All my stitching efforts have been in snatches of time between running here and there. Also it is that time of year when secret stitching is taking place and I have been working away on my secret projects.
A charity project of toiletries bags for the homeless has been done for Sunday Stitchers this week....all ready for filling. Colours suitable for either men or women were needed....
My bedtime reading has been a delighful surprise. I am a bit of a fan of Graham Norton, irreverent Irish comedian. Recently I discovered he is also an author of fiction. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to seek his second and latest novel out......
Well I think that's me caught up for now....hopefully some quieter days ahead to catch my breath.
Hi Michelle your secret sewing looks intriguing,love them both. So glad for you that the Queensland Wildlife Artist's Society Exhibition at Mt Cootha was a sucess. Also what a great idea with the toiletry bags.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects you have going there. 1797 revisted is looking lovely. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteYour secret sewing looks wonderful Michelle ... is that some Tilda fabric I spy!!?? Your 1797 looks wonderful too ... I have been seeing this pattern over on Jeanette's blog. That book looks MOST interesting too!
ReplyDeleteDays do just fly by to quickly.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely two very different fabrics for your projects.
Perfect for toiletries.
Hope you source the right fabrics for your next round of 1797.
Nice when you find a good book.
Lots of nice work Michelle even though your time is short. Your 1797 is looking great. xx
ReplyDeleteyou have got a nice array of different projects.... I enjoy GN on tv too.... nice to hear the book is good... gosh I am doing so little reading these days - I just fall asleep!

Your applique flowers on the black and white prints is quite attractive.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects Michelle, I enjoy Granham Norton too, will look for that book. Spent a very happy hour on the back deck yesterday reading a book!
ReplyDeleteI can't picture Graham Norton as an author.... I'll add him to my "go find" list! Reading certainly takes a second seat to sewing for me.
ReplyDeleteof course - lovely projects
Oh how I love reading and seeing your Blog so inspirational. Also makes me feel so lazy.xx
ReplyDeleteNice post Michelle... always love my visits... xox
ReplyDeleteSome more beautiful stitching happening at your place and that book looks interesting. My book list seems to be increasing all the time LOL.
ReplyDeleteDays are defiitely better if you can squeeze stitching AND reading in :-) Sounds like a new author for me to hunt out! Your french general is looking lovely and nice little sneak peek at your secret sewing xx
