haha, you're showing off now, with spelling like that!!! lol...
well, to be honest, my time is very much not my own these days!! i'm catching sewing minutes here and there where time allows!!
Rachael came round with Phoebe today. boy!! do babies take up a lot of time!! wow!! you forget just how much!!, at least i have!! wow!!
so, here i am just now trying to catch up. (what you can't see in the picture is the famous glass of wine.) haha...
you probably think i'm a wino!! lol, i wouldn't blame you the amount of time i harp on about it grin... but i actually very rarely have anything due to my job and it's unsociable shift times, but i do like to relax with my sewing and a glass of Rosa to help me unwind, now and again!! tonight is 'now and again' :)
nearly done!! just a bit of machine sewing down of bits here and there, and it will very soon be in the post!

i love it, and was given it for the same thing during an intensive hand-sewing period. i used to smear it on and put a plaster over it. it used to draw out lots of nasties too.
wonderful stuff!
i hope you get it sorted soon. let it rest for a few days, or you'll just go round in circles and it will never heal..
i'm pleased you like the row, did you see page 25 too?
take care, love jacquie xxxx
meeeeee tonight at 10.30pm

Jacquie, make sure you take care of yourself too, not just everyone else. You always seem so busy!

Oh Jacquie thank you, the row is beautiful. I cannot believe the lovely work that you produce. I'm sure that between them they almost burst your ear drums. The Aussie row on its own is a chatterer. Will be interesting to see how the next few rows pan out.
Yes, my finger is starting to heal now, although it's still very painful, but at least I can now use the machine without dripping or oozing blood onto the fabric.
Have collected a few postcards of Eden, to include in the journal for boopers, so maybe I could go do that now.....

Here's what I have so far. My goodness houses are very difficult to replicate on fabric!
