Rainy Day Truce.

Sunday spent by the fire while it rains outside.

I'm stitching in the ditch in red embroidery cotton on this cot quilt.

I want it to look vintage and handmade, and cuddly, which is why I'm hand quilting it.




The Tail Cat and Marigold have called a truce for the day because they both felt inclined just to sit by the fire.







So if you pretend the other one isn't there it all works perfectly!






And when you nick off out to the kitchen to see what's available, someone else gets your posie!





Two in a basket is even cosier.




Graham's idea of phone a friend perhaps?





Oh Marigold you have such a dirty face! I am affronted!




I found some Brambly Hedge china on Trade Me, which was very exciting, because I've always wanted some.
This one is "Winter."





And this one is "The Meeting."





Spent the evening climbing over engines, ladders and various gear box parts with Hubby measuring up the Granny HQ kitchen.

Brain storming solutions for hiding the electric fence controls, and the water filtering system,

while still keeping enough bench space and keeping the look that we want.

We have come up with a cunning plan, which I won't bore you with, but I think it will work very well.

Watch this space.

  4. Rain on a weekend--not my favorite at all, but the thought of stitching is so cozy that it's (almost) worth it.
