from Peg

“Let’s Stitch Together”…… swap theme… - A Cushion……..last night after work there in full sight as I walked in on the kitchen table was a box..... a pressie just for me  and when  I saw the postage stamp township  My heart did a little skip  as I know a very talented lady who's blog

I love looking at comes from that town......

Yippee I was so right none other than the wonderful and artistic Peg and just look what was inside a extraordinary stitched stitching cushion and thread catcher attached to the cushion and a magnet on the thread catcher so I can  always find my scissors and plenty of space to stick pins/needles all those sharp things,…together a few other

bits and pieces.…

……

 

A big  thank you and hug to Peg

a little birdie

Last night while watching a DVD ..... The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo .... started this little stitchery
and finished a couple of items that just needed that little bit of finishing. (show and tell later)

 

ENJOY YOUR FRIDAY

 

 

 

 

Take Care  cheers MARC

 

thursday ( already)

 

Can you believe it?   Thursday already where does the days and time go..... Last week I took a couple of secret squirrel projects   to work as a couple of work colleagues ask to have a look..... Which lead to last Saturday having a day together as both ladies had an aspiration to make library bags based on one of the items I had make for????? In my upcoming Christmas in July Swap. 

So this is my sample I make for a library bag with handles and a draw string

 

never ceases to amaze me how my camera works

look at the difference light can make

cheers marc

 

Big RED

DH has been very busy.... I really mean busy..... Finally after three years (since we moved in) not three years of laying pavers.... DH has finished.  So proud of him, subsequently we had a late lunch out together at a local hotel...... then on the way home I had a BRIGHT idea of getting some pots, plants and potting mix to put in the backyard.  So that where the title comes from as the plants are called Big Red. Once we arrived home we decided to put it altogether therefore in was just on dark by the time we finished being potty.

Now off to have a nice hot shower, make a cuppa as I am still feeling full from the large /late lunch. Sit down do some hand stitching and watch House Rules and the premiere of The Americans with DH.

 



 

Cheers Marc

The misplaced SIM has been found, so quickly before dashing out the door this morning, took a photo of my purchases from  the weekend trip to Adelaide and a quick visit to Hettie’s

I just heard these scissors whispering .......buy me ......buy me.... into my ears

Cheers marc

Scatterbrain...... I took my trusty little camera out on Friday morning before heading off to work and snapped away.... photos of items finished for two secret  squirrel projects.... then all wrapped up more photos to share with my fellow bloggers then of course once the parcels have arrived I will share what items where enclosed ..... Then off to work, quick break during the day a nice walk to the post office, where next week two lovely ladies will get a good-looking parcel.   Now Saturday a trip to Adelaide to catch up with the grandees, and off course a trip to Hettie’s..... Purchased a  nice pair of scissors and a few pieces of fabric , will take photos on Sunday bit tired Saturday night after getting home from Adelaide,  up early this morning went to a auction this morning, but came home empty handed, well what else to do so a few hours playing the domestic queen and helped DH  with a bit of paving outside..... Then while the Sunday evening roast was cooking... potted around in the sewing room.....   Well evening meal dishes etc over and done...... now some photos of my purchases from Hetties, now I will sit down and do a blog!!!!!!!!!!!! Just dandy sorry ladies no photos ,  no show and tell zip,nothing the dam SIM card was not in the !!!!!! Camera and I cannot find the cord to down load to the computer so once again zip, naught, nothing so hopefully the recipients of the parcel might have a show and tell and I will find the SIM card and take photos of my purchases from Hettie’s later for show and tell..... Now off to do some stitching and watch a couple of episodes of Game of Thrones ...... tally ho     cheers Marc

 

Wednesday

As I am presently working on some secret

squirrel items, so no show and tell.

 

May you have …
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
And enough hope to make you happy.

 

  

Cheers Marc
