I'm away with the Fairies !!!!!

On this WOYWW
Kitted up some Flower Fairy fabric :-
a tote of course and a shabby raggy chic cushion.
Also on my desk a few UFO's , found when looking for interfacing ,which I need before production can resume -----
and hereby hangs a tale !!!-------

We set off this morning to see Lily in her very first stage performance at her playgroup nativity and then to head to shops to get the elusive interfacing ---
well you know the song
"Four Wheels on my wagon and I'm still rollling along "---
(no age references please !!)
Well we ended up with three just outside Alford and we certainly weren't rolling along !!!!
Yup !the back passenger wheel decided to go it alone or was sulking cos it was so cold !!
Typically I forgot to take pics in the excitement !!
(excitement translates as giving hubby a hard time for not stopping sooner when the horrible noise came from the back --- "It's just the build up of ice "says he" and will melt as we go along "
Why don't men get it that we ladies are always right !!)

An angel in the form of Catherine,
who owns the fabulous jewellery shop, Gaelo,  in the Heritage Centre in Alford,
came to our rescue and took us into Alford to contact the garage .
Thank you so much Catherine xxxx

Eventually got home and never made it to see Lily so it was back to my workdesk,
aka the  kitchen table and do stuff !!!
Hence being away with the Fairies .

Daryl walked to the garage at Cushnie to get my car which couldn't be seen for the covering of snow ! So will try again tomorrow to get
interfacing and resume production !
And really if it hadn't been for the snow we could have been travelling at speed
when the wheel came off , so there's always a positive side to things .

Sew what was I up to today ???

Yet another bag and cushion !!!


A little "tartan" number this time.
Not the tote pattern -- another quick and easy bag to run up ,
cut to fit the piece of fabric I had.

More of the same vintage Laura Ashley,
the clour is the same , just a rubbish pic .
Just to finish snipping before it hits the washer----
the snipping takes longer than making it in the first place !!!!

Also working on  some Christmas decs but more about them another day.
Hope you're all cosy comfy

Measuring up !!!



Furry Boy , Buddy, wants to find the Girl with the Mostest !!!
But Muffin and Freebie are not impressed  with all this white stuff !!!

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!
Good job they're mainly black or we'd loose them in all this snow !

Wish you'd said this yesterday Buddy, 'cos we had a bit of a thaw last night and only have 19 inches on the table now !
But hope you like the snowy view up the hill .

I knocked off most of the icicles yesterday afternoon asthey started dropping and didn't want them to land on M & F !!!
Will take more pics during the week, but hopefully the worst of the snow is over for a while .

There'snow getting out of here again today !!!

Beautiful red sky in the morning ------
cleared twelve inches off the wheelie bin earlier and now ( 6.30 pm)
there's six inches back on it !!
Daryl did make it to work but my car is still snowed in at the local garage !!

So this is what is on my workdesk this



Another Shabby Raggy Cushion made from vintage (Circa 1980)
Laura Ashley fabric

Also two cutie little "safety pin " bags :-
can never find one when I need one so now have a place of their own !
Have enough fabric to make another six ,
 so some will be up for sale !
The fabric is patterned with an assortment of safety pins so you know what's in
the bag.

Still have a selection of Coca Cola fabric Squares to make into
" A well known phrase or saying ",
and a tapestry and blue velvet to make into another cushion .
Fun Fun Fun !!
