FNSI results

Here's how my day started off.  Sewing from 9am till about 2pm then just a little more after tea.  Enjoyed some quiet time watching All Creatures Great and Small too.

After shots,  it might not look like much but have done more than I thought I would.  One panel basically complete and another well and truely started.  Might head off in a while and do some more.  I've been a busy girl this morning and got a large slab of the painting done before the walls warmed up too much from our lovely autumn day.

I still think this needs something else?  maybe something a little taller towards the edges to make them blend a bit with the side panels.

FNSI

The Friday night sew in is on again this week. I think I will continue work on the Home Sweet Home project or might finish off something else.  A little undecided at the moment.

I have started work on the orange tree on the back panel and have also done the windows which I also realise I have done a little differently than the front.  Might decide to unpick them and re do it yet.

The blue table centre has finally had the binding stitched down.  One of my least favoured jobs lol.

So hopefully this Friday I will start the morning off with sewing and continue into the afternoon without too much interuption.  The last one was a bit of a fizzer.

Look out for before and after shots over the weekend!

Home sweet home update

Revolting photo, should have pressed it after removing the blue pen marks LOL but you get the idea.  This is the front panel completed to go along with the roof sections and the base is also done.  The base I have quite simply just embroidered my name and the year.  The original was beautifully but simply embroidered but as it is the bottom I decided not to.  Have just started the back wall and have only kept the orange tree but added a couple of windows.  Might try to represent a vegie garden somehow.....still thinking about it.

 

Xmas stitchery quilt

Stitchery blocks are now all finished and ready to be sewn together soon.

Preserves

The last couple of weeks have seen me busy with some more preserving.  Have two types of tomato sauce and crab apple jam.  Whats not pictured is the green tomato jam which I think is more like a chutney but we haven't had it before so should be interesting.

Have also preped the vegie garden for sowing this weekend.

Giveaway winners

As there were only two interested in the giveaway I have decided to split them in half and also send off a couple of surprise cards to Kristen and Linda.

Thanks Shez

A big thank you for the link that Shez provided on the last post. I am sure comment verification or what ever the stupid thing is called has now been successfully switched off LOL. The link to do the same if you wish is : http://robs-stitchintime.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/new-word-verification-bah.html

Word verificaiton

Now I am turning this off for a while and see how things go because it is driving myself and so many others in blog land nuts LOL.

FNSI update

Well no pic, flat batteries in the camera LOL, but I did get the roof finished and spent yesterday doing the edge stitching.  I am at the moment picking the colours, threads and ribbons I want to use for the flower garden I will be creating on the walls.  Hopefully tonight I might be able to start the front wall with the beautifully shaped branches that might just turn into wisteria.  Although I think I should do the boring things like windows first.

It was back to Obedience school for Tess yesterday and she really enjoyed it and worked very well.  You wouldn't even know she was desexed on Friday.  I think we really have sit, drop, look and come consolidated.  Now we are on to the hard stuff - stay LOL.  Like that will ever happen. 

Off to finish picking the threads before getting the girls up for school.

FNSI

This Friday  is listed as another FNSI.  I have decided to spend the day working on Home Sweet Home.  I am guessing I might be kept a bit busy after tea looking after Tess LOL.  I still have a roof panel to finish but I might just start on the cottage garden I plan to put on the walls.  As usual I have decided to change it a fair bit LOL to suit my garden and make it more personal.  I think I will do the accessories the same as pictured.
