Hello everyone! Today has been full of excitement....well, okay, it hasn't but it might of! We had planned a nice shopping and lunch date in Bham today but when the boiler didn't fire so we could have nice warm showers this morning I had to phone the gas people to come and sort it out for the third time this week. They said they'd have an engineer here between 12 and 6pm.....He came at 2pm and seemed a bit more competent than the last one, but after 45 minutes he couldn't really find anything wrong with it so replaced some switch checked the gas flow and left us to it. Somehow it always behaves when an engineer comes out. Pesky boiler! While we were waiting I managed to patch up our big blue duvet cover (forgot to take photos!) that the cats had put a few holes in while pouncing on our feet. Also took a few photos of new stuff I've made over the past few weeks.
I made a pincushion version of the smiley sunflower and I think it turned out really well!
Our lovely cactus is flowering and looking very pretty at the minute - it may have to have a pincushion made in its honor! The flowers are a nice bright yellow but you can't really see that in this photo.
We did manage a little trip into Bham so I could get a couple more maternity tops as I'm expanding beyond all my normal clothes now. I also made the mistake of going into the big bookshop and couldn't resist these two books.....The cute knits book has some fantastic sock recipes that Bunny is just going to have to have made! They may also be appearing as Christmas presents for various little people we know!
Tomorrow I'll not get any sewing time as we're off to J's parents for a nice Easter lunch. I still have another week off so will hopefully get lots more completed from my epic list before my Dad arrives Thursday to re-fit the utility room! It's going to be our utility/laundry/craft storage area!
