We sold our house in only a few days, but won't be moving into the Downer house until August 3. I absolutely can't wait - this living life in limbo thing is really getting me down. I miss not having my dollies, and I miss not being able to post about them.
I've had heaps of time to do hand stitching though - I decided this year to enter items for sale in the Canberra Quilters' Show sales room. It's been heaps of fun, but my sashiko stitch isn't getting any better (and boy, it needs work). I had to withdraw my big quilt from the show - I injured my back last week, and machine sewing isn't possible right now. It was a very low moment when I made that decision.
On the left are the finished panels for the pincushions, and on the right are the shoulder bags - unstitched so far.
This morning I went op shopping before I went to the markets for fruit and veg. God bless you YMCA. You always have the best stuff. Today's loot is:
-
a JAJ Pyrex round casserole dish (they had a whole set of three of these, but the smaller two were in really bad nick);
-
an orange Pyrex Agee large pie dish;
-
and a Pyrex (USA) oval casserole in the snowflake design WITH LID! I never get things with lids...
And here's something I prepared earlier - these are demitasse cups and saucers which my mother got for her wedding in 1963. I've had them for years, but have never photographed them before. I loved them when I was a little girl, and when I bought my first house mum gave them to me (I think she finally figured I was responsible enough)
