Blogtoberfest day 27 - my week in Instagram

A fairly quiet week on IG the past 7 days. In fact, no cats until late last night!!!

Hand drawing graph paper for a quilt plan.  Before I knew you could download sheets of it from Incomptech.com. Which is genius!

The beginnings of the Anderson shelter project I shared a few days ago.


Inappropriate work shoes! I thought I'd broken my pinkie toe kicking the bed last week.  I don't think I have but the shoes I can comfortably wear are limited!

Hand quilting a quilt!! My first.  I've done about a quarter of it now - it's quite fun once you begin to embrace your imperfect stitches!

Rain necessitated even more inappropriate work footwear!

A last cuddle for Chook and her favourite pony, Fudge, yesterday. The owner of her riding school is retiring (she is 77!) and the stables are closing.  Yesterday was Chook's last day and we're all a bit sad over the whole affair.  It's not all bad, though. We're going back to her original school tomorrow for a test run. Her first instructor is back and the arenas are all newly surfaced and extended (our 2 reasons for leaving in the first place) so fingers crossed it goes well!

I am coming back as a cat. That is all.

So another busy week ends. I've sewn today with my extra hour since the clocks went back but can't show you yet - Chrimbo pressies!!

    Could have told you that you can download graph paper - in various sizes, home school moms know these things.... Ouch on the toe, hope it heals quickly and the new/old school works well.

    No such thing as imperfect stitches when you use perle...that's exactly how it should look...great job!

    How did the Chook's presentation go?

    Aren't the old stables closer to you all too?:)

    I think I need some shorter Dr. Martins!:)

    I've got an Anderson shelter in my garden. It's been raised to ground level but I use it for the bikes.

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
