August seemed to whizz by and here we are in September already. August was a good month for visits and outings. My sewing machine was away for a repair for quite a bit of the month but my older Elna machine enjoyed being pressed into service. My machine is now back with a new touch screen and is stitching perfectly and I hoping this weekend will be a good sewing weekend. September is National sewing month and I plan to complete my red blouse and make a dress. The blouse is almost done, with just the sleeves to finish off. This month shouldn't be too busy and I'm hoping to complete a couple of projects.
I've decided this month to do a little work on my hand stitching projects each day starting from today. I plan to stitch on my embroidered table cloth this week and switch to the Star Trek cross stitch next Saturday. Having had a rest from my table cloth I'm itching to get back to working on it. I have one side left to complete. Here is where I've started today. I'll be doing some more stitching this evening.
This morning I had several household jobs to do. Unfortunately I slept badly last night and so everything took longer than it should. Over the day I've been taking lots of rests and in the afternoon I decided I needed a sewing hit so I pulled out more yellow scraps. I'm sewing the scraps into 8.5 inch squares and will use them to make a scrappy quilt. I managed to make 4 squares of yellow and now I only have some very small scraps left in the yellow bag. Sticking to sewing one colour meant I didn't create as much chaos as I did last week.
Tomorrow I'll attack the green or blue scraps and if I'm feeling less tired I want to finish the cat cushions I started last week.
This week I am also planning on finishing my gold work sea horse. I've done some work on this that I haven't shared, mostly because I keep forgetting to take a photo. This is how you last saw it.
I'll take a photo when I get it out to work on, which will be later in the week.
