Double trouble!!

When is this rain ever going to stop. It has poured since the end of last week, we're not use to it, and as much as we need it, Im over it!
Items I have painted a few days ago, are still wet, so I thought it was time to dig out the sewing machine. Im actually nearly set up in my 'new' office-craft space, so setting up the machine was fairly easy. It doesnt mean Im not fighting for room to move, but it is getting better to manage, here is a sneak peek!


This gorgeous fabric is to die for,its called 'Marple',a Bernard Wardle barkcloth. This particular piece (like many others I have), is a vintage curtain remnant from my stash! The doily was from another stash! I backed the cushion with calico for contrast.



Too cute to be alone, so I made two!
The perfect pair!


Off to the studio they go, you will find them here*.

LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES....

I dont want to sound like a whinger, but if it didnt rain at my house for a few months I would be happy!
I have had rain pouring in on my verandahs, yes you know ,the ones with all the junk on them? And my studio / dumping ground out the back isnt much better! As soon as the sun comes out, I forget about the leaks, until next time....The past few days, I havent acheived much, no painting, no cleaning, no sewing, time has stood still!
But today is a new day, the sun is shining, the cockies are screeching, and Im ready for action.So keep nagging me Coll (Collsgarden), it might just get me going!
