Last Thursday I sacrificed my weekly 'stitch and chat' at my favourite little quilt shop. After conferences and busy stuff, I needed some ME time. I informed the MOML that I was hibernating in my 'cave' (as he calls it) and he was to pretend I had actually gone out after all. I did make him a cup of tea at lunchtime, but had a peaceful day, mostly tidying and sorting.
Before and after shots of one corner....
Very satisfying (you can see why I needed all day.. imagine 4 corners like that!!)
In amongst the tidying I did finish this little pincushion.
Can you see the doily its sitting on? Its Irish Crochet, from memory, I just love the layered flowers. I actually made it when I was 17 so I must have been a Clever Miss back then, couldn't do it now!!
We've had a weekend of 'out to tea' 'out to lunch' for various celebrations (translate that into 'Ate Too Much"!). Then on Sunday night the girls cooked tea.
This morning we woke up to some flooding. We had to swim/wade to one mob of stock to get them to swim to dry land.
So that's me all caught up on the latest news.
Happy stitching everyone :-) , have a great day.
Hello Raewyn,
ReplyDeleteJust checking you out. Was it your birthday on the 4th too. My sewing room is looking like yours also - trying hard to tidy it up. My daughter no2 points out that the whole house is one giant sewing room as it migrates everywhere.
Look forward to getting to know you.
