They normally start with a well deserved lie in and a cuppa in bed. Perfect! But there are always chores to do.....boo! Today I seemed to be able to find all sorts of things to do to avoid those dreaded jobs.
A Sunday lunch curry (Mmm...), reminiscing over video footage from our last trip to Canada (now only 38 days to go till the next one!), a nice cuppa while snuggled up on the sofa, getting crafty with fabric, and of course a trip to see Dad.
The crafty bit has resulted in some more padded hanging hearts. I was hoping to devote some time last week to this little project, but you know how it is sometimes. Still I am pleased with results.
Particularly this one....
I adore the heart fabric which I picked up from the Eternal Maker in Chichester.
I do like this red number too........but I think its got more of a festive feel.
I also made this cute butterfly brooch. During the week I was contacted by a College student who asked if she could use my work as a reference for her A Level project........how weird! But flattering. She is basing her project on butterflies, so I made her this.......
Im now ready to settle down for the evening and not think about the ever approaching 'monday morning'! But I thought I'd quickly share with you a couple of my loves of the day.
Firstly, and you might think this is a bit strange......., is my glue gun! Yes, I know. But I really don't know how I've gone so many years without one! Its a fab thing, and makes so many jobs easier, and able to be done in half the time!
Also, today has been the first outing for my little antique flower brooch. I love the delicate work that has gone into the petals and think it looks great against a black top.
Beautiful!
What have you been up to?.......
