Sew Stitchy Bird Cushion...

 

good afternoon!

 

sweltering hot

i'm here at my computer

with the fan blowing on my back

&

wishing a breeze

would sweep through the window

and cool my reddening face.

 

 

 

speaking of red...

the second cushion is finished.

 

this will go on miss a's bed

at the completion of her bedroom makeover..

{which her mum is doing while she's in thailand...see previous posts}

 

 

 

this one was smooth sailing.

i cut it out in the cool of the evening on sunday

while the church across the road

serenaded carols from their front lawn

during their annual christmas celebration.

 

living across the road from a church

certainly has benefits!

 

 

 

{i have found the secret of getting an even row of studs.

 i did the ones that show on the outside first

then if the bottom halves are slightly crooked it doesn't matter...

'cos they're not showing.

i did it the other way around last time

and they looked slightly skewiff on the back of the aqua cushion.}

 

 

early on sunday morning...

well, not that early, 6 am,

i woke up the household for a few minutes

while i hammered the studs in

and finished off a few seams.

the red cushion was finished before i went to church just after 8.

{..and i got the washing up done before church as well!}

 

 

 

 

tomorrow..tuesday

i will hand them over to go to their new home

'cos miss a arrives home at the end of this week.

 

this morning i started on the final bag for miss d...

 

 

it is wonderful looking at all your beautiful winter pictures

as i swelter here..

i find them so refreshing,

even though i love summer flowers and ocean pics too.

 

 

have a marvellous monday...whatever the temperature!
