Before Christmas I won an auction here in nz (called trademe). I bought some hexie flowers .They are quite old, vintage almost looking. The colours are rather ugly . They had a yucky pink centre on everyone and some of the surrounds were that pink too. There was 13 of them and after studying them I have decided to pull the outer circle undone and make them into a separate flower. I think I will put a cream or white or maybe another colour around the flowers because they are 'ugly' how they are and by doing that i should end up with 26 more hexy flowers and should be able to blend them with others...hopefully. They look ok as just a flower without the colour around them. Well that is the plan, but I'm not in any hurry so it will be a slow'work in progress' as I need to find more fabrics that go together. I have already nearly finished rejoining them into flowers. I think I will change the centres to something else I need to audition some colours yet ...anything but pink will look better!
In my mum's garden she had grown some of these 'maori potatoes' they are tasty but look a bit weird .
My little chicks are growing day by day . I must take some more pics of them. It was so hot here today ,not a cloud in the sky...but now it is quite overcast looking but i don't think it will rain. I'm off to bed now.
Your flowers are going to be so pretty when you're done with them. Those are strange looking potatoes! My neighbor grows purple beans in her garden.
