Hello
My pesky cough back in March turned out to be more than just a cough. Its likely that it was the dreaded lurgie, which has absolutely floored me and I am still not back to normal yet. Last week I finally got a test and it was negative so that was the best news. I was worried in case it hadn't actually gone away.
On Monday, I realised that VE Day was looming so a quick call into my local fabric shop for some material for bunting which arrived super fast. It was a handy panel with 32 printed flags on it. Got the White Featherweight out and made two lots of bunting, one for me and one for my fab sister. It was lovely to feel well enough to do some sewing on a machine. Not really used this machine much, I got from an Auction house in the a job lot of other things, some of which I sold. This machine was a bargain.
We had a tea party in the garden, my partner was in character. He thought the bearskin add class to the occasion.
Here's the bunting on the summerhouse.
If you look carefully, you can see the Singer advertising signs, wish I could afford original ones.
Burt nicked the bearskin rug and scragged it, naughty Burt.
We had a lovely afternoon tea, our neighbours were out in their gardens and we all toasted Churchhill's speech on the radio at 3pm.
Take care
Sharon
It's amazing how long it takes to feel well enough "just" to sew isn't it? glad you're feeling up to it now. I love the side of your summerhouse - I like signs too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lizzie, its been a absolute swine. I had a holiday yesterday, a couple of hours in the summerhouse reading, it made a change from the living room.
