Damp Friday

Lots of showers coming and going here today so after my Yoga class and some yummy pumpkin soup for lunch I settled in for a spot of stitching and my little bear block just happened to be dodging showers too.
I have just finished it....
She doesn't look all that pleased about the weather either. I am quite pleased at my progress with these blocks and only have a few more to go IF I don't get side tracked.
I have been meaning to show you the "hubby tripper" aka a wooden towel rack/ quilt rack I bought on holidays at a bargain price (where I bought the lovely Winton plate). I think I am going to be one of those old ladies that will never consider whether or not it fits in....I'll make it fit....hang on I already am!!!!
It now lives at the top of my stairs....side view.
I think it looks lovely with it's quilts. So far only a few toe bangs by No 1 Husband. lol.
Tonight Hubby is cooking (chinese takeaway from our favourite shop) so I am not sure if I will continue on with the next bear block or do a little quilting job.
Decisions, decisions! Are you kicking up your heels to mark the end of the working week or are you like me and doing some quiet stitching?
I hope you find some stitching time this weekend.
Blessings Michelle xxx

    Ohh what a sweet bear! I was just saying to De today that you always do the nicest bears. (We were looking at one of my new library books and commenting on the not so good bears in there). I am stitching tonight too. I think it should be every Friday LOL. xx debbie

    I love that bear block Michelle. Also your quilt rack is gorgeous and looks wonderful where you have it. Yes we have takeaways on a Friday night too & it is lovely to have a night off cooking & focus on more crafting. Happy weekend, Julie Xo

    The bear is so cute. You make me want to stitch . I might just have to get something started on the weekend.
    I love your husband tripper. I think you are a women after my own heart. I am always trying to make things fit after I have bought them.

    SO many lovely things on your blog at the moment. Love teddy with her cute umbrella. I'll have some rain down this way if you have had enough lol. Very dry as I am gardening today and have to water before I can weed the next section. Roll on winter please.

    Great quilt rack. Definitely a must have for displaying your lovely work.
    And, yes, I buy things and make them fit, rather than checking first.
    Another lovely bear, regardless of the weather.
