Last Rainbow Scrappy for July and Blue

By the skin of my teeth!  Here are my D4Ps in blue for the month of July:

Not a lot to show for July but between learning EQ and gardening when it’s fine I don’t seem to have done much stitching!

To see what everyone else has been doing with their blue scraps go take a look on Angela’s Soscrappy blog  here .

I gathered my little crop of blackcurrants before the birds got them this year.  Here they are in a small blue colander:

Quite a yield!!  One whole cup full! LOL… They are in the freezer and will get used together with some Bramley apples for a pie one day.

To close here is a picture of our very first bunny Rabbi.  She came to live with us one day when my DS Lewis turned up at the door with her followed by her hutch, which his pal was carrying.  It was nearly Lewis’ 14th birthday and despite being told no pets… he had other ideas.  Lewis’ pal’s mum had decided that since her son wasn’t taking care of Rabbi properly that she could be given to Lewis as a birthday present.  When we took her to be neutered (thinking she was a he) we discovered that she was female.  She came with the name Rabbi and she lived until she was about 10 and was Biscuit’s bunwife.  Sadly she passed away a few years back now.  Although she came into our home as Lewis’ bunny she very much ended up as my bunny.  RIP little one.

Hope everyone is fine and having a good summer.

I’m going to go do some EQ now and catch up on the lessons from Quilt University.  Or I may sew some more ;)

Rainbow scrappy Saturday

The new colour for this month is BLUE so I’ve been playing with my blue scraps this past week.   I haven’t managed to sew much but I have caught up with my Building Houses and have finished the neutral and yellow ones I started last week and also made my blue one for this month.  So at least I’m caught up with one project… my Rainbow Scrappy Building Houses  :O)

Anyway here they are:  First up my new blue one

and my completed Neutral and Yellow ones:

 

And here they are altogether so far:

Also, I have a charity shop find to show you.  As it happens it too is blue :)

A plate from The Spode Blue Room Collection  “Georgian Series” called Floral.  This is a reproduction but this design was first introduced in c1830.   I love Blue Spode!! So when I saw it I knew it just had to come home with me :)  At £6 I thought it was a steal.

Finally, I just have to show you a cute picture of Mila.  The bunny which DD found in a cardboard shop outside the shop where she works, just before Christmas.   DD keeps her in her room and she is her bunny.  

She looks like butter wouldn’t melt in her little mouf but she’s a wee rascal.  She has just discovered that she can jump onto DDs bed, even though she is tiny.  She may have been abandoned but she certainly landed on her feet when DD found her and brought her home.

If you’d like to see what everyone else has done for their first Blue Saturday go to Soscrappy’s blog here

 

Have a good weekend,

Happy Stitching!
