Doing the Fancy Dishes

Last night I basted several of my French General Rouenneries Deux Dresden plates to their backgrounds so that I may have a bit of variety in my stitching whilst making the rest of the plates.
Well then I could not leave them be...just had to have a little stitch...you know to see how they looked.
Don't you just love the tacking...I baste everything within an inch of it's life........ I am off to do more sorting and packing ( and discarding things and putting them back in the pile) for our trip. I do wish I was one of those wonderfully organised domestic goddess' that pack and travel so seamlessly and emerge from their campers looking uncreased and beautifully groomed.....not this little fluffy duck...Lol! I usually look like I have been dragged through a bush backwards. Try as I might I always take way too much and have no where to put it.....I have only just begun to buy toothpaste again since our last big trip 12 months ago and I took enough tin food to feed a small country...Shock! Horror! Surprise! There are actually supermarkets in country towns. Who knew??....the pantry is a lot more basic this time around. I am really trying.
Well I am dilly-dallying....must go!
Enjoy your day,
Blessings Michelle xxx

    The plates are looking lovely!
    Good luck with the packing! Like you, I always take too much and then find I only need a handful of items. I sometimes think I should wait a week or two after starting, then post everything home that I am not using. Sounds good in theory. Wonder if it works in practice.

    Love your Dresden Plates Michelle.
    I know what you mean about the packing,after you pack you should take it all out and discard half, then you would still have too much.
    Hugs R.

    Oh my, that French General fabric is beautiful, and your Dresden plates are perfection Michelle!
    Packing = always difficult ... I take everything I have ever not taken on a previous trip. The list is now Seriously Long!
