Packing

Tonight I fly the coup and go on a crafting weekend with nine other ladies 

I only know the one. She’s the organiser. She will be picking me up around eight tonight 

I’ve also got food.  We are all rosted on for meals. My partner, whom I don’t know, has volunteered to do but all tne ingredients for our meal. 

I’ve been consigned to papadums, we are having an Indian chicken dish, biscuits ( cookies) to have with coffee, and lollies (candy). 

This all has to fit in her car. Fingers crossed 

We all had to make,or buy something simple. They will be put into bags and we each get one as a gift bag. 

I can’t wait to see what everyone has come up with 

I’m taking my sock knitting box, everything I need is in that. 

A bag of acrylic yarn. So if I fancy I’ll make more Izzy dolls

And of course the current cardigan I’m working on 

But if none of these interests me. I prepared some stitching 

I cannot tell you long this pattern has been sitting 

It was mixed in with ones I had already finished so I’m using that as an excuse 

I used my light box and traced the pattern on. The pen is one that vanishes when ironed 




I used the scrap pieces of fabric to draw them on. I’ve also got the iron on stabiliser to help it all stay nice for me to work with 




This is the packet. They turn it into a quilt 

I won’t follow their pattern. I sort it out as I go along I will use it as a guide. 



So I’m packed and ready to go. 

I’ve got hubbys washing up to date 

I’ve got chicken wings left over from last night for his dinner 

And the house is nice and tidy. He really won’t have to do much except feed himself for three days

I hope I enjoy the weekend. I really need to have a nice relaxing break.
