We've had quite a lot of mess and inconvenience while our bathroom and laundry was being done, but I still found time to do some stitching. As much as I enjoy painting, my poor arms need a break. With secret sewing under control I've been working on another Irish Circles block. I really love this one.
And indulging my new found love of selvedges. These ones are Christmassy.
Better show you a pic of the bathroom. I am so happy with how it turned out, it was a bit nerveracking choosing the tiles and fittings, and hoping they would all work together in the end. Unfortunately we will need a lot more rain for our tanks before we have too many baths!
The laundry is almost done too. The walls are finished but I have 7 doors and architraves to paint yet.
Have a lovely day, hope you find a moment to enjoy some stitching.

ReplyDeleteYears ago when we stayed overnight at a chook farm, the hosts were so happy that recent rains had topped off their water tanks too. A nice stay - very fresh eggs for breakfast and soft rain water to bathe in.
Your block looks gorgeous. The bathroom came out really well it looks lovely, what a lovely deep looking bath. Hope the rain leave s Newcastle and heads your way soon, so you can have long hot baths
