Cleaning and gardening....pretty much!

Not a lot of quilting to report. Tidying the garden, surrounds and house for a morning coffee is taking longer than I like, throw in a few days of drafting the lambs off the ewes to wean them and only little trading table projects have been possible to squeeze in.

I have really jumped into making these nice tea towels, I know that I can happily keep these if they don't sell...make that REALLY happily keep them, I have a penchant for burning, staining or losing my nice tea towels. I still find a lot of use for them, even with the dishwasher.

I used up all the blue curtains so I dug out this yellow, another op shop buy, and there are metres of it. i think I had visions of covering deckchairs or just that it would be handy "one day"-well it's day has arrived!

I thought if I was putting the label on to jazz then up, then I should add some of the appropriate fabric to make it legitimate, what do you think?

Also made about 20 more little chooks. Used some of my chenille stores, I am very attached to the lemony cream one-so are my kids!

These projects have all used scraps and recycled unwanted items. Great fun and no hesitation in chopping and trying new things, makes them a joy to sew.

Off to school storytime, DD at school for her 5th day in a row which is just the bees knees, can you see his knees on my echium?
