Busy Sundays

 Why is it that Sundays are always so busy? Mind you, I do feel like I have achieved a lot!

A couple more hexagons sewn today - Still trying to make up my mind about what they will eventually be, but Knitting bag is number one on the list of possibles right now.

Listed a pile of summer jumpers on e-bay for the 'traditionally built' ladies out there, as well as some beloved fabric, some almost vintage Rowan wool, and a load of Simpson's Toy figures - I have no idea why I had them for so long! - Links at the top of the page if you fancy an e-bay bargain! 

Then, Made a pair of curtains for my 14 year old Niece who lives next door - Her dad has been doing her room up for 6 years now, and tonight she finally gets to move out of the room she has been sharing with her 6 year old sister, she is VERY excited, and I have promised her I will blog about the room once she has 'sorted it out'

Tea is almost cooked - and I have another 50 granny squares to crochet for a baby blanket - not all tonight, but hoping to get another 10 done at least!

Also - After forgetting I had signed up for a Button swap, and getting a reminder from my swap partner, I have been thinking a great deal about what to make for her - I will be ready for a rest tomorrow!

Fancy that!

I can't believe almost a week has gone since I posted anything on my blog - it is amazing how you can fill your time and sometimes feel like you haven't actually done that much, but then on reflection you have achieved more than you thought!

My little e-bay shop is doing quite well, but I have to admit my mothers wardrobe has supplied most of what I have sold so far. She is addicted to clothes shopping, and hiding her purchases from my dad in their original packing with the labels - it has proved a little gold mine, and she reckons I have enough to keep me in business for the next 6 months!

I have been very industrious in the sewing room making things for my Folksy shop - nothing sold to date but I did feature on someones 'Folksy Friday' which was a total buzz!

While pottering away in the sewing room my mind fills with ideas and wonderful things to blog - unfortunately I don't make a note of them so consequently can't remember what the idea was! I bet I am alone in this...who am I kidding!

Lots of my Grandma's favourite pearls of wisdom keep popping in there as well, so to help you through the long bank holiday weekend here are a few of them...

"If I had a new feather, would my old hat do?"

Only the mugs get used - the best china stays on the shelf

Do your best - more than that even Angels can't do

Look after your hands - they are precious - and one day they will look after you!

No photo's from me today - the weather has reminded my of my love of Fancy Birds - and other people do them so well!
