La La, Monday Monday...

It was a wet one, it was a miserable one, I wore my winter coat, but I've got that first day back at work under my belt, taken the kids to the dentist and have tea in the oven.  England are ahead  drawing 1-all in the football, and hopefully I will be able to get Annabella's Stitch Tease block finished this evening.

Sneaky peek anyone?


I've also got a couple of little embroideries to show for an evening in front of the TV, but I have forgotten to wash off the fabric marker, so will only show you one for now...

"hello?"
Hope you haven't been washed away, blown away or otherwise affected by the elements today; who'd of thought it was summer!  Can't stop, I can smell sausages xxx

  4. Love the telephone...hello, hello! Rain here in St Louis is wonderful and welcome as we are in almost drought conditions. Best part of a rainy day is staying close to home and cranking up the sewing machine (the glories of being a teacher on summer break).

  13. I love the sneak peek but I'm not sure it's enough to sustain me for a whole year! Lovely embroidery, are you turning it into 'something' or hanging it in a hoop for all to see?

  14. I'll swap the sun we have for your rain if you want, the kids have scarlet fever (and there I was thinking that it only exists in old books!) so no use for all this heat here...
    I love that little telephone!

  15. Hee hee, love the wee phone! It was definitely damp here this weekend - yesterday I was in a large tin warehouse for several hours, and it sounded like the roof was going to come in at one point!

  21. It's about 12 degrees, storming and blowing a gale, and 16000 homes have lost power here. So just like an English Summer's day.... And you are MEAN mentioning sausages! Its what I miss most about England!

  22. I never realized England had such horrible weather...is it ever nice?
    I like rainy days to stay home and sew, but when you have to go out in it, YUCK. I like your little embroidery
