Morning all, quilt class today, so that should be a good laugh and a giggle.
Sun is shining, if a bit breezy but this should dry the land a bit. Hoping to start in earnest on the allotment next week
Have a good day everyone

Nothing much to report, might go out for lunch
Have a good day everyone

All I will say, is that you will love the final

Morning all, another sunny day, could get used to this.
Another day taking it easy, the muscles in my chest and shoulder seem to be recovering well. Making in roads to outstanding craft projects.
Have a great day everyone

Both are beautiful, love the 2nd one, might pinch the idea for using up my stash, if you don't mind

Thank you, was unsure about it, but now all joined together, rather pleased with it

Thank you, and I hope so, going to back it so that it can be used as a floor quilt should there be a "patter of tiny feet"

Love my kindle Paperwhite, I find it easier on my eyes to read than books.
Knitted a cover for mine to protect it for when it's in my rucksack

Morning all, frosty start to the day. This is the quilt I'm working on for my friend's wedding present, picture taken before the boarder was added. Now just to quilt.
Today going to start off broad beans and peas in pots ready to plant out later this month.
Have a good day everyone

Everyone was writing England off after Indua posted such a big total.
As you say pity about the result.
Who do you think will win the final? I'm hoping New Zealand, but the favourites must be India

Thank you.
The day they announced their engagement, my quilt mag arrived with a sheep quilt on the front.
My friend breeds and shows sheep, it just seemed the ideal present for her and her future hubby, who is also a farmer. So yes fingers crossed for a productive day

Thank you, board game cafe would be better for me as well

Was certainly a nail biting match

Games cafe sounds fun and interesting

Morning all, absolutely chucking it down and it looks set for the day.
Made big in roads, yesterday, to the quilt I'm making for a friend's wedding at the end of May.
Hoping to get the top finished today as I'm banned from painting for the foreseeable.
Have a good day everyone

Morning all, going to be taking it easy over the next few days after my trip to A&E with chest pains due to pulled chest muscles. So no more painting for me for a while, going to spend some time in my sewing room finishing off a quilt for a friend's wedding present
Have a good day everyone

Been discharged, muscular pain. I'm very left handed and we've been doing loads of painting so pulled the muscles in my chest and shoulder. So all OK, but good to get checked out

04.03.2026 12:21 ๐Ÿ‘ 5 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Morning all, well today has not gone as planned, currently in A&E being checked out because of chest pains ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Would be an interesting combination. Would make a colourful jacket

Morning all, final coat of emulsion on walls and ceiling for the stairs today. Then onto the hall, it's been a mammoth task painting the stairs and hall, but it will be worth it in the end. Once all this is finished I can concentrate on the allotment.
Enjoy your day

If the weather was as good as ours, you picked a good day for the allotment. I spent the day tidying the garden at home. Was good to be out and about

My dad used to call textured wallpaper and woodchip, "donkey sick" dont know why, but it seemed apt.
Think we all, at some point, had a home that the previous owners covered the walls in the stuff, then painted over it with gloss paint.

Morning all, going to make most of the fine weather, so while OH preps the walls on the stairs ready to paint tomorrow, I'm going to spend some time in the garden weeding and having a bit of a tidy up
