This week i've been asked "mum can you sew my work trousers the stitching ripped" and
"mum can you sew my work jumper its got a hole in it somehow"
Then there was a visit from my mum who brought this hedgehog. It was a gift from a friend a long time ago and she had washed the dress and it had disintegrated (it's a toilet roll cover apparently - don't ask!) the blue/yellow one is the rotten one, the navy blue one is the replacement one i made today. Then there was the comment from DH "will you be making the new curtains for the newly decorated hallway/stairs window this weekend" When the sewing machine was out today for 'Hetty Hedgehog' i carried on and made the curtains too, so what was going to be a nice restful weekend with lots of stitching didn't happen yet LOL
But .. i did get to stitch on the LHN last night, week 3 and i now have a lady ... roll on next week, this is such a nice project to stitch.Tomorrow is the reveal of the JA monthly challenge piece, i'm looking forward to seeing everyones piece this month and showing what i made with mine. Of course it will be the poll then for next month...
Hetty looks better dressed, I really think you should make yourselfd one LOL

Wow you could start a new fashion in toilet accessories - oooh I do think I'm funny.
ReplyDeleteThe lady under the "lamp post" is lovely (looks more like an elongated LP than a bent twig now)lol. Ok I will crawl back under my stone now.
