In the Star of Africa Bee we are representing our country in making blocks for our bee friends across the world. You may have seen Nessie, a Highand bull and Scottie dog representing Scotland on my behalf.
But these are the blocks I've received so far having asked for favourite children's books, myths, legends etc! I am overwhelmed with joy to receive these beautifully designed and crafted pieces of work!
I am going to make a bookshelf wallhanging when they all arrive to hang in my sewing room and remind me of these creative friends!
We have all fallen a bit behind in our schedules but it takes time to consider how you can represent your country in the guidelines given by the Queen Bee and more time to implement it! I know I have been challenged!
But I think the results are well worth the wait!
those are amazing! What a great idea for a bee :-)
