The Time Thief's been around again!!!

I can't believe that it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post here...

The Time Thief has certainly been around ...

...stealing the precious stuff!

Since passing the BIG 50....

..I really think that the clocks have shifted up a gear...

..SCARY or WHAT :-(

But...

..hands have not been idle at least...

..in fact I've gotten quite a bit done in the Thief's bag time.


AND IT'S PINK!!!!

Not normal for me at all - pink...

..but my friend's daughters would like it a lot!

It's that time of year when samples and examples need to be done for workshops and courses...

Oh Dear! ...playtime has arrived :-)))))

...and these are for a new "Paper, Print and Stitch" workshops ready to run from Sept/Oct this year.










These particular ones use some small pieces of fabric from one of Ger's "Pink Packs"...



... that arrived in the same pack as this little beauty...





..her "Mood Indigo" piece that I just couldn't resist :-)

(Don't you just LOVE having things like this drop through the letterbox?)


..and...

..as well as PINK....

...RED...

...is also making a comeback!

..in these...



..and these...







..which are destined to be the centrepieces of some small patched bags, cushions or bookcovers...

Thoughts are beginning to turn back around to home-stuff too...

Some time back we had a woodburner installed...

...in a corner of the living-room that had no fireplace or hearth or chimney!

Some men with a magnificent drilling machine were invited to make a 10 inch hole...

...through a 2 foot 8 inch thick wall...

...at EXACTLY 45 degrees..

..PRETTY PLEASE!

This they did in about 35 minutes! WOW!!!

...and last winter, when it was minus double figures...

..we were not cold :-)

There's just one thing bugging me...




...what to put in that 55 inch-wide space above the fire?!!



...and then...



..there's the kitchen to finish off.... :-o


(Hope that Time Thief stays away!)
