"Well, I am fairly busy in March and April," I said back in February "We are putting in a new kitchen and doing it ourselves" But I clearly didn't say it loudly enough. And I hate to let people down. So there were funeral flowers on the coffee table over the weekend, waiting to go to church on Sunday. Then four different sewing projects on the dining table [in plastic bags to avoid the dust!], all with deadlines in April/May. I have been diligently working on these items for my friends, and 3 out of four have been completed and delivered. The fourth will get done in time, I am determined. However, next Saturday we are away all day for another couple's "Milestone Birthday" Event.
Here's a Teaser Picture for you - my resource materials for some of the work...
No, I am not making any dolls. I cannot reveal any pictures of completed work just yet. Sewing is my Happy De-stressing Activity. I admit to ignoring all the above tasks on Thursday evening, and working on the April CoverStory stitching. Truly a balm for my soul.
'Balm for my soul'? Sometimes! I did a nice bit of stitching on Easter afternoon, eyed it up while deciding what to add to it, and realised it was in the wrong place... So a lesson in patience and cheerful acceptance as well as balm!

ReplyDeleteI saw a brilliant t-shirt the other day. It was emblazoned with a sewing room and the words “as ye sew, so shall ye rip”.
DeleteOh that is excellent!
DeleteSewing and crafting are my happy activity and I always try to have a little piece of something to work on. Now that my eyes are recovered, I have some bigger sewing planned for charity. Catriona
ReplyDeleteSo glad you can see properly again - and pleased you are back to crafting
DeleteWell, they do say that if you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. :)

DeleteOoh, are you perhaps making some little outfits for a doll? I used to love making clothes for the few dolls that I had growing up. In fact I used to like dressing them more than I liked the dolls.
ReplyDeleteLIttle outfits - but not for dolls
DeleteThe mice in the museum are getting a wardrobe update????? Take care of yourself Ang, don't work too hard, we need you in good health! Xx
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right Kezzie. The museum.reopens for the summer on Friday week, and there is a new mouse trail. But I cannot reveal their new outfits till then..
DeleteKnew it!!! Can't wait for the Catwalk collection!
DeleteNext week...
DeleteI sense that each stage of the kitchen is being marked by a significant event, some sad, some joyful. Do you think one day in the future you will find yourself looking at a counter or a cupboard and remembering this time?
ReplyDeleteI expect so!
