MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Some more progress

 It's not very exciting to see today but I did get the sky and the grass areas quilted.  

You should be able to click to embiggen and hopefully see the details a bit better.

And...because most of you couldn't see the 'sliver' details, hopefully this might show it better....


The Resident Chef is most disappointed in his little balcony garden this year.  He finally chopped down the Roma tomato plants that were producing nothing but little tomatoes all with blossom end rot.  Yesterday he did the same with his pepper plants - he harvested three little tiny peppers that weren't hardly enough to chop up into an omelet.  He's fed up with carrying water four times a day and swears that next year we'll only plant some herbs and be done with it all.  Can't say as I blame him.  We desperately need rain and it's not looking hopeful for at least another week.  I feel so sorry for the farmers whose crops are dying in the fields for lack of water.  

- Best pour yourself a cuppa (and have the pot handy too!) before you venture forth into THIS rabbit hole.  Some bread crumbs might be useful too (just sayin').

- THIS little fellow caught my eye.

- Have a peek through the gallery of THIS incredible artist!  Her medium is organza and I simply can't imagine how she does it.

- THIS takes you to a video showing how to make a tunnel book (something else I had never come across before). 

Today's quote is from Voltaire..."Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities"

  1. That spooky piece is coming along fast. Thanks for the closeup too. The tunnel book is new to me, too.

    1. I think I might be somewhat obsessed with this one and am spending far too much time playing with it. The tunnel book intrigued me so thought I'd share.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
