STEW'S LAST FULL WEEK AT HOME

 

Well here we are.

It's the start of a new week, and the last week Stew will be home on sick leave.

He goes back to work after Easter, so 8 more days till then.

Between now and then I will be doing the Cambridge Trash 'n' Treasure market next Sunday.  Lacy will be helping me again.

With that in mind, I'm working on having a good selection of Tote Bags to take with me.

ABOVE:  I am ready for Craft Group this afternoon.  I've got two Tote Bags on the go.  I can't quilt them down at the craft room, as Mc Dreamy won't do the quilting stitch I use, so I've got them quilted prior to going down there.

One of them is a 'repurposed' Braid Runner that I made a little while ago.  It was wonky as hell, and got put in the 'HELL NO' box!  It is perfect for a Tote Bag though, as no one is going to see it's wonky.  It's actually going to look amazing.

And that's me for now... catch ya later.

ONWARD...

12 noon.

I'm down in the Village craft room.

I've had to walk home THREE times already.

Mc Dreamy ...OMG... won't even do NORMAL stitches now!!! Or do reverse.  I am BEYOND ANGRY.

I've rung Neil at Sewing machine world... and he said to return it to them and they will do an URGENT look at it! That will be the FOURTH time he's been sent back to the technician.  

I had to take him back to the house and pick up Baby Brother, so I can actually  sew something today. 

4 pm.   I got two Tote Bags finished at Craft Group today.  That was in between having to traipse home 4 times for this, that, and the other thing.  *sigh*

ABOVE: That was the Braid Runner that was a bit 'wonky' at one end.  It's come up GORGEOUS as a Tote Bag!  I'm rather thrilled with it, and very tempted to keep it for myself.  But, just how many bags does one need?

I'll sell it for sure.  Someone else will love it just as much as me.

ABOVE: A happy, bright Farmyard Tote Bag.  

After I arrived home from Craft Group, we jumped in the car and took Mc Dreamy BACK to Sewing Machine World.  Neil will return him to the technician tomorrow, with an URGENT sign on him.

When I dropped him back to the shop, Neil did a pretend 'ducking' motion... and said he was expecting a flogging! lol

I told him he was lucky I walked the machine back into the shop, instead of sending it through the window!  He knows the story about my Husqvarna machine from YEARS ago.  If you have been reading long enough, you too will know that story. 

I'm not inclined to go over it again. I'm kinda sick to death of sewing machine sagas.

The ladies at Craft Group are eagerly awaiting the next 'episode'.  I'm not even amused.

Now that I am sitting down, I am going to take an hour to chill out, then I'm going to make a double batch of savoury cheese scones.  Some for tonight, and the rest to go in the freezer.

It's been so lovely being able to grab a couple out of the freezer now and then for afternoon tea, or a side with our main meal. 

Scones got made, and are now in the freezer.

We watching mindless TV till bedtime... which is now.  (10.10 pm).  Though, I'll give Stew half an hour to get to sleep before I  join him, as he tosses and turns and does my head in!  That's when he's closest to being stabbed 16 times in the chest!  lol
