Sunshine!
Blue skies, fields of long grass and buttercups, welcome breezes...its been a beautiful May.
Despite the lure of the outdoors I have managed to make some new brooches.
Tomato red fell into my hands and seemed appropriate with the felt I'd made.
Radial designs must have reflected my inner sun.
Some pictures to remind me of what may have been summer!
I treated myself to three new auriculas and I wasn't disappointed. This was the last to flower: Butterwick.
Gorgeous.
Proof! This was at 6pm. I haven't seen temperatures like this in my garden for a long time.
Also in my garden..ducks.
Followed closely by........a slightly timid schnauzer.
If only she'd been as reticent when she was by my friends beehives...ouch. And a double ouch when we paid the vets bill!
More brooches.
And little trumpeteers of summer to come.
Happy Jubilee!

Lovely colours in your brooches! and how wonderful are those baby birds :-)
Oh Hetty, I hope you are feeling better after your encounter.
A lovely post Jackie, love that Auricula!
Such a lovely post. Beautiful brooches again - love all the colours. Fabulous butterfly shot and I love the auricula too.
Your garden is beautiful - you'll have been glad of that shady area and I'm sorry Hetty had to find out about bees the hard way! Love the little trumpeters - perhaps they are heralding the Jubilee.
I love your circular brooches. Poor Hetty, I hope she's ok now.
We are back to grey skies and rain today - are you? Wasn't the weather glorious for around 10 days? As always, I love your work - especially those red leaves. Beautiful. x
Fabulous colour combos! Great to see the baby birds too... nests here are too high up for me to peep, luckily for them.
Perfect combo of sunshine and creativity; obviously good for beautiful art; your brooches are fabulous!!!
Sucha fun and delightful post!! Love the brooches- but then you know that!! your puppy is quite the character, they are never hesitant when they should be!!!! Hugs!
These brooches make me smile, such happy pieces - and the thought that it is indeed summer Somewhere is also cherring. -sus
Beautiful brooches. The red is so vibrant. Hetty looks so cute following the ducks - at least they don't sting!
YES it has been a great May month (for us here in a double way ;-) !!!!!)
Stunning work, I just adore your leaves and flowers. Someone looks hungry there :-)

Those first ones are long grass and splashes of wild red poppies for sure! Everything you make is lovely, and so is Hetty.

A wonderful mix of images. The flower had me look twice to make sure it was real.
