The embroidered bird table runner is finally finished
I am really pleased with how it has turned out
What now though?
For the first time ever I don't have my next project planned
I am really enjoying embroidery at the moment the only problem a lot of it is not quite my style
Our neighbours Ricardo and Emma get married in 3 weeks
They are a young couple who have filled their home with vintage finds
Wanted to give a wee suitable gift
I found the candle tea cup sets on the well known auction site
Put them together with vintage napkins I had squirrelled away for pressies as and when needed
I did buy three so one is now sitting looking so cute on my sewing box table
No real surprise there, they are green
Scotland got the wooden spoon
But our roar can still make aliens wear earplugs
Our girl was at the match and requested a headband
I was happy to oblige
Bought this fabric at the same time as fabric for the chair in the previous post
I totally love it
I eventually finished the embroidery part of the table runner at the weekend. Washed it on Monday and was looking forward to chopping up the material for the patchwork part. Went to retrieve the embroidery to iron it. Couldn't find it....... Searched everywhere.... Walby joined me as we looked in every drawer and cupboard even checked inside the fridge!!!!! Off I went to my wee room and my eyes were starting to leak water. I was so upset couldn't think what I had done with it. At the suggestion of Walby I relived my day.... shower, dressed, post office, coffee at Margaret's admiring her garden, Morrisons, tidy around then off to pick kids up...... Ah the tidy part also involved multi tasking as we women do laying ironing away and putting rubbish in bin ready for pick up today. A dash out to the bin and there it was. How lucky was that. So it is now in my wee room re-washed Ironed and all ready to be put together.
Bought the chair for £10
Off to watch an Avengers movie and do a bit embroidery
Perfect Mothers Day
The boy had a trial with the same music teacher that the girlie does her drums with
He got on great listened well and paid attention to everything that Paul said
At the end of the lesson he thought the wee guy had done really well but was concerned about his arm reach and the size of his hands. He suggested going back in a few months but in the meantime consider getting him a guitar he could use just to get used to.
We got him this
He loves it
Now I have always been quite a determined character can't say it's an asset it got me into a few scrapes along the way but also got out of a few too. When we were designing the kitchen nearly 4 years ago now I had the vision of open shelves above the sink area. Every kitchen company we spoke to thought I was mad they all thought the more cupboards the better. I gave in and this was the result.
As time has went by I have always thought should have done what I wanted.
Thinking logically I decided to try adapt the units that are already in place rather than
facing re plastering the wall.
Off to IKEA purchase a few baskets and this is the result.
This girl is one of the best things in my life
Homework this week was to design a poster, flag etc on the digestive system
She used one of her dads t-shirts
Isn't it brill
She visited yesterday for tea with her brother
She had been in town in the morning and bought me the red carnations off of her pocket money
I held it together but get a bit happy teary when I look at them.
I couldn't love her anymore
On a wee personal note it's a bit of a red letter day.
I have officially been released from the routine of GP's check ups,
just to visit as and when I need to.
It's been a long year but woo hoo I've made it.
