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.
Hugs - Fee X

What lovely embroidery! Those meatballs would go down very well here tonight! Yummy!
I love cooking in my slow cooker - everything smells so yummy and tastes so good! I can't wait to see what you're doing with all your projects. Your little quilt is darling!
May you have a peaceful and relaxed two weeks off Fee, with lots of stitching and creative time. ♥
...and I made it home just in time!! It was a short visit but a sweet one!
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.
Thank you for playing along this week and sharing what you're up to. x
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.
