A little bit drippy today

 

The rain has brought out all the lilies. They were just a mixture but this one has thrown up a lovely rich coloured flower. It is almost chocolate brown on the underside of the petals.


 

I thought the lily went rather well with this collection of fabric and threads I have pulled out for an idea I have had. Bright eh? :o)

------------------------------

The contractors arrived as arranged on Monday and  put in a bag to temporarily support the road until they arrange the permanent solution. 

 

 

The footpath was closed off and they are now removing the soil and then the top row of blocks
before adding an extra block. Once the top blocks are put back on and the soil restored it is beginning to look a little more like it was pre-flood. It certainly looks safer even before the fence is added.


I am linking this to WOW on Esther's blog

Once I used to have the bad habit of pulling the top thread backwards through the tension discs on my sewing machine when I wanted to remove the spool of thread. When I realised that that could cause tension problems with the buildup of lint I started to change threads properly by cutting the thread before the tension discs and then pulling the thread through. This obviously results in tailends of thread about a foot(30 cm )long.

If you save them eventually you find a use for them .

This is the third 300gram coffee jar that I have filled!!! That is one heck of a lot of thread :o)

Can you tell that I like metallic threads?
