Hello...

is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes...

I can see it in your smile...

You're all I've ever wanted

and my arms are open wide,

'cause you know just what to say

and you know just what to do...

and I want to tell you so much

I love you.

Bear Necessities

Today is the first day of  HOT here in southern England.

Hip, hip...

Two of my besties found new homes last week

and we've been really missing them...

especially this guy... 

(but I know he's being well looked after)

so I advertised for a new flat mate and

he seems to be settling in rather well.

Perhaps I'll make him a proper lady friend soon

and a couple of boy dolls, of course...

or perhaps I'll just enjoy some slow stitching in the sun while it lasts.

Storms are forecast!

Cushion or Carrier?

I can never decide whether to make a cushion or a carrier from my remnants ...

such is the limit of my sewing skills!

Did I make the right choice?

( Fortunately Clarke Kent left me a couple of his old shirts for the backs)

Cushion or carrier?

I wish this one was a bag now.

Cushion or carrier?

Would have made a nice cushion.

Cushion or carrier?

Can you see my problem?

Cushion or carrier?

and finally...

I used to be undecided but now I'm not sure.

Poor Old Looby-Loo

Was feeling sad and blue.

She's in a stress,

Her hair's a mess,

Whatever shall we do?

How about a wig?

I'm thinking brown and big?

With a stitch or two

And a bit of glue

You'll dance a happy jig!

Can you jig?

More Market Makes for May

I've been busy making merchandise for our May market

but today is post market down time...hurrah!

Would you like to see my best bits?

Best mates,

best pin cushion,

best blooms

and best display ...

badges for chests in the community!

It's always mayhem and

a struggle to squeeze it all in the car.

(if only they'd stack inside each other!)

but we made it!

I 'm going to start early for next month,

I say that every month.

Eternal frames

This lovely weather has been making me rather lazy...

no sewing or knitting...

just a bit of cutting and sticking

and lots of framing.

How about a complimentary mirror?

You have to be careful when you photograph mirrors

they can catch you unawares...

I really like how this one turned out...

and I think my daughter has a point.

This one's naughty...

so I might be needing these...

on my journey.

 No political message intended...

I shall be making a right pointy finger as well!
