Yesterday was my Nanna and Pops 60th wedding aniversary - i hope craigie and i make it to 60th - Nanna and Pop are so cute - Pop bought Nanna a lovely tablecloth at the local craft store (big claps for him!) and when they heard what it was for - threw in a crocheted coat hanger which i think is really lovely! they also took each other to lunch at the club - i really wish i could have been there to make them a nice dinner - they got 2 days of phone calls instead! Poor Nanna has bronchitis though - i really wish they were closer to town....i worry. Monet and i are going to make them an applique hand - been dying to make one - trace the outline of M's hand onto baking paper - choose a material i love (been trying to find a vintage bush one - no luck) applique onto another material (i think i will actually use calico) and frame. will try and label it too. Though im leaning towards a embroidery hoop, not a frame.
Also on the list is Angies Heart applique top - she has a interview on the day of her birthday.....3 days before valentines day.....so will get her a little bonds singlet/cami and sew either a heart on in material - or some buttons - i will hand sew the buttons all on though. Labour of love!
mmmm Blogging at work.....bit naughty though i did deserve a rest with all this procedure updating - and im trying to avoid brain fry!
