Spent the evening yesterday seeking out pinterest pictures to use for my applique, printed them off and cut them out, then laminated them. Spent my break cutting them out to use as templates. Seemed like a lot of work at the time but if I am going to be making any more than one of each then will be worthwhile. Slotted them into poly pockets to keep them together.
Monday
The day I take Bob to gymnastics, normally sit in the library but is now light enough to be going walks up the country estate again. So Lilly hubby and I had a pleasant walk. The Spring flowers are coming along nicely.
Another walk. Spotted masses of frog spawn in the flooded part of the field.Sadly the water had receded round these ones but there were more than enough in the water that the frog population in the area will not miss them.
Wednesday
Doing holiday cover this week. Will be grateful for it come payday but wanted to play with my sewing. Love the display of crocuses that come up every year.
Thursday
Going to be making up a few samples so people can choose what they fancy. A lot of time goes into them and if it was not for the charity I would not be making and selling them at the price I am, but all for a good cause. This one is probably eight hours.
Friday
Back to the optician as the eyes are not improving much, they seem to for a few days then right back to square one. This has been since beginning of December. He and I both now think it is more allergy related than infection. So given me something to help, I hope.
A spot of babysitting, was bedtime for the twins so I did stories and then took Spud down and gave her something to eat. This is one sleepy Minky.
Saturday
Got my official paperwork through during the week. You can find my profile here and I will be sharing pictures of my completed work.
I'm loving the quilting, how much are you selling them for and what charity? can you reply on fb or twitter please? Hope you manage to get to the bottom of the problem with your eyes, it can't help much with the sewing. Lovely picture of the crocus
ReplyDeleteeyes are still as itchy as hell today, be using both sets of drops for 5 days now, had hoped for some improvement, back on Friday.
DeleteThe croci and daffodils look so lovely - hooray for Spring! Love your hedgehog applique and sewing - very talented!
ReplyDeleteit is nice to see the Spring flowers
DeleteI love the outdoor photos....It really looks like spring has just about arrived.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Cash for Kids fundraising. It's such a great charity x
its is a great charity, and I like the fact what is raised local stays local.
DeleteLove seeing all your craft work, I can appreciate the work involved. The crocuses look lovely don't they #365
ReplyDeletethere is a lot of work involved but then it beats sitting on the computer.
DeleteIt sounds like a good idea to get organised with your patterns, even if it takes a lot of time at first. I love your sample hedgehog. I can totally believe it took eight hours!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see spring flowers, isn't it?
I am hoping the time spent will pay off. got a few days this week to play around with them.
DeleteThe hedgehog is just so cute. You could make and sell these as pillows and I bet they'd be so popular!
ReplyDeletegoing to try them as tri fold cushion covers as my next learning curve.
DeleteLovely picture of the carpet of crocuses, I love this time of year when all the spring flowers suddenly pop up.
ReplyDeleteyes it is a very beautiful time of year, eagerly awaiting the bluebells.
DeleteYay spring is coming! I love the photo of crocus' they are one of my favourite bulbs along with daffodils. I am impressed with you getting organised from the very start, and cannot wait to see more of the ones you make :)
ReplyDeleteorganised from the start is often the best way, time will tell whether it was worth it or not.
DeleteThe hedgehog is so so cute.is it a pillow cover? I hope you figure out what is wrong with your eyes soon as that must be a right pain. #365
ReplyDeletenot much further forward this week, but back again on Monday
DeleteThe hedgehog picture is fab and I think it's great to be helping raise money for charity with them.
ReplyDeletewell may as well make the most of my hobby.
Deletethat is a lot of frog spawn Elaine and black too, I assumed it is white ! I love the hedgehog - so cute and looks lovely. you are so kind making them for charity - must keep you busy but lovely gesture. Great idea spending time sorting your patterns too - will save time in the long run x
ReplyDeletewell I am only assuning it is frog spawn, may well be something else. I like to be usy hate sitting doing nothing.
