If Aristos the chef came across my shopping trolley and found the following ingredients I wonder what he'd make?
How about Carrots glazed in cinnamon and honey served with Smiley Ketchup?
Dessert would be Strawberry icecream
Served with wedges of refreshing watermelon.
Followed by a nice cup of Blue Daisy tea.
Yum!!

While I've sewed these clamshells we've had all sorts of weather.
I think you can tell this one was stiched on a hot summers day.
While I've sewed these clamshells we've had all sorts of weather.
I think you can tell this one was stiched on a hot summers day.
It was always lovely when there was a breeze in the evenings and we could enjoy watching the bunting dance.
Then there were extra windy days, perfect for flying kites,
And those inevitable rainy days. (This clamshell is only half finished, but you get the idea)
Luckily there's a fun umbrella.
I would often stitch away until the moon and stars shone brightly in the sky
And I'd watch for a falling star to put in my pocket.
So which clamshells will I show next? I still haven't shown you the flowers, and I have a few others to share too, so stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Happy as A Clam.
wow Rachael you are amazing with what you come up with,you are so clever,well done my friend.xx
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again! Put a huge smile on my dial! Love them all, kite, stars, bunting and the star you will catch for your pocket. Do you have a collection of old jeans or a good opp shop? Lol. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI remember Aristos! I used to love that show and his amazing creative abilities.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Dee - sitting here with a huge smile on my face.
Can I come to dinner?
ReplyDeleteYour clams are all so gorgeous, the weather ones are brilliant, hurry up and put them all together for us!!Please :):)
You always blow me away with these! The carrot and bunting are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove them all Rachael!
ReplyDeleteI would like a cup of tea,please!
Many hugs from Italy
These blocks are really cute and I am dying to see how you are going to put these together. How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense???????? You are torturing me!
ReplyDeleteOh Rachael, you've done it again !!!! I cant stop looking at your gorgeous blocks. I can't wait to see them all together. L xo
ReplyDeleteCan you please never stop making these?!! Smiley ketchup is so brilliant and I adore rain clouds! All gorgeous!
ReplyDelete"Catch a falling star and put in your pocket, save it for a rainy day!" My dad loved that song! And all these clams are all just so adorable! You have us wanting for more!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed! They are great. Where do you find the time?
ReplyDeleteRachael, these clamshell, and your presentation, are absolutely enchanting! I can't choose a favourite because I adore them all!!! I'm a bit concerned, though, that your standards might be slipping. A single incomplete clamshell? What possessed you, dear girl ;-) ?
ReplyDeleteI can't choose a favourite! I love every single clam shell you have made so far. I remember watching Aristos too - he was so good at making beautiful food with seemingly uninspiring ingredients. I was always so impressed with the shoppers who didn't hesitate to accept Aristos' offer. I think I'd need to dash home and tidy up first!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachael, there are so many clam shells! and they are all so different. Your imagination is boundless it seems. Cant wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteThese are so much fun! I do like the moon and stars. Actually, I like them all!
ReplyDeleteThese clamshells continue to amaze and delight!
ReplyDeleteAre the people in the Blue Mountains locking up their denim trousers or are they happily contributing them to be made into cute & clever blocks & quilts?
ReplyDeleteYou are a ray of sunshine!
You have an amazing amount of these clam shells! I love the teapot best of this bunch. But it's quite clear that you are enjoying every stitch in each of them.
ReplyDeleteWow, these just keep getting better and better. So much fun...can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you have memories of the day and place you stitched each of these. Love your story along with the show.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Rachel! I just LOVE your denim clamshells. Too, TOO cute! I've got a denim clamshell quilt coming up next month, but using a different approach. I'm curious - are these all mini-quilts of sorts, with backings and all? Can't wait to see your finished quilt. :D
