For years I had to do all my sewing, wedding dresses included, in the dining room and clear up before the children came back from school. <br />That dress is beautiful, did you make it or were you just repairing it?

The dress is beautiful but I would hate to have the responsibility of replacing those missing sequins.

Not good when our boys were 4 and 1 at the time. So we sent off for a leaflet from the British Trust for Conservation and had a go. Hazel is pretty hard to kill really, and when you see how hedges recover after being trashed by tractors, well, there was nothing to lose. It's very satisfying to do, I really enjoy it though it is hard work. The worst part is getting rid of all the branches afterwards.....that's the bit I hate :-)<br />Jan xxLunch Lady Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636079950656858885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-90164470271925999212015-02-25T21:32:23.844+00:002015-02-25T21:32:23.844+00:00Glad you managed to find them, Annie, and I'm ...Glad you managed to find them, Annie, and I'm sure the dress will look fantastic.

Now I'm back and I've been looking at that gorgeous wedding gown.Stunning!<br />Oh gosh, 5 children. I don't envy you. I'm not very good with kids. A children's party would be my idea of hell.lol.<br />Hello lovely blog readers,<br />Saturday I went to our nearby town to do a beginner’s course in Patchwork. I’ve always wanted to do this. <br />In the morning we made a cushion cover with strips of material. We sewed (by hand) onto a backing that had a pattern on it. Every piece on the backing was numbered to make it easy, and it felt a bit like ‘painting by numbers’. It really was easy. <br />This little chicken sat on the work table. We were given the pattern so we can have a go at home with whatever scraps we have. She looks cute doesn’t she?<br />Here are a few action shots.<br />This is a shot of the shop. I was like a kid in a sweet shop! All those gorgeous fabrics! Lovely! <br />Have a great week,<br />Lisca#25Liscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769800031871534836.post-50283996583752005612015-02-25T09:47:34.974+00:002015-02-25T09:47:34.974+00:00Morning Annie.

I'm now known as Slack Alice in the knitting group as I knit so loosely. <br />Heres a thing though, the jumper fits. Here's another thing, I've lost lots of weight since I bought the wool months ago.
