A Brand New Week.....


A brand new week has arrived and with that a new feeling of calmness and serenity.  That may well be because I have 2 weeks off work to get some R & R and I have pottered for most of the morning just doing what takes my fancy.


I have prepared meatballs for dinner


Which are cooking away in the slow cooker - I just love the smell of food gently simmering away - It helps to make a house a home......


As promised from my last post here is my newest furniture find - It is a gorgeous pedestal which is in need of some TLC and some shabbying up.  This will be my project for this week.


It was another busy weekend in our house but I did spend a few hours each evening to work on this Rosalie Quinlan stitchery. 


This is her National Breast Cancer Fundraiser Stitchery and it is a lot of fun to stitch.


I love the fact that there is no tracing as the pattern is screen printed onto the hanky linen as part of the pattern pack. 



Today I have a friend coming over to visit so I will be hand stitching these folded pieces of spotty loveliness and hopefully turning them into something pretty.


And I will be doing a little pattern writing too.

I am joining up with The Haby Goddess today in her Make Grow Thrift Monday.

Wow Fee, how lovely that you get to spend your time off working on all these crafts and projects.
Hope you have a wonderful 2 weeks off.

Mmm...meatballs - yum! Also, I love the stitchery that you are working on - such a gorgeous design. Enjoy your time off!

looks like lots of yummy cooking happening at your place.
Great progress on your Rosalie quinlan stitchery. I have hit a wall with mine and was considering unpicking as I am unhappy with the colour cotton I chose.
Love your flower brooches.
