<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This was from our sunroom yesterday morning at 7.30 am but no sun coming to us today as we experience terrifying fires all around us! We have to mask up before walking outside as the sooty air and ash is so thick but we have our lives and we are safe for now but devastated by the unimaginable loss of precious life and properties as we learn of places and people who have lost everything! I think this must be the biggest natural disaster Australia has seen and we can’t see an end to it yet! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Dear friends such a transformed sky this morning
from red to white (just the smoke we are living with now) and almost
feel guilty having the privilege even being able to look out of a window where others no longer can! All your prayers have brought us a little rain even over night to help in quelling these horrendous fires! The second image shows the land still burning on the skyline as the firies are still trying to drive it away from the coastal town of Merimbula and inland Bega areas where we live!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We have been spared for now but we still cannot rest until we get some heavy rains!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">I’m feeling so 💔💔💔for the indescribable losses to our people, animals and land!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We can’t thank our firies enough for the absolutely incredible job in trying to keep everyone safe! They are our heroes! It’s about saving lives!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Thank you soo much for all of your loving support through these treacherous days!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We made it this far!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">In a week or so the heat will be back with the increased threat to nature life and loved ones but let’s hope it is nothing like the blow torch we need to upon our ignorant politicians and our poor ignorant climate disruption deniers!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Let’s hope love and science walk hand in hand to find a solution!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">🙏🙏🙏❤️</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"> I do apologise for the poor quality of these images</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">but </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">they were taken directly from my iphone</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">but I think they convey to some extent</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">the severity of our situation.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">Textiles have always been a very big part of my creative life </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">ever since I first began quilting and patchwork</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">some 40 years ago!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I have gathered quite a collection of</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">amazing fabrics and embellishments</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">over the years!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">So recently I stepped back from my usual creativity</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">where I create more with mixed media</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;"> and </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">delved into my stash to complete some</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">projects using these and</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: large;">some crazy quilting techniques!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">That beautiful rose image was created by saving</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">the actual rose from the dye bath which</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">had been flattened in the plant press.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">The wet result was still so beautiful that I decided</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">to photograph it and print it out onto handmade paper</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">so this then became the focal point of the</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">artwork!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">It was a rare opportunity which I took advantage of!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Now we all know that we need angels </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">in our lives to lift us up</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">and </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">give us our wings to fly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">They are always around us guiding us and showing us the way!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Very often we just don't stop to think how our lives</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">would feel and could change if we lost <b>everything </b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">we owned in a matter of just 2-3 hours!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">This has been the case of so many families,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">in fact 69 homes within 30 k of where I live, </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">over the weekend when a horrendous bush fire</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">in searing heat and high winds</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">erased the possessions of these poor poor people!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">As Summer is closing here on the far south coast of Australia</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">(akin to say perhaps Southern California in the U.S.) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">there was one last day of very high temperatures</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">threatening to ravage so much native bushland</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">and many homes so close to the beach!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Thank goodness many of these people were able to flee</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">to the beach to escape and, in all of this,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">not one one life was lost!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">A fire also broke out </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"> in native bush land no more than</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">1/2 kilometre away from where we also live </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">but</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">thankfully the Rural Fire Service</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">managed to contain it as we were preparing our</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">escape plan!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">With global warming I genuinely fear this scenario</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">will be one we will be witnessing more of</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">in the future!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">We can never become too complacent with what nature</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">dishes out!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"> If you look closely you may be able to see</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">a group of 3 rare Spoonbills</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">in the middle on the edge of the wetland! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">So just to give you a bit of info about these birds you may wish</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">to read this little description:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;">Similar in build to a grey heron though slightly smaller, the
spoonbill’s plumage is completely white except in the breeding season
when adults show a small patch of yellowish feathers on their chest. In
the summer mature birds also have a rather fetching, shaggy crest at
the back of their head. But by far their most noticeable feature is the
one for which they are named – that enormous, spatula-like bill.
Spoonbills generally feed in flocks, swinging their heads from side to
side through shallow pools of water. This is where the remarkable bill
comes into its own: held slightly open it is packed full of sensors that
detect minute vibrations and, once located, unlucky beetles,
crustaceans, worms, small fish – even tadpoles and frogs – stand no
chance of escape.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">Apparently they spend much of their time sleeping</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">a pillow sham and I think that the</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">covered pillow in a coloured cover</span></span><br />
