Flowers and Creatures


Sweet Peas in the Garden. Photos taken a couple of weeks ago.





Peacock Butterfly






/This photograph was taken on the furthest optical and digital zoom my device has! Did not want to disturb him or her. It was also raining.


Think this is a young buzzard taken on the same walk, same distant zoom.

This Sparrow seems to be eating a dragonfly.  Don't know whether the sparrow killed it or whether it was already dead.


















More flowers in the garden.


















Completed a top and trousers  Size age one.

Taken 19th July in the Garden

 


Himalayan Honeysuckle




Am fairly sure this is a type of bee fly. A welcome visitor to the garden.

Makes - Sewing


This is  a dress made using this pattern 




Have just used pinking for neatening edges, I think this is ok for small garments and a soft edge.


As this dress seems quite short and is shown in picture with knickerbockers I have cut out to make a matching pair.



I have top stitched around the bodice, but the edge is hand stitched down as well. 

Hand stitched inside edges of cuffs as instructed by pattern.





Using this pattern for the knickerbockers.

Also, I am making a top, short dress from this pattern with matching knickerbockers in age 1 size.

Full moon and Roses

Dress made for Grandchild to grow into!




My pics of the last but one full moon.



The weird silhouette at the front is actually the top of a tree.






Roses, complete with wildlife!










Just a Rose.







Still there the next day.
