What a lovely individual gift for your sister such a pretty fairy!<br />I white frames look great and do not distract you from the lovely work.<br />Your cardi looks great cosy and comfy. It fits well and has a nice swing to it. Wow I to think I got excited about finding a slow worm in the garden. He's a cheeky fella Mr skink....my daughter would burst with excitement if she found something like him in our garden!

I'm glad you love the cardigan - I wanted you to see the real shape of it as you had seemed so impressed with it and I'm glad you weren't disappointed.<br />I'm not surprised that you don't care too much for the skink - I'm not very keen on them myself and could live quite well without their presence in my life Ha Ha!!! Not that we see them very often these days.<br />I expect you have been busy with your gorgeous little makes and I'm looking forward to your next lovely post!<br />Joy xoJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753693250341975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320499512848987532.post-85447263237563215782013-09-16T20:10:21.408+08:002013-09-16T20:10:21.408+08:00Hi Joy!

Bunnies and mice are just meant to be dressed up in pretty old fashioned outfits, aren't they?! ... The fairy you stitched for your sister's birthday is also adorable. She'll love that beautiful gift I'm sure, as will whoever receives your beautiful framed butterfly pieces. And yes, the white frames do work wonderfully!... I LOVE how you look in that lovely sweater you knitted up. It fits you perfectly in size and in style too. By that I mean, it's got such a sweet look to it, and that's how you are all the time, so lovely and sweet! ...<br />You know I'm fascinated by all your Australian critters, but this guy hasn't sent my heart fluttering like your blue birds and naughty parrots do. He's very interesting, but unlike your pretty birdies, I'm glad no King's Skinks are lurking about in my backyard! ;) You took some great pictures though! xo Paulette <br />Beedeebabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245249753637268186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320499512848987532.post-48131235203093185162013-09-15T18:05:58.416+08:002013-09-15T18:05:58.416+08:00Hello Joy and happy Sunday to you!

I love all of the embroidery you did. Your cardigan is lovely too and it looks great on you. I have a duster like that for dusting furniture and I love it. It works great. Just remember not to use any fabric softener or dryer sheets with it because it will make it stop grabbing the dust!

The pictures look just perfect and although the frames are really lovely, it is the actual content which makes them wonderful - your work Joy. I do love your cardigan and what a glamorous lady you are - the cardigan really suits you in every way - colour, style and cut. Thanks for the info on the duster, I have the same problem myself with blinds and it drives me mad so will certainly be looking for one of these. Joy your blog is a 'joy' to read, always has plenty to keep everyone interested and your lovely personality just shines through every word.
