The weekend that was.....

Looked beautiful outside
...the sun is deceiving... 
icy wind 
.... best stay indoors and stitch....


Hubz got me a new table for my sewing space

This is the view where I have sat for the last few years - it has evolved as we have put in shelves, added hooks etc

I love this space... it has necessities, and treasures, and memories


a change is as good as a holiday they say

A new corner table 
take down the old daggy curtains
move the electrical cords
... MUCH better light .... 
and a change of view 


..... zoom up and you can see where a lot of my entertainment comes from .....
(that's the birdbath featuring in my present blog header)


..... I had to test out if I could really work there so I did some quilting ....


.... this morning this is who popped in for a visit and a snack .... 


Righto, Gotto Go.....

I'm going to try making soap today

  16. You have such a lovely view. The window from my sewing room is one meter away from a colour bond fence so i have nothing to look at. This is why I crank up my ipod and sing along to the likes of Van Morrison and Kate Ceberano.

  19. I have been wanting to learn to make soap. I love all the different scents that can be added. No more Granny's Lye Soap, I saw something interesting on Pinterest where they had microwaved Ivory Soap...It made a huge snowball looking thing. Nice new table always great to have sturdy work tables.
