where?


I'm all over the place at the moment .

Trying to make decisions .
Thinking about new directions.


School still has a week until it goes back so I have
been enjoying spending time with my teenagers .
I have enjoyed it and I'm not joking either !


I managed to finish a new pillowcase made from vintage sheets
with a cotton crochet trim , simple you would think .

I undid and redid the trim at least three times because I
wasn't happy with it .

Sometimes things are ok just the way they are .


How are things with you ?
Are you ok ?
Would you like a rest on my pillow?

You did great. i'm actually doing the same thing. Except I'm a beginner, I just learned how to do it yesterday. I haven't made my pillowcase yet. I'm planning on making a matching quilt and pillowcase set for christmas. I wanted to practice some so I made myself a handkerchief. I've unpicked mine a thousand times. i can't seem to get it to work out the way its supposed to.

Hi,
You are about to go back to school and we have two weeks for the simmer holidays begin.
I am ok if a little worn out. Just to add to that last week I spent two days with two groups canoeing and kayaking!!
My sewing had taken a little bit of a back seat as my sketchbook has taken over more. I can fouc on it easier in the evenings. Pop over and take a look if you have 5 mins.
Love the fabric, I have never been lucky enough to find anything as nice at that vintage wise here at all.
xx
