My Foot

Firstly thank you to all for the lovely emails asking how I’m doing…All is going as well as can be expected the wound looks lovely and clean, there is heaps of bruising coming out. The pain is bearable most of the time and a ice pack is aiding in alleviating immediate pain.The worst part is I am unable to sit for long at my computer or my sewing machine as my foot starts to swell rather quickly, so it’s sit in the recliner for a bit and do some stitching and then off to the bed and do some reading-and I just buzz the buzzer that hubby has rigged up if I need anything I am unable to get, hubby rigged up the buzzer cause he knows I hate hollering.

So I am being a nice quiet person-yep true I am –and it suks just so not me..

No sewing pics  to share and the foot is not pretty enough to share on here, so here’s Cya trying to  climb the blanket on the chair.

And on another note I was reading Bev ‘s blog the other day and wow it’s her 200th post ,made me jump over here and check my stats WOW I am over 300 so I best think about a giveaway soon,

cheers  Vickie

Another finish & RAK for April.

Happy Mothers day to one and all…

My day today is sewing for me yipeee….Gosh I just had to back track a fair way to find when I started this project and it was March 3rd 2009 it was a stash buster project by Judy ..and way way out of my comfort zone but I persevered and completed the top and then it sat in that place…

Today I decided it was time to complete it and now I have  it completed…

And I may even use it.

My RAK (random act of kindness) for anyone who left a comment on my blog in April is Doris

Oppe shop finds

We went shopping today, not the normal run of the mill crowd shopping  but the leisurely thrift store op shop shopping-what a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning….

Well look at the first book and not a page had been turned my shopping partner found it and for a nice price of $4…the second book is fantastic it’s from 1965 and has real understandable instructions for heaps of embroidery stitches-just what I need.

Lovely fabric finds this lot totalled $3.50 the fish print (1 metre)is a beautiful Japan print ,next is some lovely kiddie cotton (2 metre) and then 1 metre of calico..and last bit is beautiful..close up pic below.And the wooden hanger cause I love that style and the wee plastic bag has 6 wooden buttons in it

   This fabric is a real soft pink colour with the beautiful flowers on it-heck knows what I will use it for but golly it’s nice I couldna leave it there eh?

And look at this solid timber and like hey I know it’s blue but I could not leave it it was screaming at me buy me buy me..And so I did for the  sum of

see the top is a removable lid , and my stitchery fits in there perfect..not sure what I will pop in the front yet, but hey for $10 I’m not fussed…

Oh yes and my shopping partner was my dear hubby-what a man eh-and yep he got him self some gadgetty things too..

Oopsie Daisy Stop

 

Today I again indulged and made something for me…….

Tadaaaaaaah Oopsie Daisy Doorstop, designed by Jenny and published in Creating Country Threads Vol 10 No 8..and such a joy to make..

Normally I would of chosen fabrics like Jenny used, however I am determined to step out of my comfort zone with many projects this year…

The reverse side..and yep I have stitched the handle down in places..due too a certain 4 legged creature-that would of taken this for a walk had the handle been left free…

Thanks Jenny for another awesome design..now on another note hubby needs a upper cheek slap bigtime as when I showed him my doorstop he cackled laughing saying "it looks like an alien” too which I replied have another beer…

(Shhhh don’t tell him but on looking at it in the pic I guess it does have a kinda alien look to it, but we shall just keep  that to our selves).

Cheers Vickie
