Meanwhile in Australia,
Happy Summer Solstice! 🔆

The sun is said to “stand still” for three days at the Solstice
(from the Latin ‘sol’ for ‘sun’ and ‘sisto’ for ‘stop’).

In fact, #Sydney will have daylight for 14 hrs 22 mins every day for this entire week.

Crafty update: I’m working on the vivid yellow outlines of the spray of wattle over the blossom babies. There is one more blossom baby to do, but I’m saving it for after the less exciting flowery bits.

Cross stitch update: I’ve finished the first two wattle babies and am now working on some leaves. Next, I’ll add in a little beetle. 🪲

Wattle babies are taking shape, might finish them before I move to another section of the pattern.

Edit: forgot bloomin’ #Hashtags again

I did it! I started the cross stitch! I’ve finished two short rows of yellow for the wattle. Thank you everyone for the help and encouragement yesterday. I absolutely love May Gibbs art, this should keep me busy a while.
