We dropped my mother off back home this morning
My sister is back, so, if there is a problem she can get there in five minutes
It’s been hard having someone here all the time, when your used to being alone more often than not
I realised I treasure my alone time.
As it’s rude to not speak to someone when they’re with you, I choose to work on stitcheries.
You don’t follow a pattern or count so perfect to do while still having conversations
The hardest part was trying to choose the colours
I’ve finished all the pieces in the pattern. I’ve even made extras. I’ve sewn the boarders to stop them fraying. I’m going to have to concentrate while making this quilt top.
Lots of mathematics and playing around to get them into some sort of top.
I’ve also worked this one in blue just like the pic on the pattern.
I’ve traced two more.
I’ll use different colours on these.
I think I’m going to turn them into a hangings to gift at Christmas

It really is brainless work that is soothing.

No thinking
No counting
No swearing because you have dropped a stitch
lol
I’ll get round and catch up with what’s happening in your lives. I did occasionally pop in to keep an eye on you all
I love hand-sewing. I have sat doing two major repair jobs over the last couple of weeks and it hasn't been a chore at all.
ReplyDeleteWith the kids long gone I don’t have the amount of mending as I used to. I love hand sewing too. Very relaxing
DeleteI find I always do more work when other people are around lol.. K can do the socialising.
ReplyDeleteLovely handwork š
My aunt rang to tell me mum said I work too much. They both have told me off and to take it easy lol
DeleteYou want to see people.....but your space is your space!!
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteThat will be an awesome quilt and wall hangings! By the way, I made a batch of those strawberry cream muffins you gave the recipe for a while back. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you liked them.
DeleteUnfortunately they’re so yummy you can’t stop eating them
I can hear the relief at getting your space back. Duty done for your mom, and I expect you gave her a nice time, too.
ReplyDeleteI think she liked it here. I’m sure if she didn’t she probably won’t tell me.
DeleteShe’ll be back at the end of November as my sister goes overseas again
