Sewing Box Finished

For Christmas Tom brought me the @dandeliondesigns sewing box kit.  Love Mandy Shaw so enthusiastic and passionate about her sewing.  On my week off I got to spend a hot lazy sunny Saturday in the hut with my sewing machine, pure heaven and such a luxury.  Which mean't....

Ta Dah  all finished.  Surprising the amount of hand sewing required  but loving it and it's currently filled to over flowing!   Must crack on with more projects......

Catching up!

It's really easy to fall behind on this.  Either not enough time or just simply too tired!

I've done another Colemans Workshop.  I think was Somerset Patch?

Here's my almost finished sample.....

Just need to find out how to finish it off and then make it into a pretty cushion cover.

I've actually had a week off work recently too.  Good to get some RnR. Spent time getting plants for the garden as this year we can do lots of soft planting now the hut is finished.

So excited to see summer bedding plants , can't wait to see them all out in full bloom in the Summer.

Coleman's Workshop

Dutch Treat

My 7th workshop, Dutch Treat,I enjoyed making this and planning to make another.

Bit of a Catch up

Tom has been busy re vamping the stairs. I suggested we should freshen them up and paint them white.  Best decision makes the stairs feel wide and light and airy.

Met my nieces and great niece for Lunch this week.  Amy was 30 but this little girl stole the show! 

Sewing Sunday

Despite being told my Cholesterol is high, earlier in the week and embarking on a #getactive for 100 days ie brisk 25 minute walk round the block (I managed 3 days).  I've been pooped over the last 2 days so after Church today I didn't want to do much at all so back to sitting on my bottom and sewing again!!!

To be fair I'd already done some prep work at sewing class on Tuesday but I have finished 4 more stars.

Coleman's Workshop

Thursday I went to my 6th workshop with Trish Ablett at Colemans.  I met up with my Mum there before the class started.

We made a block called Jack and Jill. I hadn't quite finished it so joined it together today.

Happy Easter!

A little late perhaps but after Church yesterday I sat and relaxed too much!

Not a brilliant photo, but sadly the light in Church on Saturday morning was dim, much like the rest of the weekend.  Starting to think the wettest Easter weekend that I can remember.  Disappointed the tulips had started to droop by yesterday morning, hopefully not many noticed.

Still my Easter Tree at home is looking a bit brighter.

A splash of colour on a grey day.

Another project finished......

My Button-it ( http://www.customlaser.co.uk/3D_projects.html) Curio cabinet is finished. I struggled to find something for the table idea so I used a wooden cotton spool and added some wide ribbon, it works for me. Happy to have it on display, might add a little bit more but for now it's absolutely fine.
