Wheels turning
Lunch was cancelled yesterday : ( due to lurgyness of friend : ((. So instead I went to Patchwork on Central and used their design wall to lay out my quilt (with thanks for the advice of the lovely ladies who were sewing there and Lynn). Then I sewed it up, the girls...
Zoom
Wow, that week went by FAST. I don't even remember what happened except for weird changeable weather and lots of working. Oh and I bought a new bike. To replace my old, never very comfortable bike with the cunning plan of actually going for the odd ride because it's...
What I did on the weekend.
Mostly this: I like it. And I learned stuff from it, which is good. It's s ice and summery for napping. Though I'm thinking a darker border might be good to give some space around all that pattern. Will have to wait until I get a chance to take it into a fabric store...

Saturday

Slogging
Sometimes everything feels like hard work. Revising. The day job. Exercising. Keeping all the balls in the air. Sometimes the only thing to do is keep your head down and keep slogging and try and remember that at some point it will feel easier again. One damn foot in...
Maybe not completely broken
Apparently my machine still works and I can still sew. This is not perfect and the cutting is mostly to blame but hey, I think it would make a nice cushion front or something.....or I could do it again and have a back... The colours are prettier in real life...the...
