it's beginning to look a bit like christmas....


We put up a tree this weekend. A dead branch actually. We have a christmas tree in a pot but it gets a bit sad if we bring it inside for too long and Archer was desperate for some decorations. It looks a little bit sparse in this photo but we are slowly adding more, today we made a yo-yo garland and strung some coloured popcorn together. Gingerbread cookies are on the agenda too, just not today - it's too too hot to turn the oven on. We had better not put too much on it, what a disaster it would be if the whole thing toppled over....

straight stitch only

My usual sewing machine went berserk this week. So I have had to use the old Singer machine, it limits me to straight stitch. Luckily for me I can still make my quilted stuff. That's a red zippered purse I made this morning. I love it! This one has a dodgy zip so I will keep it for myself but I will so be making more of these.

And this one's for sale.
