Sunday
DD2 SIL and baby Ziggy were down for twenty four hours. They had come to see Bob perform in his show at Centre Stage. Did not think I would see Ziggy but she was up before I went out to work.
Crap quality picture, taken with my phone across a half dark living room.
Monday
One of my colleagues at work came across some unused curtains that she had had for years and wanted to know could I use them, So thanks to C for adding to my material stash. I am making her a piece of applique as a thank you.
Dropped Bob at gymnastics and then took Lilly for a walk. Her usual field that she really likes has been fenced off. Sadly this means all the dogs will now go into the already busy field so will make walking her there nearly impossible now.
Tuesday
Friends of ours are due to get married in May. Hubby is to be his best man. So we went down for a visit and a catch up on some of the details. The wedding is on Arran, my suggestion last year, and so we have booked a room and just need to get our ferry tickets come pay day. Took Lilly with us, and they put their dog in his cage in the hall. Have to say we were surprised there was no woofing or growling from her at all. She was even up at the cat nose to nose and being nice. Maybe there is hope yet. Here is Lilly getting round them and lying on the back of their couch watching out the window.
Wednesday
A lovely walk up to Failford. Not been up there for a while. Was rather muddy but Lilly loved her walk and her exploring in the woods. This little dog just loves to run and run.
DD1 took Spud to A&E as she had hurt her foot, they were not too worried as she is still weight bearing, apparently strapping it up can do more harm than good at her age. So as she was not going to be back in time I picked the twins up from nursery. One of the local gardens has two ducks so they showed me them on the way home.
Thursday
Been busy doing various bits of sewing. Finished this one this week. This is my first piece that I have sold for the charity but I am holding onto it to let other people see my work in case they want to order.
Friday
Back at the optician. Have used the two lots of drops he gave me but not doing much good. He thinks my right eye is allergic irritation and my left infection. Gave me different drops to try and to go back on Monday.
Took Lilly to the vet as she seemed to be in pain. He seems to think it is a disc in her back and gave her an anti inflammatory injection. Made a difference very quickly and she came home and ate willing for the first time in a while. Not much they can do for it except injections but he is hopeful it should settle.
Received a food delivery yesterday for a blog post. So tonight's tea was oven cooked chicken and veg with some Dolmio sauce and a jacket potato.
Saturday
Using up the last of my annual holidays this week. So been busy with the sewing machine. This is my first attempt at what they call cathedral windows. A very time consuming piece of work but very pretty when it is done.
Made this into an envelope cushion cover. It would benefit from a run over with the iron.
What have you been up to this week?
Loving your sewing as ever. It's great that your colleague thought of you and donated the old curtains. I hope Spud's foot is OK now.
ReplyDeletethe amazing thing was they were new curtains, never ever been up, some still sealed in the bags.
Deletesorry to hear your outdoors spaces to take Lily are being reduced, but she did so well when you took her to visit where there was another dog and a cat. your patchwork is really beautiful, glad you are finding homes for all your work and good luck with the charity pieces
ReplyDeleteshe did do well. The orders fr the charity pieces are starting to come in.
DeleteHope your eye is better really soon. It must be so frustrating having to keep back for more drops c
ReplyDeletereally annoying when they are not getting any better.
DeleteWow, Arran for the wedding - such an amazing place. Love staying at Auchrannie, but there are so many lovely B&Bs too
ReplyDeletecant wait until the wedding. Have read a lot of good things about Auchrannie but we (sadly) are not staying there
DeleteI love the sewing projects. The cathedral windows look lovely and I wonder what you will make with the curtain material. #365
ReplyDeletestill not used the curtains yet but will be shortly as the backing for an envelope cushion with a mermaid scene on the front.
DeleteGreat sewing makes. I wish I could use my sewing machine (although don't have much tim for it)
ReplyDeleteI have had mine for over 10 years and before this year it probably did less than 5 hrs work. Now it is working much harder.
DeleteGlad Spud's injury wasn't too serious. And hope Lily's back improves soon.
ReplyDeleteHopefully your eyes will settle by Monday.
The cathedral window sewing project looks fab
she does not appear to have any lasting damage and is wandering around normally, but better safe than sorry at that age.
DeleteLove seeing your weekly sewing projects. You're very clever and they look great. Hope you get your eyes sorted out soon and that Lilly is now sorted thanks to the injection #365
ReplyDeleteI am hoping my eyes get sorted soon as well as they are become very annoying.
DeleteIt must be so frustrating that your eyes aren't getting better. Fingers crossed the new drops work. Love the cushion cover, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe sewing is looking great and Lily does look at home lounging on the back of the sofa!
ReplyDeleteI do like the cushion cover - such a pretty effect. Good to see Lily running in the picture - I hope the injections do the trick.
