Having a good route around.

BIRTHDAY WITCH

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to little witch, Susanna.

STITCHES WITH WITCHES

Yay! Our very first crafty gathering.

Who! 

My two lovely step daughters who are also my very bestest pals plus me. We have finally started our crafty gatherings after many years of thinking about it. All of us are in to sewing at the moment but that won't necessarily stay the norm, after all, there are birthday and Christmas cards etc to think about. 

Today, our Paula helped me cut a strip out of my jelly roll throw topper. That is now ready for me to take forward, no rush. I tried to rough cut more templates for the 1930s blocks I'm making, but some of the pieces are so small I gave up and started to sew a few of the Kaffe Facette hexies I did whilst on holiday.

Our little hive of activity today was in Paula's conservatory. 

We all, Paula, Susi and I, sewed, croched, cut out, watched a squirrel and lots of birds plus cuddled and stroked Huxley and Tilly, Paula's Tibetan Terriers.

All in all, a fabulous get together which will be repeated on 7 August.

ILLUMINATION WEATHER

If you lived in the Fylde you would know what I mean by 'illumination weather'. 

Generally in September when the lights are on in Blackpool, we get gales that cause damage. Today we had gales. It's lovely and warm but it's blowing a 'hooly'.

Over the last two days I've managed a little bit more sewing.

This one was hard. I nearly gave up hope!

Grandmother was simple to make but the next one wasn't.

May was fiddly to say the least.

Tomorrow is 'Stitches with Witches craft club. Can't wait. 

BEEN A VERY BUSY FEW DAYS

Saturday was removal day for our Susanna. Her dad and I went to help with the chaos. Fortunately though she had removal men for the heavy stuff.

She is almost straight now despite going back to work last Monday.

I have managed to sort fabric for more blocks plus I printed all but one of the whole 99. I forgot # 37!!

A few more are finished

Hope to rough prep some today.
