Oooow...playing!!!

Never thought I'd do it...but I finally took the plunge and bought a sewing machine!!!

I am always so overwhelmed by the gadgetiness of these creatures, so I just kept it simple. A few fancy stitches, back and forth lever and a foot pedal lol

And I have to say I'm loving it :D (It has threading instructions drawn on the machine lol)

I had started this cushion cover years ago, but my son "grew out of it" before I got chance to finish it...so perfect project to play with my new machine.

I have only done straight lines so far, but it is so much quicker than hand stitching(the quilting is still hand sewn....straight lines is boring)

I will be sending this to a far of friend who needs a hug right now. She hugs Donkeys at every opportunity, and I thought she would be able to hug these two when she is unable to get near the real thing :D

Enjoy...now go play :D XXX

Busy in the garden...

Typical, just get back to my blog and the sun comes out...not to mention yet another school break :/

I was inspired to invite a new friend to visit my garden today. Her name is Maeve.

 She is a very elegant creature (though I suspect she may be hiding quite a dark side)

 Watching her flit around the bushes I stated thinking she may be some kind of Banshee....

 Maeve was very enamoured with Hortense's Pink roses...

and even popped in for a chat with the tiny spiral hare that lives on my mantel.

I have no idea how long she is staying, but she seems comfortable enough for now.

Roo is settling in nicely too :D

She loves playing fetch...

 Below is a pic of the field that we walk in near our home.

Wouldn't suspect this is in the middle of the city would you?

 And this is Roo learning to chill on a day out lol

Lasted all of 5 minutes before she brought me a stick to throw

Hope your all having a lovely time whatever your up to :D

Enjoy :D XXX
