Hand Stitching Dresdens and Laundry Makeover

Hi there, I hope you have had a good week....

Mine has been same old same old at work, I think I am

suffering the mid term blues and am already counting

down the 5 weeks to the next holidays....

It may be because the last holidays were so busy planning

a 21st that I don't feel as though I have had one...

We have had some more cooler weather this week with snow

 again on Wednesday, we had rain, wind, hail, sunshine, sleet

 and snow all in one crazy day and that night on the way

home from stitching group we had a thick fog.....

Talk about all the seasons in one day! 

I started hand stitching my Dresden's onto the background

 blocks on Wednesday night and enjoyed a snuggle under a

 quilt whilst finishing them off last night... 

The colours are so pretty and I am really pleased with my

first ever Dresden's, I am sure there will be more to come....

6 in total! All stitched and ready to be sewn together....

I am hoping to get to that over the weekend, I was planning a

 trip to Narromine for the weekend but my friend has been

 called away to a funeral so I will enjoy a couple of days at

 home relaxing....As if!

My laundry has been in my thoughts a lot this week, I have

 purchased a condenser dryer that is on it's way at the moment

 and have been pondering the layout of my laundry when it

arrives. I also have a Robin Hood ironing cupboard that I

want to install on the wall.....

Well I don't ever seem to do things in halves and this has

now blown out to a full laundry remodel plan that I will share

 with you another time involving a new front loader machine

and some custom made benches, the first job will be to remove

the plain door that is hinged and rehome the old original

panelled door that I removed from my lounge room

 to the laundry so that all the doors in the house

 match except the front and back....

It will be converted to a slider so that I can maximise the

space in there and I am considering hanging it as a barn 

style door but am still in the planning stages at the moment...

 I will also replace the handle when the time comes......

Watch this space!!!!

Definitely a new WIP......

I hope you all have a great weekend and find

time to fit some stitching and relaxing in at some time....

Until next time, Happy Stitching
