You can never have enough...

morning ladies   Gosh it's still dark.  Was only a few days ago and the sun was beating down this time of the morning.

Dogs are very forgiving, aren't they, Lilith    Cats on the other hand, never forget a slight.

Today I'm going to cut back my iris', they are starting to die back already and are usually the first to be cut back for winter. The compost bin is going to love it.   Both wheelie bins are chokka with garden waste I can't compost and we still have fire restrictions so I can't burn it either.  Luckily the bin man comes tomorrow.  Every afternoon we spot a mouse running along the fence, as long as it is outside that's fine.  Although MrK thinks we should trap it now to prevent it even thinking of coming inside for the winter.  I'll have to buy some peanut butter for the trap first.

Yesterday I embroidered some of the tui's head and his feet.  As he is hanging upside down in the kowhai tree, some of the feathers on his chest are 'fluffed up' so I'm thinking how I can show this using thread.  I might see if any of my embroidery books can help with this one.  The other option is not to be quite so literal and just stitch it.  

The sun's up, I might toodle outside for a bit before we hit the predicted 27 degrees.  Bring on the rain!

Happy crafting
