..... can you tell what it is yet? No? Me neither, which is a bit worrying, as the assortment of fabrics and embellishments has to be turned into a wallhanging with the theme of "Delights of the Sea" by the end of May. Every time I enter a competition, I wonder why I put myself under the pressure of a deadline - but I never learn my lesson and keep doing it!
However, I shall be as snug as bug while I am sewing, as I have a wonderful log-burning stove in my studio - it was so windy yesterday, it was burning well. I am so lucky to have this dedicated space to work in. For years Malcolm had said that one day we would buy a house with outbuildings which could be converted into a workroom for me (the architect called it a studi on on the plans and the name stuck!) so you can imagine how thrilled I was when we moved here just over two years ago to a house with outbuildings, which were converted into an office and workroom for me. It's great that I can just shut the door on the mess the evidence of crerativity and head back in to the house at the end of the day - and Malcolm is delighted that there is no thread trailed through the house!
I sit at the kitchen table to do my posts (oh the joys of wi-fi broadband), but right now chaos reigns, as Malcolm has started fitting out new kitchen - this is a little sneak peak. The colour is actually a little darker than it looks in the photo - it is called French Grey. It will be super to have lots of storage space and the cooker which we bought when we moved in will finally be pushed right back against the wall - at the moment it sticks out, as the existing base units were installed a bit squinty and the space narrows towards the back.
