Not much crafting seemed to get done but there was laughing and eating and silliness.
Sue was photo snapper for the day and she has posted some pics on her blog.
I had a lovely surprise from the city girls who brought me a wonderful gift for my neverending birthday.
I had done a great job of hiding it from everyone but once they knew they brought me this lovely clock for my Sewing room.
It's gorgeous..
Here it is in it's perfect place!
This afternoon Hub who played coffee barista for the girls yesterday, put up the clock for me.
Thankyou so much girls I have been annoyed at not having a clock in my room. Annoyed no more!
It matches well with these gifties from my sister in law. These haven't quite made it to the sewing cave yet. I am enjoying them in the kitchen.
How many crafty friends can you squeeze into a small sewing room?
As many as you want!
It was quite fun yesterday when all the girls wanted to come in to see my sewing room. I really love my special space. It has lots of reminders of all my crafty friends and non crafty friends, childhood memories-mine and my boys. It is very much me and yesterday it was filled with laughter as we all squished in.
It was a bit quieter in there today, just the gentle ticking of the clock and the steady hum of my sewing machine.
I worked on one of the applique blocks- total....Two of these blocks are now done (minus the leaves) 1 completely done with the leaves and all.
some crochet and applique has been dabbled in too. Do I have an attention issue?
This is what I added a few stitches to yesterday when the girls were here....not many mind you!
Definitely need to get some stitching action happening too....add it to the list.
hope you are having a great week!
