20 !!!!!

20

What a respectable old lady !

At the age of twenty ?

Old ?

YES

when you're a Burmese cat
you are !
(but our dear Bella is still going strong !)

These past few weeks I was busy with the concertina booklets
of Mandy Pattullo's workshop.
But my first fabric book was for daughter
so I only showed the second one in the tin box.
Today, while celebrating the summer holidays with a BBQ
I could give her the finished book,
her own Fire-keeper story.

 When still working on the covers and inside stitching with
MAGIC thread ...




Some close-ups :

Fire  !

Inside the hut 

at the end a new start !

The garden is as full as it ever was :
no sigh of the empty spaces after all the work at the terrace
and hardly any fence left to see







And inside, in the bathroom upstairs at the north facing window,
one of the orchids is very happy
and started flowering again



We're happy too
in our green oasis !

turning ... (out of time)

Ha, we had a birthday girl today :
14
Yippee !
A beautiful number
and when you turn it around ...
there is mum's age
41
(even my age you can turn ...
well, upside down, and nothing happens)

Daughter was very busy this week
designing a drawing 
for the handle of her Fire-keeper's pitchfork :
a fire-breathing lizard


Turning and turning to get it on the handle.

Yesterday I finally started on a cord (belt)
to go with the little bag I made in Judit Pócs' workshop
(about a year ago !)
Judit is such an amazing felting artist
and we learned SO much there !!!
But in one way or another 
I never came to finish that belt.


Little coloured diamonds growing on the cord

Halfway there ...

Tomorrow I will finish it,
and make a closure for the bag
