So, only fitting to end the week on a more positive note today with my making. Though, that being said, I thought yesterday's hoop was hysterically funny. Sorry if you thought it was a bit grim.
Today I officially joined the Zakka Revolution.

| I'm rather pleased with this. And it is as simple to make as everyone said. |
If you have left a comment in the past seven days and I have not replied, just give up hope. Today is a fresh start. I've tackled life and some of its occasional unpleasantness, had a word (or two) and we are moving forward from here.
Therefore I saved the best for last today. Because someone else in this household has caught the hoop mania. And it is Emily, who made one for me. I will treasure it always.
Susan
Aw, bless her - its fabulous
ReplyDeletekids things they make are the greatest. i know some people who should quilt so they wont kill people
ReplyDeleteWell done Emily! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you all the way... Today is the best day of the week and that's only because it's Friday. My boss came into my office today and I warned him that I was generally pi****. LOL he looked really scared.
ReplyDeleteI have two boys... Lovely, sweet and all that. But boys! What do you think it would take to bribe them to do an embroidery like your daughter's?
Fabulous Emily! Great pinny and pouch Susan! Enjoy sticking your pins with a big grin :) Sunshine and showers here tomorrow looks like it's gonna be a good'n!
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't that sweet! And I loved your hoop of yesterday. Maybe you need one for your rear windscreen - and a matching t-shirt for visits to the bank.
ReplyDeleteOh bless her cotton socks! What a wee treasure! Glad you are getting some vitamin D at last! Jxo
ReplyDeletestarting early ... talented little girl xx
ReplyDeleteThat hoop is definitely a keeper! Watch out Susan - all she needs is a blog of her own and you'll have a real challenge on your hands. Have a great weekend with your family!
ReplyDeleteCoolest hoop ever Emily!
ReplyDeleteAnd cool post Mumma!
(yes I'm sure it is not escaping your attention that It's 2am here when I write this. Just up with sick kiddo again)
Cherish that moment! When they do or say things like that it just makes everything worthwhile, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteAww, what a little pet - how sweet!! You have such wonderful children!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love the sewing roll!
Oh my goodness, I love that hoop - what a clever little lady (like her mum). I'm sorry about your week. I've been away so am off to read backwards and see what's happened, and I'll probably leave comments but only if you promise not to reply to them all! xx
ReplyDeletelovethe zakka case! love emily's hoop so cute xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to end the week. Well done Emily! Love the sewing roll too. Have a chilled weekend. Di x
ReplyDeleteOh, Emily, sweetness. How great is that?
ReplyDeleteSweet wee hoop from Em :-) Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that Emily! You owe her a Sylvanian family for that lovely work! Did you cry!?
ReplyDeleteSeems Emily 'read' her Mum's mood and knew she needed some lovin'? So sweet! I love the Zakka pouch and pinnie! Enjoy the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... lovely Zakka makes, Susan. The colours make me smile.
ReplyDeleteAwwww... there's a love!
Well done Emily, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd mum - welcome to the Zakka obsession.
Oh she's the best xxx
ReplyDeleteIm glad Emily went with her own sentiment and not something with the word "kill" in it. It looks lovely. Something to treasure always.
ReplyDeleteLove the Zakka roll...
I've caved in too...bought the Zakka book the other day.
ReplyDeleteI love your sewing kit and I love the hoop even more. Emily is very talented.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you have had a bad week, and glad that things are improving.
ReplyDeleteOh that's fabulous Emily, well done.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your week was bad, crossing my fingers for next week being much much better.
I'm resisting Zakka but I must say that looks gorgeous and I love the little bit of HR.
Looks like Emily is taking after her Mum and being creative... Well done Emily it's beautiful. Hugs
ReplyDeleteBugger the week, it's the weekend now :)
ReplyDeleteLove the hoop, Emily did a fantastic job - can she teach me now please? x

What a lovely gift from your daughter - definitely something to keep forever! And I thought your post with the philosphy in the hoop was funny!
ReplyDeleteLucky you, what a precious gift! :) I too succumbed this week and have ordered "Zakka Style". How can one resist all those lovely linens?
