Finally back to work today after a lovely break from the sewing machine to be at home. My youngest started full time school today after being only part time last term - which means I will now be child free for a good part of each day - not really quite sure how I feel about that - the start of a new era!
I was able to spend most of the day at my workshop which has been seriously neglected over the holidays with many rolls of fabric just waiting to be turned into curtains and blinds by yours truly. My OH made a new sign to go out on the main road over Christmas - it bought in one passing customer today - lets hope for many more! She wanted some cowboy fabric - didn't really like the one I had so guess where I suggested......answers on a postcard please!!! Said I would be more than willing to run up any of that fabric - in fact I love working with CK so much that I would probably would not have charged her (joke!)
This is a little blind I made today for my new fabric showroom next door to the workshop - it is from Vanessa Arnothnutt - again, lovely stuff!
On the home front we have a problem - on the coldest day of the year so far our boiler had deceided to pack up so we are freezing our little socks off tonight! As I type I have a scarf and bodywarmer on with fingerless gloves all while waiting for my electric blanket to reach maximum temperature....never mind - all good for the calorie consumption!
More photos of the workshop on the next post as I can't seem to load more than 2 this evening - purposly took my camera to work today so I could show you all around! 8(.
Spoke to the lovely MelMel tonight and very much looking forward to her visit down south on Friday - must get tidying!!!
