And this was Sunday ....... Festering, plumbing and a patchwork wall

So I said to my friend ‘I’m festering on the settee here, I think I’ll get my boots on and go for a stroll’.

Then I thought ‘FESTERING’ that’s a good word.

So I googled it.

I soon shot off the settee when it said decomposing like a dead body.

 We had a bit of trouble in the plumbing department.

The wandering welder was worried about his ballcock.

Seems it wouldn’t stop flushing.

He wasn’t amused by my witty quips, the pile of stuff he had to move

and having to pull the fitted unit apart.

The weather was to cold for me to stay out long,  even with my mouth

covered my teeth are to sensitive.  A trip to the dentist last was reassuring

that there is nothing amiss and to keep rubbing them with sensitive toothpaste.

Decided to crack on with my patchwork wall using vintage

wallpaper samples.

For the folk thinking her hair looks okay, why does she keep banging on about it.

Truth is it’s not been washed since 31st December.

Yesterday’s blog pic is how it will look when I do wash it.

The theory is if I leave it long enough it will refresh itself.

Nearly done.

How we miss going out for Sunday roast dinner.

I’ve never used these Maggi herb coated sheets before.

So here we go.

The verdict.  It was delicious.

And that was Sunday.  We will be watching the Great Pottery Throw Down

and Incredible Journeys with Simon Reeve.

Make it a good week folks whatever way you can.

Love as always

What's on my workdesk today.........

It's all about foraging for fabric this week

 I paid a visit to the local Salvation Army Shop and picked up two cushions, a crotchet top and a curtain, for the grand total of £5.50

As soon as I got home I turned the curtain into a cover for the garden sofa seat pad with enough left to make a blind for the bathroom window.  Then I fettled with some fabric pieces and made double sided seat pads for the chairs.

Donning my flowery charity shop frock I draped myself across the sofa looking like an English rose type of lady and waited for the weary welder to arrive home.  Then it lashed it down, so I had to abandon that plan.  Serves me right I should have been pulling them horrible weeds out that I've just noticed.

Back inside I've cut up more fabrics pieces to add to the patchwork curtains I'm making for the bedroom.

You do all know that I am not an accomplished seamstress so anything you see is comically known as The Rough & Ready Range.  Don't check out my stitchwork if you call in for a cuppa.

I've done a bit more slow stitching on this wall hanging then had to give in as the golfers elbow flared up.  Its amazing how you can get tennis/golfers elbow without even swinging a bat or a stick.

Finally I hope you all have a great creative week and that I can get to sit outside on my fancy furniture.
