Non-Walking Foot

A week ago my walking foot decided to stop walking. Today I was planning to take it apart to see if I can fix it, but that didn't happen because I was called in to do some extra time at work.

So it will have to wait for another day. Actually now I see the poor thing blown up to that size, I can see that maybe it needs a good clean while I'm at it!

This is the Tree

This is an open flower on the mystery tree:

Isn't it beautiful?  The flower is about 5cm across, and the tree is covered in them.  Here's a taste:

Have you seen one of these?  It is a quince, Cydonia oblonga.

I love it when it's in flower, and jelly made from the fruit has the most marvellous flavour.

Grevillea Groundcover

Grevillea Gaudichaudii flower about to pop open.

Pink Bluebells

My bluebells are really a little more pink than they appear here.

I'm pretty sure these are Spanish Bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica).

What Tree? Update

A month ago I posted a picture of some fuzzy little buds and posed the question, "What tree is this?"

Here's that tree today. The fuzzy buds have turned into fuzzy leaves, and flower buds are everywhere. Some flowers are open, but I'll wait a while to show you one.

"Blog-Finished"

Someone once coined the term "blog-finished" for stuff that isn't really finished, but looks like it is in a photo, so you can blog it.

I still have to crimp the frame, but otherwise the purse is done.

I joined a couple of pieces of fabric to make the handle and I was pretty happy with how well I matched the pattern.  No-one will ever notice it.

Jasmine

Another flower whose perfume I love.
