Remembering Roma was first.
I have got a sinusey coldy thingy.....too much partying I think recently! Anyway, until today haven't felt like doing too much after art class so I have just been quietly basting hexies for Brinton Hall. I nearly have enough for all the crowns in the first round.
I am basting them people.....I know it will take me forever but I failed gluing! Nope! Not a fan! Sigh! See dinosuar thinking is not extinct lol!
On a completely different note...
I have the sweetest Aunt and I visit her whenever I am able. I have loved her for as long as I can remember. Soft of voice, quick to smile and a wonderful sense of humour. We also share a love of the critters in our natural world. I love spending time with her. Recently on a visit she gave me a little box of family treasures.....from my Grandmother. She wanted me to have them. When I peeked inside.....ohh!
Two more little chintz china demetasse cups to go with the one my Mum gave me....love them so much....and then there were three!
It came from my Grandmother's dressing table, where it always sat holding her rings.
Not worth a Kings Ransom to others but priceless to me. Beautiful memories.
I don't know where my sentimentality comes from but I can't be any different.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
Your new treasures are so pretty! It has been hot here too, too hot to concentrate on sewing.

ReplyDeleteThey are so sweet. Such good memories
ReplyDeleteThe heat can be so stifling and doesn't encourage creativity. Beautiful family treasures from you aunt.
ReplyDeleteGood scheme for getting to your binding Michelle; I hear there's been some HOT weather over your way! I"m loving the sneak peek look of your new pattern :-) How lovely of your aunt to give youthe family treasures. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family treasures indeed!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to do the work that you need to in during the times when it is less hot . Your treasures are beautiful, I am sentimental too 😊
ReplyDeleteWell done getting into the Cave early to get the machine sewing done..
ReplyDeleteLOL we have a lovely lady at our Patch group who tired gluing and failed, she also loves bashing her hexies..
Oh what beautiful treasures your Aunt gave you..
Those treasures are just perfect for you! Your sewing is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful to get some treasures from your grandmother. I too failed gluing and much prefer basting. Easier to do the flat back stitch when basted!
ReplyDeleteGood to get those little bits completed before the heat of the day, and how special to have those treasures from your grandmother! My grandma was very special to me too!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see a lot of progress on your stitching. The weather does restrict what we do far too much.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your beautiful family treasures.
How very very special <3
