Another week has swept past me....
I haven't done nearly as much as I wanted.... some unplanned things like a tooth breaking and then needing a rather expensive crown to fix it....
However, did find the dental experience a lot easier. All done with an x-ray and scan and made (possibly 3D printed?) on site so done and dusted within 2 hours and home chewing comfortably..... No come back for another appointment etc.
Then a cervical smear..... which is now self serve, so no indignation of spreading legs and having cold instruments shoved in.... just a visit to the loo and do it yourself.... and they are good for 5 years ...
So you can tell what kind of week I had!!! A lot better than it might have been.....
I needed not too much thinking for my sewing.... this tablecloth was bought at a charity shop some time ago...
A lovely cotton but too small for my 6 seater table...
My repurposing for this week, chop chop and sew in hems and I have 8 more dishcloths - that actually absorb water....

Progress on my Embroidered Table Runner...
Before
,,,, and After....
Still lots more to do on this section...
KOGO have put a call out for baby blankets so I have started this one ... it is actually a pretty light blue with a navy stripe ... The crochet is a twist, easy but effective and I do need to watch what I am doing....
I am using a 4 ply acrylic so it will be soft and washable.... I will need to do a hunt for baby colours and soft yarn.
Righto, Gotto Go... a few things to do around the house before settling in for tonights TV viewing....
Have a lovely weekend .....xx

Pretty embroidery, it's coming along nicely.....good idea to repurpose your tablecloth; it would make good shopping bags too.
Your table runner is progressing well. Looks good. Good use of the table cloth, i'll have to remember that when i finally run out of crochet dishcloths. :)
Isnt May going by so incredibly fast Fiona?! Mind you I probably say that about every month! I love the idea of those dishcloths & they look wonderful. xx
You’re all serviced now both top and bottom. 😜…
Great recycling ♻️ by making the dish clothes from the table clothe.
Some pretty embroidery done and also crocheting. 🧶
Sorry to hear about the tooth problem! Glad that is all done and no pain. As for the other "hole", I'll keep it to myself, lol. I have to get that done too and I hope we have the same "self-serve" that you had.
You made an awesome progress on the table runner. I turn old linen tablecloths into dishcloths too. They are the best ones. Enjoy the TV sewing tonight. ;^)
Oh my! The mention of 'dentist' and I'm in a horror story. My last visit for the 'other' I was pleasantly surprised by the 'self-serve' ... oh the things we must do!
That was great progress on your table runner and the crochet looks effective ... maybe another on my 'to do' list :)
Glad your dental and medical experiences were good. I have several crowns and the process sounds much quicker now. I am totally surprised about the pap smear. Love your embroidery and the crochet is looking lovely. I must find where I can drop off things for Kogo as my patchwork groups used to have boxes to put things in for Kogo but I haven't been involved with groups for years.
Ouch on the tooth front. I was disappointed there was no champers for my final CS visit lol! Your embroidery is beautiful. Good upcyling on the tablecloth xx
A busy week all in and out of the sewing room for you. Great job on recycling the tablecloth. Good progress on the runner.
