Sunny Sewing Saturday!

Well much of today has been taken up with finishing Rhonda's prize, but if it's going to remain a secret, I really wouldn't trust her to look away if I showed you!  So you will all have to wait until it has arrived in Tennessee!

But one thing I did discover is that prescription sunglasses are the business!  I have never had them before; my vision hasn't really been that bad to bother, but now I have literally seen the error of my ways.   I sat in the sun sewing and I could actually see what I was doing without squinting!  Bloody marvellous!

So in trying to think what I could show you this evening I found a few of pics I took this week and didn't get to include already...

... this £2 linen Western Australia souvenir table cloth from a charity shop just begging to be cut up and rearranged into something else, (which will probably just look like a bigger table cloth... eventually!)...


... these childhood favourites in a local bakery, which the kids thought were hilarious!  Cornets, without ice-cream but marshmallow instead!...


... and to counteract the above, the apples in the garden are ripening quite nicely, (I've killed the strawberry plant and the sunflowers, so I take no credit for these!)...


Off the Kent to deliver the birthday quilt in the morning, so I will report back tomorrow xxx

  9. I totally would have looked away....*wink, wink*. I too wear prescription sunglasses but they are the old prescription and I am now in need of bifocals...UGH!! They really do make a huge difference.

  10. Oh, come on and show us Rhonda's goodie. Rhonda will look away for a few days I'm sure.

    Enjoy the day with Mom. She's going to love it and you're going to feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's the best ever!
