Therefore after the school run and breakfast I sat down and got on with my latest project.
 |
| I have to say, those little black and white squares just make my day. |
Round one of basting complete I commenced sewing them together.
I like hand sewing. I have reached a stage in my ability that I no longer drill a hole in my finger pushing the needle through, and I don't wear a thimble because it's like I have five thumbs when I wear one. It's a happy place to be, just me and my epp in the house alone.
On top of feeling pleased with getting so far with this project already, I am feeling all self satisfied because I scrubbed the cooker, inside and out, and I cut the grass - for the next door neighbours too because they always do stuff for us. Now dinner is made, and I think I've earned some more sewing time this evening. Life is good.

scrubbed the cooker? do you not just buy a new one?
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I do the bargain stuff too, today I cleaned the bathrooms and ironed in the morning so I could do some afternoon sewing. x
ReplyDeleteA satisfactory day!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe epp is beautiful! Well done for the cleaning and kind neighbourly act! You would recoil in horror at the state of my oven!!
ReplyDeleteLove the EPP! And yes I'm always making deals with myself, known as a sh@t sandwich round here!!! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI have so many chores I can no longer neglect I too will be making deals like this about getting to sew. LOVE you're epp so much!
ReplyDeleteI do deals with myself like that all the time so you arent the only one.
ReplyDeleteYour EPP looks amazing as always. You got so far in such a short time. Girl, you have mad skills.
Cannot believe you cleaned the cooker...Mr. P and I wait until thats bellowing smoke out the door and then argue about who is going to get the unlucky job of cleaning out 12 months of crud.
Can you come and cut my grass too, pretty please!! Your epp looks so lovely! Jxo
