage to go and teach my classes and help a friend set up her new sewing room. I can't wait to show you pictures!


So here are my two babies: I was needing to make one extra as I was busy with other hexies last week... :)
Thank you Karen, for getting us inspired so we can share our wednesdays making hexi-flowers together. Welcome Sandra and Danielle who have joined Ann, Jan and Cathi and I as we
slowly watch our gardens grow...



This picture for our banner was taken on a lovely lazy Sunday afternoon
as I was walking through this glorious garden


trying to take pictures of my Potluck hexies.



When all of a sudden
I was surrounded by butterflies who wanted to come and say hi.


May you have special unexpected visits as well...
Have a lovely rest of your week!
:)

My Patchwork Family Through Adoption

A Bit of Africa and China
Came knocking on our door
And in a home where there was longing
Now empty rooms no more

Like a Quilt of Many Colours
Our Family stitched together into One
God's Love and Grace for us Abundant
In the Miracle of our Sons
