It's getting there...

So this week I have been true to my word with concentrating on finishing, with no thought of a new project at all...

I continued with making some more little flowers. I didn't have a plan, design or layout in mind, just my usual kind of winging it, gut instinct kind of method!  I wasn't sure whether a minimal or full impact approach was required, so after a few blooms I tried a couple of layouts...




The second I think has real possibilities. So I will come back to that with a fresh eye, I have a feeling some embroidery will be required from me too ( oh dear, why do I dread sewing so)

I've also progressed more with my heathers cushion.  Normally I find the joining to be oh so tedious, but this one has been coming together quite nicely and not been a chore at all.


And I can see the finish line in sight, I could even pop its little pad in to see what it will look like, I just have the last overlap edge to complete, and add some buttons to fasten...


My original intention was to have a go at making a large fimo, decorative button for the front, but maybe a large flower, like on a lily pond, is the way to go? Hmmmm...? Any thoughts? ??

I had some 'happy mail' a little pack of buttons sent from IGer @handcraftedlove, I'm sure they will look lovely on a future project


And so for this weeks mood square. Where the majority of the week has been quite relaxed, and I had a great, positive annual review at work, a couple of stressy bits did creep in...


Red - beautiful hot sunny weather
Peach/pink - relaxation
Purple - unwanted stressiness

Nothingness...

My cushion inserts have arrived, so no more excuses, I need to start completing some projects now...


After having worked the Easter bank holidays, it meant I managed to get 3 lovely days off in a row.
Pure bliss to relax at home, with no plans, no pressure, just nothingness...
Ok, so we did do a bit of spring cleaning, and a couple of walks to start strengthening hubby's knee, but otherwise it was being sloth-like on the sofa in front of the tv...

I concentrated on one project, rather than dipping in and out, and finished the background to my green-toned square. It took a bit of adjusting to fit the pad, but its now ready for its spring flower decorations. I'm not sure whether i'll be sensible and plan, or if i'll dive straight in and make as i go...


This weeks mood square


Lilac for relaxation, interspersed with green for work in between.

Until next week...
