Mosaics

We have a few mosaics around our place, here are some of them as my treasure today.  The 52 is at our front door, the mirror is in our bathroom and the kowhai flower is in our garden marking the spot where our first cat is buried.  We have some others I will show another time and I have been told we will get some more when the time is right.  You see, my husband Paul is the creator of our mosaics and, of course, he is my real treasure.  I love the fact that he taught himself to make mosaics and he designed the mirror too.  Paul is my treasure for many other reasons, he's my best friend, he's incredibly supportive of me, he's funny, he's always the same (don't you love people who wake up happy!), and I love him to bits!  I'm linking to Melody's for Tuesday's Treasures.
I feel like my sewing is still going slow, I think because winter sport has made us busier, but I have made progress with Charlie's quilt.  On Sunday I pieced the appliqué blocks together and finished one row of the squares.  I have another row of squares to do and then I can start on the two borders which have ten more appliqued flowers, whew!!  Wendy xx
