Little itty bitty details

I know the stitches hardly show up, but I can see the darker thread on on the light half inch hexagons. So a new method had to be found.

So on this side I added the cream to the red with red thread  and then stitched the cream to cream afterwards with matching thread. I fully realise this is starting to become obsessive but why do it wrong when I can do it right? The unpicker is there for scale, I am not so obsessive to undo those already finished....

This is as far as I have got. I shall move over to doing the Di Ford Mystery quilt again... this one isn't going to go off the boil, I shall just leave it to simmer a while. I don't have a pattern, it is evolving. Lying in bed last night, I was wondering about making this the centre for a medallion quilt. Maybe...

On my bird feeding stations I have been lucky enough to be visited by woodpeckers. Sometimes there are four of them at a time. It is difficult to get photos as they dart about from one side of the feeder to the other and my camera just isn't fast enough.

Peonies are for sale in the supermarkets. They are glorious and make a good substitution until my plants grow big enough to flower in the garden.

Some things in the garden are coming out well, but others have been slow. We have warm days followed by quite chilly weather.
