All that's planned is to finish the squab cover. If I get that done by lunchtime, maybe I will take the kids out for lunch.
They have been awesome... just keeping themselves occupied. Teenagers... mine are just LOVELY. Nice for a change I must say.
Now... a sneak peek at the squab cover:
Right, I shall bugger off and get the squab finished.
ONWARD...
Well the quilting on the front of the squab is taking longer than I thought it would. So... it's still not done.
The kids just got up... it's 12.17 am! What a life.
Right... back to it.
It's DONE:
2.00 pm: LUNCHTIME!
Well after making the squab, we had a very quiet afternoon. A thunderstorm too, which was neat. I LOVE storms.
Not huge, damaging storms of course, but nice little ones. *smiles*
We had chinese takeaways for dinner. It was YUK. We still have not found a nice chinese takeaway here. I think we have exhausted the options too I think. Bummer.
Hmmm... it's going to be a quiet evening too. Watching the telly. I could be sewing, but well... I did quite a bit today already.
Tomorrow I have another sewing job I must get done.
It's really great to hear how much you enjoy the company of your teenagers - it's an age that gets a bad image sometimes, but you've obviously got things right with your two. Must be all that experience with the first six! The squab cover looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is a squab when it's at home?
ReplyDeleteA Squab is a flat foam cushion, one that you put on chairs, loungers, in boats and so on. Go back to my post on Monday and you will see the new squabs we bought for the outdoor furniture.
DeleteWow Chris, when you do something it is always so much better than store-bought ! That really Rocks. It shows the pride you put into your home. You are so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to figure out what a squab was also. It's gorgeous, all the pops of colour you have about your home.
ReplyDeleteLooks great and much better than one you could buy.
ReplyDeleteLove the squab, you are so clever. In the UK a squab is a baby pigeon. I looked it up on google!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad I don't have baby pigeon's on my chairs! lol
DeleteI'd worked out what it was - we'd just call it a cushion I think. Wow that looks amazing! I wasn't expecting that, that's a really clever use of fabric. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI too wasn't expecting that fabric but WOW loving it and how nautical to match other nautical items you have which are equally as lovely! we have had heaps rain here too no thunder but the RAIN!!! It's me Blondie
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is awesome 😀
ReplyDeleteThe squab looks awesome Chris .... well done!
ReplyDeleteOh that's so cute! Do you run out and bring everything in when it rains or just let it get wet?
ReplyDeleteWhen not in use they will be stored in the 'squab box' that you can seejust behind the lounger. Julie ... I NEVER RUN!!! ha ha ha!
DeleteI *love* the squab cover, it's gorgeous!
