Pincushion from Susan

Pincushion from Susan
Originally uploaded by smorielorrie

This is the pic of the pincushion and other goodies i sent to my swap partner, Lorrie, in a pincushion swap that i was in last month. She received it today. I included a folded fabric fob for her scissors, a baby mini finger pincushion, a purse for keeping bits and pieces in, a pattern to make a teapot pincushion and of course a pincushion with threads for mending . I hope she enjoys using it. p.s. I borrowed this pic from the flicker page she posted.

HAPPY EASTER!


Here is a pic of the little chick that hatched 2 months ago. It is getting bigger now, i think it could be a rooster! I have introduced it to the other girls in the hen house . so far so good. Just a few pecks nothing bad. only a couple of the others seem to have it in for the mother but she gives as good as she gets! I put them in last night when it was dark so when they wake in the morning they are not to bad with a strange new face or two. Sorry the photos are a bit funny as the camera is still crook, but you can still see.



I have also been stitching a bit on my 'catalicous ' stitchery from bronwyn hayes, not finished yet and also done some of the satin stitching on val lairds design, I'm not very good at that but it will do. looks fine from a distance!. I haven't had a lot of time to do much this week as i have been doing some outwork for a lady so that has kept me busy.


Oh I don't seem to be able to upload any pics today , i have tried a few times but to no avail. maybe tommorrow.

THANK GOD IT'S OVER!! (nearly)

I'm so glad daylight saving is over this weekend! The weather has been great , I must admit . We need rain for the tanks! we are down to 1 full tank but if we only had 1 we would have been buying water in! It is dark in the morning now , I can hardly see when i go out to feed my chooks and half of them are still in 'bed' !! I never got up today till 11.45am !! I guess I have already my extra '1 hours sleep early !! (ha! ha!) Well off to do some baking and eating too. have a happy easter break everyone.

MY BAG IS FINISHED.

Well over the weekend i managed to finish my second stable bag. I started this ages ago and forgot about it till i had to wash my other one . I didn't put piping around the body gussett this time as i couldn't find the right brown i wanted to use so went for this old gold colour cord. It will do. This one is real good colour to hide the dirt as they do get grubby when you use them alot. I put a few exra pockets in this one also. They are fairly quick to make too.....once you know what you are doing! And they hold a ton of junk too!! here is a couple of pics of my new bag.
