UP UP AND AWAY



                                            Yesterday, this was my view in the afternoon. 


 
 
With everything I needed returning home from not so sunny Qld.
( Michelle, I bought that book at Maroochydore airport, couldn't get it at Tullamarine before I left.)
 
 
 
We had been up in Maloolooba for a family wedding near Caloundra
 
I basted these Lucy Boston pieces on the trip up.
 
 
 
But I didn't get much stitching done while I was up there as the light was poor and I wasn't happy with the stitching I did. Now I cannot find the thread I stitched the boot with. 
 
 
 
 
Within half an hour of being back home I had unpacked, put a load of washing on, and been down to the local deli for some dinner supplies. I must admit that I am not feeling very well today as I think the air con has affected my throat and chest. I actually slept for a few hours last night which was a bonus . So, today I stitched a little more of that stitchery and I have decided not to reverse stitch the boot. I do, however, need to hunt through my threads for another one similar to the boot thread.
 
Today, I had a BIG parcel arrive from Barb. Wooohooo! That put a smile on my dial!
 
 
 
I promise I shall not open it until my birthday but I am quite curious .
 
Angel Blessings.

  1. You sound like me Ondrea - I have run out of a variegated thread I was using on an embroidery and I haven't been able to find it in the 2 shops here. You are very good not opening that parcel - sure to be a beautiful present!!

  6. The boot is coming along quite nicely - as soon as you pick another color, you'll find the first one! I like the Lucy Boston blocks, but have managed to resist making any. I like your fabrics, though.
