A couple of close up shots of the fascinating detail of my little girls hands. I could look at them all day!
I don't have much time for photography at the moment other than family pictures and I don't want to flood the internet with baby pictures but I was quite pleased with these detail shots.
Looks as if I took quite a few photos of daisies back in 2012! Well, they are beautiful! :-)
These two look as if they are dancing!
Super tiny painting!

It's part of a (slightly) bigger piece.
Smaller IRL than in the photo. :)
Best viewed large.
Tiny masked bee, as yet unidentified. There were dozens of these little bees visiting a ground covering, wild-growing Grevillea laurifolia. I was enraptured watching them, but they were tiny and quick and didn't stay still for long. Males were courting females and it was chaos! I only managed a few half-decent shots of these elusive and skittish little bees. My best guess is Hylaeus (Pseudhylaeus) albocuneatus but I am far from certain of that and open to any I.D. suggestions! [Gardens of Stone, Australia]
Tiny handsewn wool felt Red Fox made as my January Craft Book Challenge project. I used the Mimi the Cat pattern from Palm-Size Softies by Hitomi Takahashi, Mikiko Matsui and Akemi Tsubo. Blogged about at TinyApartmentCrafts

These little houses are from the above link. I had fun making these. They have a row of flowers around the otherside of them not visible here.
St Michael at Plea, Norwich, Norfolk
In the densest part of the packing of Norwich city centre's tiny parishes sits the most elegant and beautiful topping out of any Norwich tower, but what a squat little tower it sits upon! It is as if the church is shrugging its shoulders. In fact, the battlements and spirelets date from a 19th century restoration, and the tower had been lowered for safety reasons below the bell stage at some time before that. The clock, which reminds us to Forget Me Not, is dated 1827, which is too early for the spirelets, and in any case a lithograph from a year or so later shows the truncated tower with a cupola. Probably, the lowering was a quick-fix 18th century solution that the later Victorians tried to make good.
St Michael sits beside a busy road about fifty yards from St Andrew, and not much further from St Peter Hungate and St George Tombland, so it is no surprise that it is redundant. However, it is more than mere ornament now, as we shall see.
The porch is a stone addition to a flint nave and chancel. If the nave windows are anything like the original, then we may assume this porch to be quite late, possibly early 16th century (ignore the niches, and pretty much the whole top stage altogether - they are a Victorian affectation). St George and St Michael fight dragons in the spandrels. Curiously, the porch lets into the base of the tower rather than into the nave, possibly because it lined up with Bank Plain before the current street pattern was put in place in the early 20th century - before that, there was no road to the west of the tower, and Bank Plain curved round into Queen Street.
The 15th Century screen from St Michael is now in the cathedral, but there are a few late medieval survivals in the form of four figures in glass set high in the lights of the east window. These include a beautiful crowned Blessed Virgin from a Coronation of the Queen of Heaven scene, and two composite figures, one with the feathered body of an angel. A 17th century font cover sits on a somewhat understated 15th century font. On the west wall of the nave either side of the tower arch are 18th century paintings of Moses and Aaron which once flanked the Ten Commandments in the east end of the chancel. Overhead, angels in flight line the apex of the restored roof.
Perhaps the most memorable internal feature is the early 17th century memorial at the north-west corner to Jacques de Hem. It consists of two stone blocks put together at an angle, and all the features incised and then coloured in black, as if this was a brass: de Hem and his family kneel piously in the bottom right hand panel, while above there are a spade, a skull, crossed bones and a pick as a useful reminder to us of our own mortality.
The chancel has been converted into a pleasant cafe. For a long time the nave was an antiques market, and it included a cracking second hand book stall, but today these are long gone, and in their place about twenty years ago came a rather serious Christian bookshop. Very worthy no doubt, but I do miss the old days.
One of only few flower shot I took today.
I shot this on a bright outdoors today and metered the exposure on the flower with green pole behind it. As it turned out the background was very dark naturally and further adjustment of contrast/brighness helped isolate the flower.

Made two more paper pieced hexies today. I think the Polaroid block is a favorite but happy with the cherries as well. I adore making tiny blocks!! 💕✂️😄 #hexielove #epp
I was amazed at how tiny this headstone was. It wasn't for a child, just a small marker for a final resting place lost in the grass.
Pure Neemo have wonderful hands, lovely shaped with very tiny nails.
The toothpick can help to understand how small they are :)
