Not in a good way either….I have been horribly ill with a severe bladder infection and all the nasty side effects that go alongside it…I am 50% better than I was at the beginning of the week but not quite fighting fit yet!
I have had a childfree day today (thanks to Grandma & Grandpa) so have managed to make up a few pieces…two I can show, one is for an exchange so that is a secret until it arrives at its new owner’s home.
Firstly is the ring pillow for a wedding….I absolutely loved stitching this design, it was supposed to be stitched on 28c fabric but I only had 32c, therefore I added a few rows of beads, cross-stitches and Algerian eyelets….
JBW Designs “Sweet Nothings” Ring Pillow
32c Murano White, White DMC and white glass beads
Finished as a ring pillow, with vintage Mother of Pearl buttons and embroidered net lace
Secondly I finished up also the end of school year gift for Isaac’s teacher..
Lizzie*Kate “My Teacher”
32c Murano Ivory with own choice DMC threads
Finished as a pillow with red gingham backing, ric-rac edging and a red bow!
I am now all up to date with my exchanges…due to this and illness my WIP’s and SALs have taken a back seat, but hopefully I will now be able to bring them back out and carry on….
I purchased my copy of WOXS yesterday and yes there I am on page 32…how blooming exciting eh!! I also bought a copy of Mollie Makes…OMG I love it, I have now ordered a subscription of it too….lol
Well have a good weekend all, I have a few hours childfree tomorrow too as the children are going strawberry picking with their Daddy…better remember to bring some back for their ole Mummy!
Have a good weekend whatever you chose to do!
Hugs & Stitches
