I rather thought they might be 'cuddle' cushions rather than for sitting on!!Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Not finished anything yet, may have something to do with the long weekend in Whitby I've just come back from!
Well, it does you good to get out and see a band or three, and bop til the small hours, doesn't it?
I did cut out a top to take, but maybe the day before wasn't the wisest of moves! Never mind, I'll work on it this weekend.2024 Fashion on the Ration - 10/66 coupons used

This is seriously intricate fiddly stuff. Congratulations
On a cruise some years ago at the end of about 8 sessions we had made a pair of silver wire drop earrings in chain maille(I managed a second pair for a present.) However making all those exactly-the-same- size rings, and closing them was too much for my brain so I haven't done any more!! (Ah, and now I remember the tutor had to be taken off the ship whilst we were still in Germany for a major op!)Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

I love the covers and the bracelet.I’ve managed to hang three pictures. Feeling pleased with myself. I’ve only got about 100 more to go. 🤣🤣
I have managed to put up my smoke detector - with my new drill. It was fun. 😁😁
I’ve started sewing another section for the quilt. And was due to collect my new car today. It’s not going well.I’ve started some bunting. I will need some backing fabric for some of the flags. I reused some old dress fabric but ran out so have been as good as I could be.201 / 250 projects£92.92 / £250 spent so far.
