Well, the weather hasn't be great for the bank holiday weekend today, but it has been prefect for being indoors crafting and ticking off things I ought to get done
I had a whole pile of things to get stuck in to on the table...
A duvet to be mended for one of my twin nephews, (more) owls to make, oven gloves to sew and cushion covers to cover some of the many free pads I got from freecycle
My mum popped round in the middle of the day to pick up the duvet and stayed and sewed the braid back on a cushion for my sister while I stabbed at an owl-to-be
Since it was a rather chilly day I needed to keep my toes toasty. Remember I made a hat for Sharon? She made me some stunning rainbow socks, so now my feet are cosy warm and very happy :)
I am now putting my (snug & smug) feet up with a cup of tea and movie and yes, I am still stabbing away at the old felt owls!
Happy bank holiday everyone!

By the end of the afternoon I had been pretty successful:

I see Ercol chairs? Kerrrchingg!
ReplyDeleteThe Ercol chairs AND table were inherited from my sister's mother in law - my mum covets my table and I am concerned that one day I shall come home to find it gone... she has keys to my flat: allegedly for emergencies!
ReplyDeleteDidn't notice the table but, yes now I see it.
ReplyDeleteIf I got that lot out I'd never put it away again. You amaze me with your crafting talents. Once my kitchen's done and I have a table out there, I might actually learn to use my sewing machine. Lol.
ReplyDeleteRichard, I've just been and looked at those ptos again - how on earth did you spot the chairs are Ercol? You are clearly a connoisseur sir!
ReplyDeleteSharon, it's mostly still all over the table! The sewing machine gets packed away only if I am expecting visitors who need feeding!
You have been busy and I love those socks.
ReplyDeleteI'm also in love with your Barbie apron in a previous post :o)

B, I'm glad you like my apron - I had such fun the day I found the curtains to make it from with mum and fun making it too. Still got another curtain so I'll be making another one as soon as I get some more blue tape
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to have rain! I love the rainbow socks - and thank you for joining in my giveaway!
