- shhhhh... it's a secret....
the one I am making has lots of different things in it....
some writing
some stitchery
some applique...
some wool felt
some piecing
some matching points
some quilting
some binding
a label...... (sorry a piece of sticky label fell on it)
It's not quite finished so I can't show you what it is!!!
I really don't like to swear... I had to do a bit of the 'M' word .....
Hubz asked me in the nicest of way to fix his trousers for him.....
after which I needed a snack.... just to keep up my energy......... coffee and walnut cake... my all time favourite
.... I used this recipe....
Can't wait to see what it is that you are creating for the swap and by the looks of a very successful FNSI. hugs

Lovely sneak peeks. The cake looks so yummy. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI had an M job too last week, funny how we can sew buttons on owls and such . but it is bothersome to sew a button on a shirt.
ReplyDeleteI will await the secret sewing with anticipation.
Darn those sticky labels, they just get on everything, don't they? *G* That project looks amazing, sweetie, can't wait to see it! Oh ugh the "M" word....*shudder*
ReplyDeleteInteresting.. oh I hate secrets, you are such a tease....by the way too much walnut cake will make you fat so I see it as my duty to take some off you :) Hugs
ReplyDeleteHello Fiona,
ReplyDeleteYou are like a politician showing us something but not really telling us the whole story.Enjoy that cake.
Happy days.

Secret stitching is the most fun type of stitching! The 'm' word is a swear word at my house too, what does he mean I love using my sewing machine? - not on that sort of sewing!!
ReplyDeleteTalk about sneaky... I'm so tired just looking at all your little teasing photos... there's so much in it!!! Looks amazing.. love your snack too... he he..
ReplyDeleteThose sneaky peeks look great, so does that cake - yum!
