As for sewing, sadly to go along with my chesty cough I now have two ear infections; viral so there is no treatment. I am dizzy so I haven't been doing much. I spent the weekend puddling along on my bears cross-stitch. I can see a difference and I now have high hopes that this is the year it will be finished (it is only ten years old so there is no hurry really!). Karen on Ozstitcher had a great idea to mount cross-stitches like a quilt, so I am thinking of doing something like that. The possibilities are endless, and the framer I have used in the past has closed down so this may be the answer. (thanks for the idea Karen!!!!)
My blue tablecloth is also pretty much finished but I have been sitting contemplating the options about doing a little row of flowers down either end, and maybe sewing some leaves weaving through the circle of flowers. Poor hubby can't work out why i dont just leave it as it; it is certainly presentable enough. Why give yourself more work? What he is losing sight of is his bank balance; while I am playing with this I am not buying more stuff!!LOL!!! So this is what it looks like today... (excuse the colour; the sun is out and i couldn't get a good photo)
And look; a photo after all! So I will add to it and show you the deck in it's sad state:
Enjoy the sun if it is out wherever you are. Today is going to be a lovely Autumn day.
Thanks for the credit Karyn :) I hope the ear infections improve too. The joys of decking - but it will be great when it's done :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, credit where credit is due!! And is really was a great idea I thought.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are unwell Karyn, and sorry I hadn't seen this earlier, but for some reason Blogger wasn't keeping me informed!!!! I suppose by now the deck is almost done, and the snags are on the BBQ - hmmm, I can almost smell them!!! I like the embroidery on the blue check, and I'm sure you'll fiddle a little more until you are satisfied with it. Take care.
