Wow....staged photos. Cloth draped casually over a cabinet door. I'm getting ahead of myself in the aspirational photograph stakes....I'm no David Bailey. I just thought....you come all this way and all you get is a bit of cloth and a pair of scissors lying on a table looking like a dogs dinner. You deserve better. So I tried, I did. The main focus here, the main evidence of my time spent working yesterday is the lace cloth. It is finished and damp stretched and just needs cutting from the scrim before I can use it. I love lace cloth, really love lace cloth....I am not best friends with my sewing machine but can find a little speck of love for it when I create this cloth. We will be doing more of this in Simply Stitch 3 and I plan to spend some time thinking hard about how I can mix this up a bit, add something else, refresh the idea.....I don't want to get stale and boring and predictable.
(what do you mean I already am!!??)
You must remember the cabinet? It's one of my new acquisitions, under used at present but I am waiting until I have been on holiday for the next stage of ''operation sort the house out after son moves out''. I can't face it yet. I can face the cabinet, oh yes no problem there. I just can't face the remaining cupboards that must be emptied, purged, cleaned etc etc before I am completely and convincingly ''sorted out''.
Just to say I may be a little late tomorrow. I have a nice man coming to attend to my non working kitchen lighting. I will no longer be cooking in the dark......it may also be bright enough to gauge how much muck has gathered since the lights went out too! Can't see, can't clean......
