Pussy Puss

Recycling

My latest sewing project is experimenting with lounge suite seat covers, using an old patchwork quilt.  They are kind of bulky, but I made them removable using elastic underneath.   Now, when my dog tries to dig a nest in the sofa, she will be thwarted in her efforts, and I won't have to litter the lounge in throw rugs, so it looks much neater.

Greengages

The greengages in my back garden are starting to ripen finally.  Loooves me some greengages straight from the tree.

Devonport Sunset

An Old Project

I embroidered this cushion years ago, and it's one of those projects I look back on, and wonder that I had the patience and eyesight to do it. All those tiny shadow-work stitches, on really fine voile fabric. And it took ages to finish. It came from Handmade magazine, 9-3 and was designed by Alison Snepp.

Alderwood Quilts Giveaway

California Giveaway

Elmer's Been Adopted!

Remember Elmer? I loved Elmer. He was placid, affectionate and stable, and yesterday when I made my Sunday visit to the Dog's Home, they told me he had been adopted out! I hope he has a long and happy life. And Tara. Tara had been there for quite some time. She was big and gentle, and she's found a new home too. She deserved it.

This is Jason. He's only a baby, and when he gets near other dogs, he likes to flop all over them and play. I'm sure his turn will come to find a new home.

Best Wishes

A Lovely Day

Christmas day. Good food, best tableware, kids, fun, laughter, toys.
