Me and my big mouth!

My boss finished yesterday and isn't back until Monday, there were a few things she needed before she finished so the past few days have been hectic. This morning I said to TVC, these next 2 days should be nice and quiet... yeah right.

The cleaner informed me 1 of the toilet seats is broken can I sort it, yeah sure I am maintenance... the photocopier has stopped working, I have called for an engineer and put a note on the machine to let people know, still they are asking have I called for an engineer? when is he coming out? whinging because they can't use it, well what can I do? so much for a quiet day

Did they find it?

Yes, damaged fetlock!

Here she is in her folded state with my machine on the air lift.

There is a chest of drawers underneath on the left hand side. That bit flips up as well as another side table on the right and when you pull it forward, the whole back comes up on a double gate-leg to provide support for a quilt etc.

I can also have the machine at table top level to make one big flat sewing area or slightly higher so I can free arm.

I am so very excited to make something on it tonight. I shall post more pics then. View attachment 352925

Now you need a quilting room ;-)

Now you need a quilting room ;-)

I have a quilting area which is my my hall which you can see there. When FT has finished uni and left home our joint study will become my quilting room. However when she is at uni, the table is all on castors and will be in the centre of my living room when I am using it.

I'm on holiday

Yay!!! Enjoy

For some reason I keep thinking that this weekend is the Bank Holiday weekend.

Lots of peeps are talking about holibobs, perhaps I should go on holiday. I know somewhere just right, with a sunny garden and two cats.

That is a serious bit of kit! Some years back a friend asked me to go to an international quilting exhibition in Birmingham - it wasn't really my thing, but it was a chance to spend some time with a distant friend so I said yes. What a revelation! The 'quilts' were just magnificent, in fact it reinforced my belief that sewing and related crafts are a vastly underrated form of [woman] art. Yes, I know men do sometimes do it, but it's often dismissed as mere hobbycraft because it's largely women who specialise in it.

My favourites were the narrative pieces, like this one called Nightingale's Nest.

I love all forms of quilting. I too have been to quilt shows and I am blown away by the intricacies of them. Mine are a far far cry from that sort of quilt, but here a couple I have made.

I went up the garden earlier to see what Schrodie the kitten was doing. He was laying by the pond just amused by what was going on. When he saw me he came over and had tummy tickles until he started biting and clawing, eventually something attracted his attention and he went over into some long -ish grass. He came back chasing something and they both landed sploosh in the pond, he was up to his armpits in water but he didn't seem to mind, he was too interested in the frog.
A little while later he was after the damsel flies.

I'm now jobless
I kind of damaged a one-year-old sprinter while reversing into a tight loading area, scraped it all down the side Bossman wasn't too impressed and really wasn't happy when I told him I wasn't going to be accepting the new contract, I've decided that I want to do something I know I'll be happy doing. We both agreed that it was just best for my temp contract to be ended early.

I need to change my brake pads on both car and bike today, Pop to the bank and hide from GF until she calms down
