The in between

​we have entered the week between Christmas and new year. Lots of us don’t know what day we are in. 

Me most of all. I frequently have to ask what day it is 

But no matter what day, things must be done 


We finally had a nice day. A perfect day to dry washing. It’s been dried, brought in , folded and put away. 

All in the one day  something that doesn’t happen during the winter months 


Once again I needed to add more colours to the mix  I cut up the squares last night and since then I’ve been sewing them, getting them ready to add to the quilt top  

I still have lots of fabric that I can use. 

But it is a great stash buster 

I’m still loving the slow hand stitching  

It’s been exactly what I needed the last few weeks, during the madness of Christmas 

I hope you have all recovered, and are now just taking it easy until the new year

  2. Lovely to be able to hang laundry outside. I'd love the option, because I like the fresh smell when you bring it in.

  3. My washing dried today. Not much sunshine but there was a good breeze. I've really got to start my winter crochet. Ready for next Xmas lol

  4. That hexie project looks like a lot of preparation. Do you cut the patches with scissors of a cutting wheel? Do you also cut your own papers?

    1. I have bought the hexi papers. They’re not expensive and I use each one at least three times before they’re unusable
      I cut the squares, then pin the paper to each square
      Then I just trim off the corners really to shape the fabric and then start sewing.
