I'd been looking forward to a good session on the machine this evening, and I completed the daisy chains on the inner border, and along half of one of the two sashing strips.
It wasn't the jolliest of sessions, though, and I stopped after an hour - the top thread broke a couple of times, which was a pain; the discussion show on the radio was particularly irritating; and Domino cat was mooching about intent on trouble, 'up to stuff' which needed me to keep an eye on.
It's all about perceptions, though, isn't it? I wouldn't feel so sour about the short session if I hadn't been looking forward to it so - if this had been an hour grabbed on the hoof between other jobs, I would have been delighted at my progress!
Onwards and upwards - (and whisper it quietly), but I should have a spare hour tomorrow evening to sew too...
Looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna! :-)
DeleteWe all have times when the sewing machine seems to gather dust without us (Bag end is a prime example!)
ReplyDeleteLeaving everything out - as much as the cats will permit - does help because then you can snatch the odd 10 minutes here and there.
I like to keep everything out/ready as you suggest, Bilbo - and as long as I remember to pull the door firmly closed behind me (not guaranteed by any stretch!), I don't get sneaky visitors enjoying the comfort of the half quilted item/fabric box!
