My NZ blanket
After about 6 months work I have finally finished my NZ Birds in the Bush blanket. It is stitched with tapestry wool on an old green woollen blanket. I enjoyed finding pictures of birds and working them into the pattern bit by bit as a space needed filling in. There was no real plan to start with but the idea sprang from a crewel work book. I thought I would do NZ things instead of flowers and leaves.

Sean's activity book
I
I have finished Sean's activity book in about a week which is amazing. But then mostly I had everything I needed as I went to spotlight with a list. I wrote the verses myself based on the book my kids had called 'Over in Meadow'. The thing I really like about Australia is the exciting and surprising fauna. I want Sean to be proud of being an Australian even though his Mum and Dad have different backgrounds. 2nd page the kangaroos can jump along the string.
3rd page there is a squeaker in the mother kookaburra.
4th page had stiff wings that flap.
I hope he likes it.
