Went to the hospital with Jon for his CT scan... we were not in there long as Jon was in a lot of pain... they had to cut it short as he was going into spasms. There was me thinking I could do some stitching as he would be in there ages!! ha ha!! But dont worry... we stopped off in the hospital cafe and after Jon had a coffee and cake he was feeling a little better. We went home and ha ha basically done nothing for the rest of the day!! Terrible really...
I thought no do the washing and changing the beds tomorrow! Well I think I will put them off until Thursday now as we have the hospital again tomorrow. Its going to be a quick visit tomorrow I think as Jon is in no mood to be causing himself any more pain. After that if Jon is up to it we will pop into town to meet up with my parents for coffee and chat... if not we will go home. That is our day tomorrow!
Today when we got home I have to tell you I got side tracked.. its just terrible I know. It was Jon's fault as I was flicking through all the wonderful books he bought me for my birthday...
Remember this one...
Well I found something I would like to do in it for my mum's table... Ok in the book its a quilt but I am adapting it and only doing 3 designs for a table runner.. hope it turns out ok?
This is it...
I however have decided to do it in pretty bright colors!...
Here I have started...
I started with the applique bits first, ready to be stitched here after applying the 'magic'!
I have stitched this one, picked the colors and drawn the design on ... ready to start stitching....
Oooh yes I have started stitching....
I think I read somewhere that you can fill areas with colored pencils.... thinking of just filling in the bee hive with a colored pencil? What do you think?
I will be taking this one to the hospital as I know I will get some flowers done or something else whilst Jon is being seen.
I started this and to be honest I am finding the whole process really relaxing... and I love the quick results too. It will be my first table runner and my first applique stitching thing too... quite a bit project really.... for me!
As some of you know I am a member of a Facebook stitching group and we recently had an exchange/swap thing.. and I wanted to show you what I was sent as I love it. I think its what you call a biscorn? I have never made one and think its lovely. I put the little fob on my car keys! Really pretty you think?
This is what I sent the lady for the exchange/swap...
The lady I sent it to loved what I made... makes me happy! :)
So that is me about done...
